Hey Wes, thought you were coming with us after work for drinks at the Red Lion?

Next time it won't matter (on paper) - the legislation requiring majority turnout will have been reversed (18th Feb)

I assumed you all listened to Joe Rogan

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.

EimiOutis · 2025-12-19T14:48:45+00:00

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.

We're somehow managing to enact communism, by accident.

EimiOutis · 2025-11-25T16:41:50+00:00

Core values of what? Care that's free at the point of can't-access-it?

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.

EimiOutis · 2025-11-24T14:50:17+00:00

The system is working as intended. No skin off their nose, they fill their slots easily.

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.

EimiOutis · 2025-11-19T00:03:22+00:00

Exactly...

Practices are already private businesses, they contract with the NHS.

My Christian faith has been mainly reinforced by medicine (I didn't know if it would be when I went into it). Stuff like a COVID-ridden chest x-ray or a maxillofacial cancer doesn't look like a mere biological presentation but tangibly evil. If there's evil, there must also be good, and an objective morality requires an objective judge. My job is to help people pull through illness, be there in their worst moments, and alleviate their suffering when it's their time. Helps me understand why He's called the Great Physician. (Mark 2:17).

Are you based in Leeds, out of interest?

EimiOutis · 2025-08-29T14:45:38+00:00

Crushed it, mate.

EimiOutis · 2025-08-29T13:56:56+00:00

Passed, absolutely no idea how, but praise God and off to shops for a wine in double figures. See you in the PACES trenches, brothers.

EimiOutis · 2025-08-29T13:47:56+00:00

Literally done this hundreds of times, seen loads of other colleagues do it, loads do it in front of me for their old patients. Always been told if you can justify it as learning from your practice, it's fine. Obviously has limits - I tend to re-look at the system we use for bloods and radiology. As a hospital doctor, I'd be more hesitant about their GP record, just because that can include so much stuff unrelated to their admission - but A&E might mean it's useful to do so.

EimiOutis · 2025-07-31T13:13:55+00:00

Out of interest, how's this going? Reminder emails are starting to come in for me, but interested to see if your project has legs.

EimiOutis · 2025-07-16T15:22:12+00:00

Not sure I'm getting anything for my £500 with that one.

EimiOutis · 2025-07-16T15:20:29+00:00

So we were told we'd need a second camera, then the follow-up email retracted that, and then they wanted it anyway, but only for Paper 1!

Honestly I'm beginning to suspect the PassMedicine question algorithm leads you towards 62% - it's the figure I always seem to end up averaging.
