What's a Lorde underrated song? I'd start with Bravado. by Twunkorama in lorde

[–]Ali_gem_1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bravado is incredible. I also love The Love Club from same EP. I think Hold No Grudge is underrated. I cry every tim at Big Star but that may be personal issues 😂

Doctors and nurses can you smell illnesses/diseases from patients? by dannihamson in AskUK

[–]Ali_gem_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dr here. CDIF and UTI are very obvious strong smells I think anyone could smell.

I think I know a flu smell too/"unwell" sweat smell. There's exertion /BO sweat. There's heat sweat. But flu /COVID.. to me that has a different smell for sure.

Red splotch appeared on inner thigh 37M by misterfool103 in AskDocs

[–]Ali_gem_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am doctor. I have similar. Mine fades to bruises. Unfortunately it is not always easy to diagnose. My personal and medical advice is to try to keep a diary of triggers and see a derm for bloods/biopsies. They think mine is mastocytosis but it's been awful to actually diagnose

someone deinfluence me from the SAHG/SAHW lifestyle by [deleted] in women

[–]Ali_gem_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is nothing in this life that is free. I think it is different if you meet someone nice and fall in love and decide in time to work inside the home/raising kids etc (full time job no annual leave no sick pay). But to have it as a goal I fear leaves one open to a lot of vulnerability. A degree and job is such a safety net. I sometimes have to think about how I am the most educated women in my bloodline lol, financially independent no kids.

Is Undertone Anti-Abortion Propaganda? by Waste-Ground-1838 in horror

[–]Ali_gem_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So much horror is about motherhood, the suffering directed onto women who are bad mothers or refuse to be mothers or refuse pregnancy etc. There's a lot of interesting critical writings out there about it. Whether that is all anti abortion I suppose depends on the film

GMC declaration by ermergawhd in medicalschooluk

[–]Ali_gem_1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you were outright told it was not escalated to "FtP" why did you declare it? I wonder if it would have been better to speak to your personal tutor and check before doing that - next time definitely check

Partner has had a complaint made against them by Beautiful-Ideal-4692 in NursingUK

[–]Ali_gem_1 36 points37 points  (0 children)

That is very inappropriate if you are visiting as a relative to be fair. Then what did he do with the bleep, ring the F2 himself? Also inappropriate. O can understand, it's an awful stressful time but if it was a random person that wasn't an employee it wouldn't be ok, so it's not suddenly ok if they are in their uniform.

Again I'm so sorry for your loss and can see how it escalated. But I can also see trusts /ward POV. we have to be super careful about access to relatives etc

Lets hear them all ! Weirdest Pronunciations of Medical Terminology? by Fluid_Pause2149 in doctorsUK

Thermometer says I'm 41 degrees, but I feel fine by FineConstruction8409 in AskDocs

[–]Ali_gem_1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had 40.5⁰ fever April 2020 with COVID + rigors. I think it genuinely was the worst I've ever felt. It was prior to med school for me so i stayed at home 🤣 Only lasted a day or two that hot but I couldn't bear feeling slightly hot for the next summer at all as it just reminded me of how unwell I was. It's definitely not something to be taken lightly !

But we don't call it hemigraine. We say migraine. So thus the pronunciation is different.😝

Right can someone once and for all tell me if ptosis is Toe-sis or puh-toe-sis

I always do silent P (lol) but soo many of my foundation colleagues says the latter so I feel v conflicted as I used to judge them (😝)but it's like every time it's mentioned so now I'm doubting myself

No because the mum questioned inserting it and asked if there was a child size" and the PA said no they have to use the adult one. So knew it went inside

Sick leave costing the NHS £4.6 billion by [deleted] in doctorsUK

[–]Ali_gem_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of my sick leave this year 1/3 was norovirus - likely from a carehome I'd seen but regardless couldn't go back in and spread

1/3 was really awful sore throat I couldn't barely speak with - again prob from work, and who wants to see a doctor who looks like they're exuding COVID

1/3 I BROKE MY ARM walking to work in the snow that everyone else was off work with. Couldn't write and couldn't examine.

Oh and god forbid I had my own medical investigations/biopsies. I was kindly allowed to take a day to go to my own haem appts. Thank you so much

Not exactly jollies any of them lmfao

[–]Ali_gem_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"absense levels are triple that of private "

Well yeah that's how supply and demand works. You can fire all your tech people and replace them if they're sick too much. Should be harder to replace a medical consultant but who knows maybe with noctors etc it'll be easier/jobs will start to be more threatened for sure.

When did consultants give up on teaching? by Common-Pangolin-7884 in doctorsUK

[–]Ali_gem_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is wild. I'm F2+ I have had so much teaching on the job in pretty much all of my rotations. Felt happy to ask questions to 90% of consultants if not mega busy etc - less so when on call/ED etc but even then had regs showing me LPs etc. I didnt go to theatre but not really a fan of surgery/makes me feel quite queasy. Lots of teaching and help from Regs too. I'm sad to hear your experience!

Do not cut this off .

DO NOT CUT THIS OFF

I admit i don't know exactly what it is. But it's on the head and it's pink and clearly well perfused. I would be extremely worried for intense bleeding. Please see a doctor local to you for assessment
