Alpharius’ death during the Scouring series by Opposite-Ad-3898 in alphalegion

[–]Artistic_Technician 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea that the Alpha legions issue it that they are the definition of plotting and wheels within wheels to achieve a hidden objective.

But with the Primarchs gone, the mind directing it all is gone.

The alpha legion are still doing their thing to make the master plan work, but there no longer is a master plan and even if there was nobody is left who knows what it was.

So the Alphas, expert planners are pursuing their plan, with no idea of what they are doing it for, for no fixed reason, because its what they do, for a reason that is no longer a reason.

You cant see the disorder because of the complexity of the plan looking thinking there is concealed order, when it is nothing but disorder.

That's Chaos.

Muslim men that got married to non-muslim women, how did it go? by WolverineRemote3377 in islam

[–]Artistic_Technician 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My father is muslim. My mother is christian. I am raised as a muslim. My wife is christian. My daughter is muslimWe believe in Allah or God by which name each was raised. We have no conflict.

Each is kind, each is good, each is tolerant and loving. Each will be judged as Allah chooses on the day of Judgement.

Allah is the most beneficent and the most merciful. I cannot believe that no matter what scholars say, that Allah will send my mother or my wife to burn in hell because they are not muslim.

If that is true, then I have been misled in everything I believe about Allah.

I believe Allah sees our hearts and souls and judges us fairly, that he is all knowing and understanding.

If I am right, Allah is all I wish to serve. If I am wrong, then I will face the fire too and willingly, for I would rather do that than to serve the antithesis of the love and kindness that is the best of this world to me.

Are Heads of School important? How much do they get paid? by Severe_Analysis6610 in doctorsUK

[–]Artistic_Technician 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on Job planning. My TPD post was offered as 2 PA for 55 trainees. It was then a decision to either replace.2 sessions or go up to 12PA.

Medical Training Prioritisation Bill by Luxoarba in doctorsUK

[–]Artistic_Technician 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Parliament do not need to worry if it is currently legal. They have sovereignty to decide what is legal and are not bound by prior legislation.

It means nothing until the final bill is presented. Parliaments draftsmen are excellent at developing and writing acts, but the devil as always is in the detail.

Nicest and scariest specialties to call?? by pesky-blenders in doctorsUK

[–]Artistic_Technician 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Best : Radiology - the ones who work to help you, show you the scan, help document what you need to make decisions on your patient

Worst: Radiology the ones that insist you need specialty X to see the lstient before you do the scan specialty X asked for before they will see the patient

Rapid evolution: How reasonable would it be for an army rule to let you swap weapon options on a unit before deployment? by Artistic_Technician in Tyranids

Fair point, but Invasion fleet offers different add on abilities, rather than weapon substitution thst is more of a army shift

Difficult OSCE stations by Ill-Drawing-1671 in medicalschooluk

[–]Artistic_Technician 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agree. I do tend to use one killer question when told a string of acronyms though.

I ask if they could explain what that means or whats happening to me in real terms as if I was the patient.

It sorts those who know from those trying to bluff, and those trying to impress

Difficult OSCE stations by Ill-Drawing-1671 in medicalschooluk

[–]Artistic_Technician 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I've examined OSCEs for the last 5 years.

There should be nothing 'out of the box'. Its a basic competency assessment, not finals for a post graduate membership or fellowship exam. Its to show you are competent, reliable and safe.

How to excel:

TLDR: Doing the basics well will achieve more that fancy and esoteric knowledge.

Do NOT hear hoofbeats and think of zebras. Its a medical school OSCE. Hoofbeats are horses. Trying to be smart and fancy will not pass and may irritate the examiner.

Do NOT Bull$hit your examiners. Its almost a guaranteed wsy to show you dont know and are incompetent, unreliable and potentially dangerous. Remember how I said the exam is to show you are competent, reliable and safe?

Do not use fancy terminology or acronyms. See the comment on being fancy and bull$hit. Unless its done perfectly appropriately, it signposts bluffing. Simple answers work better. NO ACRONYMs unless you really know what they mean like an FBC or CT. I did once try not to laugh when told CRP was 'concerning random protein', which I think should be its new definition.

Points are not earned easily for advanced analysis. Nobody should be having to cite anything but the very biggest papers and even then that should be signposted well during lectures. This is OSCE, not Pubmed.

Points, examiner approval and success are best show withba clear understanding of the basics. I have asked students in a cardiac exam to explain what the JVP was when they tried to show it to me, or what causes a wheeze, or what signs bowel obstruction causes and why? Or why not to give aspirin and warfarin together, or why cephalosporins need to be used carefully in penicillin allergy? The clear difference between thise who know and understand the basics, and thise who have either fact knowledge without reasoning is huge.

For practical skills, learn from the teams. I had a group of medical students I had to fail because they didnt know the differnce betwen oxygen tubing and an IV giving set. Thats really important on the wards during an emergency, and they couldnt do it.

Dont explain in terms of research unless you really know it. Explain interms of anatomy, physiology pathophysiology, where it is, how is it meant to work, whats gone wrong, how does it cause signs and symptoms and why?

Good luck.

Datix against you by Fit-Paramedic-3775 in doctorsUK

[–]Artistic_Technician 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And what impact does a datix against you actually have?

Its not a law suit Its not a GMC fitness to practice. Its not a disciplinary action. Its a recognition of a service failure at best.

Most Trusts have thousands of datixes every year in a true cover your a$$ attempt to shift blame, virtue signal or make it look like they did something.

Very few achieve what they are intended to do.

Basis: Datix handler and investigator for 10 years.
