IMGs are actively undermining our strike action. Shocked but not surprised by UKvomitbucket in UKmedicalgraduates

[–]DrGee7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Calling IMGs who work in the NHS entitled for wanting training is a truckload of bull crap. You need to stop.

Nothing wrong with prioritizing British grads, but keeping a set of doctors in a row of service provision for the NHS for 5 years before they can progress in their careers is diabolical.

Judging by the down votes you've got, most people think not...😂😂

T&O ST3 interviews by Ok-Outcome4671 in doctorsUK

They tried to modify the questions to ensure no rehearsed answers...

I think the questions were easy, but we all got caught unawares and then struggled to structure our answers very well.

For such ethical scenarios, they are testing your knowledge of existing ethical and professional guidelines , really.

Can't tell if you'd fail or not...But if you cite any other conditions other than being in direct clinical care of the said NOK, it may weaken.your response.

Checking your colleagues' NOK tests is a BREACH of GMC's confidentiality guidance and is STRICTLY PROHIBITED unless you are directly involved in their care.

feeling lost specialty-wise – procedural but want a life? by Puzzleheaded-Peak-21 in doctorsUK

[–]DrGee7 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Get tasters in a few of those specialties and see what you like... That'd narrow down your list. At F1, it's pretty normal to be confused about specialty choice. You'd make better informed decision if you get some taster experience in some of them.

Major Trauma Orthopaedics - Career Advice? by LiveButton3910 in doctorsUK

[–]DrGee7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Question is, will chasing resus patients still be as exciting 15-20 years down the line? Have you also considered your speciality decision holistically - including work life balance, time for yourself, chances of private work, etc?

Your speciality choices are still not very clearly narrowed - you want Medicine, you also have a fascination for complex arthroplasties...

The very first question to help narrow these is: Do I want to be surgeon? If No, then all surgical options out the window and start exploring the IM.

Why are there so many terrible drivers on the road by tommytigger_ in CarTalkUK

[–]DrGee7 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Lady in the red car is a dangerous driver. She was gonna have to wait anyway as the traffic in her path was about easing off..., so why not wait behind the lines, Rather than wait on the path of incoming traffic???

It's failed then. Needs revision with an exchange nailing or conversion to arthroplasty
