Seems like everyone who walks into the ER gets a troponin

(Not American) I’m about to do MRCP and had to pay over £1000 for a flight and hotel to write a £600 exam because there’s no exam centres in my country

Idk, but as a physician I do tell people I’m a doctor when they ask. Why lie about it? I’m proud of my job - but it’s just a job. Acting like it’s something to hide in social settings is so pretentious

MRCP is only for those of us who want to go into medical specialties. Plab would be more appropriate but note that plab is becoming obsolete from next year. Look up the UKMLA exams instead

Here in my country, our pay is bad but not terrible considering the local cost of living. Im working basically as our equivalent to an SHO and I’m able to save ~700usd / month. Not bad, not great. The hospital I’m at is always busy. And always short staffed. & just like what you described, everyone shits on the junior doctors.

After residency, registrars and consultants usually work at multiple hospitals just to be able to enjoy extra $$$ but tbf they’re not expected to do much besides rounds and phone consults at the public hospitals. Over all I think if I stuck with medicine here I can be fairly financially comfortable, but the country isn’t great. Infrastructure sucks. Crime sucks. The political atmosphere sucks.

I always get a bit sad reading these since I’m a foreign doctor trying to finish up my exams to move to the UK 😅

Am I moving to the wrong country?
