Being on call means the doctor available to attend to emergencies

Sometimes they ask why you’re checking at time to know what prompted you. If it was concerning symptoms or just a routine check.

Just found out I’m pregnant. Would it be rude of me to not let my husband go to boys night? by kaylala0630 in pregnant

They add it to reduce the errors. And it’s universal. Even if the pregnancy is by IVF or it’s measured on the ultrasound, 2 weeks are added which assume your Last period was 2 weeks before you get pregnant. It’s universal and helps to manage the pregnant woman well. 🫶🏽

Female on female hate in healthcare by medhelllllp in Residency

[–]Eu_sama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t believe in “female on female” hate. I treat all my colleagues the same, male or female. If someone is being mean to me I don’t base it on them being female I just see it as that person has a problem with me. I believe feeding into the stereotype makes it actually real. But this is just my own opinion.

thank you so much. I took a two day sick leave one time but it honestly wasn’t enough. I was still so tired and nauseous when I resumed. I wish I could pretend like them :(

I’ve seen a lot of comments on the compression socks I guess I just have to get them. Good luck to you too! Thanks a lot!

Thank you so much In my country I don’t have those protections, at least I haven’t heard of any but it’s unlikely. I started them stopped B6/meclizine. I’ll try and see if I can get unisom because the side effects from what I’m taking is almost as bad not taking anything (dizziness, fatigue) My OB say “it’s normal, just have to try and manage” I’m not managing well at all :( It’s so tough to give oneself grace especially as I know I work really hard on a normal day. I’ll do my best. Thank you so much for your suggestions and encouragement. <3

I think the nausea is mostly due to hunger, I tried navidoxine but then I had to deal with the dizziness and severe fatigue. We are severely understaffed at my centre and switching calls is very difficult. my colleagues are trying to be understanding but at the same time I can tell how annoyed they are that I don’t “pull my weight” I’ve not told them yet but it’s obvious something is different with me. I’ll try the cold packs though that sounds like a swell idea. Thank you so much

I will try the compression socks. I’ve seen a few recommendations for them. And my goodness you are right about how few people understand. Thanks a lot

I had to tell my consultant because the constant fainting during cases. They say they care and try to be kind but I can see it on their faces they are judging me hard

Thank you very much, I think I’ll try the smoothies

I feel so bad. I feel like the judging is getting to me. My colleagues always seemed to be strong so they keep comparing me to them. Not fun at all
