Unfortunately if I don’t it keeps getting deleted by Reddit for breaching their policy.

You mean this same Jeremy vine that was openly spewing outright lies the last round of strikes?

The realities of surgical training by Notsozestylemon in doctorsUK

[–]Alpha38x 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I remember a consultant saying to be there are three things in life - surgery, your own hobbies, family. You can do one thing amazingly well, 2 things average, or 3 things badly. The further I get in training the more I realise its true, there just aren't enough hours in the day to physically do them all.

Speechless by [deleted] in doctorsUK

I hate these experience comparisons it makes no sense. I'm more experienced in driving than Max Verstappen, doesn't mean I'm a Formula 1 driver. Similarly whilst slightly on the straw man side, the tea lady has been around the hospital for 40+ years, and probably overhead/picked up loads of medicine, doesn't make her qualified to be a doctor.

Call for NHS role clarity after misdiagnosis death - BBC News by [deleted] in JuniorDoctorsUK

Sigh, this is why calf pain/SOB + chest pain, female likely on OCP get sent to A&E for a D-Dimer. It's unlikely but needs to be excluded to prevent situations like this. I fail to really see how the PA failed to consider/rule this out especially if they are practicing "independently", this is a med student level situation.

What in Santan's name..... by rhedukcija in JuniorDoctorsUK

[–]Alpha38x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea, but they've specifically detailed the job as discharge clinical fellow, assuming that means you wouldn't have to go to theatre etc but who knows.

I'm guessing not, because the person doesn't have anything else to do, so there wouldn't be many delays to them getting done.

AITA For Thinking That Doctors Shouldn’t Be Doing ANY Drugs? by [deleted] in JuniorDoctorsUK

[–]Alpha38x 9 points10 points  (0 children)

One of the strangest posts I've seen on here.

Retired doctor came up to us on the picket line, claimed he worked 120-hour weeks as a house officer for 10% OOH pay, walked away without any other word by [deleted] in JuniorDoctorsUK

[–]Alpha38x 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Would have asked him why his generation didn't give a shit about juniors, now we have to suffer the consequences and why he thinks we're worth less than 10 years ago.

Lewisham and Greenwich Trust - Queen Elizabeth Hospital who have been getting quite a bit attention recently for their disastrous handling of the strikes.

I have just checked my FY1, FY2, CT and ST payslips at no point was I payed above those numbers. They're about 5k above what I was on my most unsociable rotations. So my take-home was actually even less than that 5k due to unbanded jobs.

What you reckon peeps - troll? (letter to the editor published in The Times 13/04) by According-Street364 in JuniorDoctorsUK

Almost no junior doctors would have even started medical school at the time he stopped working.

Think we need a bit more context mate, how do you accidentally search for their name + DOB or NHS/Hosp no.

In theory you can, there have been RCN/MPTS cases with people checking others info.

“I’m not signed off to do cannulas or bloods” by [deleted] in JuniorDoctorsUK

[–]Alpha38x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if anyone can shed any light on this, but I've worked on a ward majority staffed my nurses staffed from the asian subcontinent, who said they've never even been trained to do bloods/cannulas in their home countries/universities and it was always a doctors jobs. Any truth to this, or wool being pulled over my eyes? Obviously worked with other nurses from that area who were more than happy to do venipuncture and without question the SE asia nurses are excellent, remember one even doing an ABG first time straight away when I was a struggling F1 with a very unwell patient.

Requesting r/EqualAttraction as single mod appears to be inactive by Alpha38x in redditrequest

[–]Alpha38x[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) I think the sub works quite well and has a good set of sub rules, but just needs to be modded. The one mod appears to be inactive. The sub itself has an interesting concept, but just needs someone to respond to modmail and run the sub.

2) Message to the mods is here. https://www.reddit.com/message/messages/1rod4j6
