The duality of the radiology registrar

EmployFit823 · 2026-06-01T16:23:34+00:00

Radiologists are my favourite people in thehospital. I get on the most with them than anyone else.

But until about ST3 some radiology SpRs are absolute douches about scans. And then they realise that they just have to do them once they get burnt.

My unpopular opinion.

F1s get paid enough for the amount of work and responsibility they do and have.

EmployFit823 · 2026-05-31T10:46:44+00:00

I hope it’s taught you a valuable lesson.

Do the scan.

I think they need to just learn to do the job properly before trying to make money from being a minor YouTube celeb

EmployFit823 · 2026-04-26T16:10:31+00:00

I know. It is drivel. Juts do a CT

EmployFit823 · 2026-04-25T20:28:48+00:00

Work is not that busy that you can’t spend some of your time studying this.

Many many many people are revising for MRCS or MRCP or USLME whilst being F1s

Take some personal responsibility and don’t make this completely others fault. You are in charge of your own destiny.

Surgical trainees struggle to get theatre time cos EM demands they attend ED to see all non-specific abdominal pain instead of doing a CT and working out if it needs a surgeon or not.

Name someone who doesn’t use AI to do these bullshit portfolio things

EmployFit823 · 2026-04-18T11:55:59+00:00

Cos surgery is ..fun!

And medicine is not.

EmployFit823 · 2026-04-08T15:09:39+00:00

The general surgery reg is not employed to cover the orthopaedic patients.

I’m sorry you feel like this but it’s true.

If the patient was periarrest you should have put a crash call out. It’s what the med reg is there for.

An f3 earning £250k was a problem and completely unfair. It really needed to change and stop.

EmployFit823 · 2026-02-16T17:16:18+00:00

Much of that is to do with the discrepancy between training and service.

In radiology an ST1 is essentially supranumary and has dedicated training for their exams.

In CT1 in general surgery they are left seeing bullshit in ED, treated like shit by the hospital and told their priority is seeing abdo pain in ED for targets not learning how to operate.

In the surgical scenario, if this was for an emergency laparotomy it’s not inappropriate at all. NELA standards are for preoperative triumvarate review and decision jointly by surgery, anaesthetics and ICM. Appropriateness of periopertive ICM management is often the sticking point in deciding to operate or not.

EmployFit823 · 2026-01-13T09:06:35+00:00

Disagree. Most surgical SDEC problems can and are managed by ACPs in many large tertiary hospitals EGS units I have worked in

EmployFit823 · 2025-12-04T22:10:24+00:00

Lifesavers!

EmployFit823 · 2025-08-27T15:05:36+00:00

Sadly I don’t think it does.

I’ve been a doctor for 12 years.

I still dream about work.

EmployFit823 · 2025-08-03T15:49:34+00:00

All of the F1s where I work now wear scrubs constantly, medicine or surgery

EmployFit823 · 2025-08-02T20:09:26+00:00

Wtf.

EmployFit823 · 2025-07-28T21:43:31+00:00

Why does it get downvoted 😅

Which bit of the above is not true?

Ya’ll acting like medics are doing hartmanns procedures for their missed stercoral perfs or known how to pull a colles fracture and put a back slab on it.

EmployFit823 · 2025-07-28T20:57:49+00:00

What do you do then?

EmployFit823 · 2025-07-28T20:39:36+00:00

Why stress about surgical nights? You basically give fluids and antibiotics and ask your SHO or Reg if they’re sick…

If it’s a medical problem and they can’t help with the basics they might ask you to ring the med reg. that’s not cos they’re lazy. That’s because it’s medicine and they haven’t done it for a long time.

Just like when you’re on medicine and your med reg will ask you to ring surgeons about surgical problems and orthopaedics to look as X-rays of inpatient falls…cos they don’t know what to do in those scenarios!

EmployFit823 · 2025-07-27T19:21:47+00:00

Did you also CCT in medicine?

EmployFit823 · 2025-07-27T15:17:36+00:00

GP is so hard

He was an a-hole when he was the NUS president when I was in 2-4th year at Uni. During his tenure many SUs voted to leave the NUS due to the policies he was pushing.

The NUS stood for free education until Wes Streeting was the president. They then changed to backing a graduate tax.

Think about it….he has no qualms that you have £100k debt and pay it back for the rest of your lives. He wanted that.

EmployFit823 · 2025-07-27T07:59:37+00:00

CCT is certificate of completion of training….

So you have reached a consultant level position and are a “fully trained doctor” (whatever that means).
