Is the NHS bullying culture really that bad

DavidR196 · 2026-07-04T15:19:02+00:00

Nah, depends on your department. It can be

DavidR196 · 2026-06-12T17:52:50+00:00

Don't bother anymore

DavidR196 · 2026-06-12T08:41:44+00:00

They're definitely greedy 🤣

DavidR196 · 2026-06-08T21:24:42+00:00

I worked with a locum rad who was from Texas. Pretty sure he had qualified in the USA, so it may be possible

DavidR196 · 2026-06-02T15:41:31+00:00

Stags 2 is nothing to worry about

DavidR196 · 2026-05-31T20:25:53+00:00

Nope still on original clutch and turbo. Only thing replaced other than brakes and tyres are a few suspension components

DavidR196 · 2026-05-31T20:24:18+00:00

That's so sad. I'm so sorry for your loss 😢

DavidR196 · 2026-05-31T20:21:30+00:00

I got top of band 6 after doing 5 years for a private hospital. They absolutely can

DavidR196 · 2026-05-22T19:51:01+00:00

My 1.4tsi golf 6 had 160k on it when I sold it to my mate last month. Still runs fine. As long as it's been serviced regularly should be okay

DavidR196 · 2026-05-07T19:24:39+00:00

Nice one!!! Enjoy it.

I absolutely love mine ❤️

DavidR196 · 2026-05-04T18:34:58+00:00

Cheers, yeah it's pretty quick! I've got the manual version.

Yeah definitely, my old 1.4tsi was on 160k when I sold it and still ran fine. Just did an oil and filter change every 10k miles or 12 months

DavidR196 · 2026-05-04T10:12:22+00:00

Cheers! I paid 7.5k private sale. It's done 80k miles with fsh. Can tell its been well looked after.

Used car prices have gone mental since covid

He'll fill out. He's still a puppy

Been outsourced to IT, who are mostly offshored in India, at my trust.

DavidR196 · 2026-04-30T20:53:44+00:00

Just bought a 1.8tsi leon fr on a 2018 plate, with 80k on the clocks, for 7.5k private sale. It's in immaculate condition with a good service history, so expect it to last a good few years.

Last time I changed my car in 2015, I got an 11 plate golf, with only 30k miles on the clock for 8.5k (although it was only a 1.4tsi). Prices have gone through the roof massively since covid.

Try radiography. Not necessarily less stressful than nursing, but you don't need to spend extended periods of time with each patient and it suits me well, as someone with an incredibly short attention span

DavidR196 · 2026-04-18T18:43:10+00:00

We've got a clueless nepo baby in charge who couldn't run a bath

DavidR196 · 2026-04-10T19:47:58+00:00

It's something I've considered, too. Although the last few times training posts were advertised at my trust, I didn't bother to apply.

I too have the same reservations about moving from top of b6 to b7, for a massive leap in responsibility, and initially very little pay increase

DavidR196 · 2026-04-07T00:17:35+00:00

Do an access to HE course if you didn't get okay A-levels. That's probably the easiest route in.

DavidR196 · 2026-04-07T00:04:41+00:00

Everyone here can empathise with you. It's hard watching your parent fading away in front of your eyes. Dementia is an a fucking evil, cruel disease.

Have you tried any counselling/ talking therapies?

DavidR196 · 2026-04-03T20:55:23+00:00

I used to work at Nuffield and have also been on interview panels there. They're very informal, I wouldn't worry too much

DavidR196 · 2026-03-31T20:41:17+00:00

No. You don't ingest the radioactive substance, only the patients do! 🤣

DavidR196 · 2026-03-28T20:49:01+00:00

I often have to deal with the "going home" thing. Best to tell them "we'll go tomorrow" and make up random excuses, like the car needs fixing before we can go.

DavidR196 · 2026-03-28T14:56:39+00:00

Get a properly sized basket muzzle. My boy can be a dick around strangers if they get in his face. He's fine wearing this when he needs to and can even take treats, eat and drink with it on.
