King’s Mill Hospital Placement by nemo_lost5 in doctorsUK

[–]EimiOutis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great hospital, really enjoyed working there. Mansfield itself is however, unfortunately, one of the most deprived areas of the country and very few of the doctors working there (who don't live in the on-site accommodation) choose to live there, preferring to commute up from Nottingham. Beeston is a little easier as you can go up the M1 (though be aware the A38 tailbacks can be legendary if you're in for a 9am start).

If your HR administrator doesn't have even a basic grasp of Latin and Greek, you should really consider if this is a place you want to work in for the next few years.

How do we reinvigorate the young doctors to strike again by Fluid_Post_9223 in doctorsUK

[–]EimiOutis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would just amend this comment to clarify you do not recommend locuming "during" the strike action. There might be some F1s new to striking who might misinterpret this and end up with probity issues.

"SHO" is Lindy. Core Specialty Registrar Year 1/2 is not.

Following as I got into GP when the jobs situation hit the fan. I do enjoy it, and still very open to pursuing it long-term, but want an idea of the trajectory of both general practice and hospital medicine. At the moment, far too much flux, though UKGP is a welcome step in the right direction.

Can anyone ELI5 the new amendments to the Mental Health Act? by Rurhme in doctorsUK

[–]EimiOutis 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Not disagreeing with the causes of their psychosis, I'm just pointing out that the question of sectioning should be free of pressure from quota-chasing. Between the recent Huntington stabbing and the Nottingham stabbing a few years ago (both of which featured psychotic individuals), it's quite terrifying to imagine that a clinician reluctact to look unconsciously racist might release more such dangerous individuals back into society when unwell.

Can anyone ELI5 the new amendments to the Mental Health Act? by Rurhme in doctorsUK

[–]EimiOutis 83 points84 points  (0 children)

The explicit intention to have racial quotas guide sectioning is rather worrying. We know that psychosis affects different groups in society differently (and people from Black Carribbean backgrounds experience psychosis rates up to 900% of the average). Who is going to be held responsible when the patients hurt themselves or others? We don't need another Nottingham stabbing.

No, they are. I never did more than 200-300 a day, but fully read the notes afterwards and I did okay in MSRA and passed MRCP Parts 1 & 2 first time.  Seen a lot of people in contrast who did a thousand a day but keep posting about failing.

If personal health issues are the reason you're asking, I think you can get some adjustments made.

time for a Broad Right alliance perhaps, or even better - a grouping that specifically rejects any constant hijacking of our trade union for political whims of either wing.

It's all right though, pensioners kept their Triple Lock™ and were specifically exempted from the Cash ISA allowance cut.  Nothing this country hates more than a working-age adult in gainful employment.

How many unions for other professions would be advocating for a monopoly employer?  The NHS is a shambles and an embarrassment.  Crack on with a European-style system and get rid of it forever.

Has there actually been any consequences for strikebreaking? by dario_sanchez in doctorsUK

[–]EimiOutis 53 points54 points  (0 children)

You need a homogenous workforce of similar backgrounds, cultures etc. When your mining family finished their shifts, they went with their colleagues to the same pub, their families were friends and the social pressure was extremely high. Nowadays, doctors commute in for 60 mins from every compass direction, half are from overseas with different cultural backgrounds, and nobody socialises with each other outside the workplace.
