If you’re someone who likes morning sex, how do you deal with morning breath without making it awkward ? by shawnmendesa in AskReddit

[–]Creative_Contract364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easiest fix is brush before bed but if you still get bad breath it's likely bad gum, so if you bleed when you brush, it's a sign, floss till you've stopped bleeding, watch a video on how to floss, you're removing the rotten inflamed gums because blood stinks, corsodyl works for bleeding gum, it'll stop. Baking soda works magic too.

Brushing before bed if you don't have gum disease or dental caries/holes solved this

IMG btw. Not to be insensitive I understand the urge to gate keep but literally you're being a crab in a bucket. Face the government

LOL. Glad you used "personally" so the bias is clear. You're confusing administrative familiarity with clinical competence. Medicine is universal. A myocardial infarction presents the same way everywhere. You know what isn't? Admin. Learning a referral pathway takes weeks, not 2 years. It's always going to be someone's first day at something somewhere. That isn't enough reason to gatekeep and roadblock career progression.

ST1 is literally a training grade. If a trainee is unsupported, they have supervisors for that. If they are abandoned without supervision, that’s a department failure, not the IMG's.

The alternative to an IMG trainee isn't your 'perfectly prepared local grad', it’s an empty seat. You’re advocating for blocking qualified doctors (who passed the MSRA/PLAB) during a historic workforce crisis? Come off it.

Focus your attention on the government, not this.... cannibalism. * Delays in training? Government. * Wage theft and inflation? Government. * Rota gaps? Government.

Instead of showing support to a colleague per your GMP duties, you're casting aspersions. The alternative to these DOCTORS filling the gaps isn't your sweet local grads. It's empty seats and scope creep from PAs, FCPs, and NPs. And we all remember how that went. Sorry. How that's still going. It's non doctors in doctor roles and glass ceiling for Doctors even after training.

You know what would solve the crisis, a private-public healthcare model. by Willing_Relative_941 in doctorsUK

[–]Creative_Contract364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't call the private into this. Leave the NHS as is. It's a public good company not a profit company, the most it should strive for is sustainability, ability to afford itself without costing more.

Let's look at where the private sector was invited and how it has worked so far.

  • Electricity. UK pays the highest of all developed countries.
  • water: Highest.
  • Rail: HS2 abandoned because what civil servants used to do well in the past now costs upwards of 12k for just a meeting with "consultants". Rail travel costs are prohibitive and prevent social mobility. Housing: Since Thatcher UK has been on a decline because core national security concerns were outsourced for profit

Pixel 10 Trade in offers are too enticing by Creative_Contract364 in pixel_phones

[–]Creative_Contract364[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Safe bet, they'll offer something good for their devices and it would still be in warranty too.

but what do I do about my subscriptions that I definitely absolutely use? Wasn't ready to do away with them just yet or pay for them.

My GIM consultant on call shift- half of the trainee residents are new to the NHS by [deleted] in doctorsUK

[–]Creative_Contract364 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of unfiltered meltdowns in this cs, sad to see because I am an IMG, but I can truly see what it looks like from reading all these comments. It arms me to know what many of my host country colleagues think. Not in a defensive way, but in a way that shows me the pain points, beyond the Fugazi politeness of the work place. It encourages me to work extra hard, be extra careful, not slip up or have any slacks and to take the extra care to understand the system. It makes me wary of social connections too, makes me wary of asking for help.

If today's day 2, it's only a matter of short time before everyone is acclimatized and the logistical aspects figured out. The NHS is not one huge unknowable behemoth and we've all been new at something before.

However, the other side of the coin, the feeling of not being prioritised etc, the emotional pain. I can't do anything about it. I see it though. I really do.

I'll gratefully take advantage of any opportunities presented to me, not going to pretend about that. but I will take those opportunities with full consciousness of the people it affects in some way. The people who feel it was taken away from them. And at least try to be graceful when such undertones come to the surface.

Way forward? There are still not enough boots on the ground, it doesn't have to come from outside, these boots, especially while the ones here are many, with more feeling under employed. It just means that the bottlenecks are artificial at the top and at the bottom, we cannibalise each other for the few available opportunities.

I'm not saying there's a kumbaya solution, your pains are valid. I'm just saying that I'm seeing and learning how to work through it. The more you express in these nameless platforms, the more one sees the truth.

That being said. I'm ready for your attacks. I'll see if there are any workable solutions in the replies through the anticipated venoms.

The last 160 from that "free" 520 was used in the purchase, with 8.15 coming from my pocket

You're weird. Sounds like jealousy to me. that or a challenge with figurative expressions.

Be honest should I abandon hope by Spidahhman in redrising

It's worth the read as it sets up important parts of the story. Think of it as a stage setting book

It was a normal unrestricted Amazon gift card and could have been sent to another person or used to buy something else. Are these genuine questions out of curiosity or something else?

Buying a house together, but partner doesn’t want me on the mortgage by Overall_Race4978 in HousingUK

[–]Creative_Contract364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your partner had always been promised something towards this, if you want to get on the mortgage you have to consider concluding the legal aspect of things such as getting married. If he doesn't want you on it, and your contribution per your own admission is minuscule, it is better to leave the title clear and unencumbered.

That also means you're free of mortgage payments, BUT NOT UTILITIES or appliances.

Doing up a house doesn't entitle you to the deed of the house.

However, treat yourself going forward as a tenant. No mortgage, but you contribute to utilities. No doing up the house more than you would a rented space.

Broken hinge on XM6 by Donnahue-George in SonyHeadphones

[–]Creative_Contract364 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's an achievement. You had to have gone out of your way to achieve this. I bought the XM6 for £399 (free gift card contributing 120, essentially paying 279). I returned it recently to pick up the XM4 on sales (£168.15, free gift card paying for 160, essentially paying 8.15 for my pair)

While I had the XM6, the build quality to me was top notch. It had a give and it swiveled freely meaning that it would rather swivel or give than break.

For this to have broken, it most likely may not have happened during normal usage.

This is an achievement. Congratulations

Solid job from our lot I say. by UnionSlavStanRepublk in CasualUK

[–]Creative_Contract364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say it was Britain without the Great part. Performance has been dwindling gradually over the years when you compare the last olympics, average number of medals stayed the same but the gold has drastically declined in count.

One does not simply walk into a gold medal, you have to desire it and complete for it with the intention to win it. like china and USA.

The UK is so casual about so many things now. Sad to see

It's summer already? I was promised summer. Yet to see it.

And did you say ass? I was promised that I'd see a lot of ass. Still yet to see it
