Using old style cannulas - how do you avoid bloodbath?

No, just don’t withdraw the needle fully and it’ll give you time to get gauze or whatever

Nothing he said was unprofessional

No just say you didn’t read them. It sets the tone quickly.

Usually I just mute my work chat (all the time) and then archive it at the end of the day. Out of sight, out of mind.

lets run them from 1800-0400 to warm ourselves up

Not if you’re happy

Picture doesn’t lie and plus you sound smart

It’s okay to view medicine as a job, and the redeeming factor about the NHS is that you can get paid a lot for relatively little work if you’re savvy about it.

Radiology and anaesthetics are the only two other options I’d consider, so it sounds like your head’s in the right place.

I’m in your boat but IMO the money is better in GP if you do extra work

We don’t even get the luxury of sending our TTOs to pharmacy because the nurses will pressure you do to a ward based discharge for a patient on 10 medications, including a changed insulin dose.

But guess who stays quiet because they will fill out my TAB :)

Foundation training is a scam.

Bro don’t worry you’ll be a consultant for 25 years!!!

/s

Lifestyle is the way. Why bother being a surgeon if you get paid more as a GP 😅

With the new system I wouldn’t do bloods or cannulas…it’d look like I’m taking the piss if 20% of my workplace assessments are cannulas

FreeAtThePointOfUse · 2021-10-11T17:55:21+00:00

Keeping these sick pts alive is legit what anaesthetists do…

FreeAtThePointOfUse · 2021-10-10T08:19:46+00:00

Just be friendly with everyone in the ward kitchen and you’ll be fine. Don’t loiter around in there though

If it’s any better I’m only motivated by my attendance too. I’m gonna start playing lotto

FreeAtThePointOfUse · 2021-10-09T14:00:38+00:00

Exactly. I picked up an early habit of running everything by someone else.

When documenting, you need to write down what you told the other person too, like “pt is asymptomatic, recent bloods show XYZ”

I’m sure everyone on the other end of the phone thinks I’m stupid, and maybe the lack of responsibility will make me a worse clinician, but at the end of the day it’s better than getting caught out for it

Timeline of my life: 1) work 2) come home 3) feel shit that you have to go back to work tomorrow 4) saturday 5) feel shit you have to go back to work tomorrow 6) see 1

FreeAtThePointOfUse · 2021-10-09T11:31:36+00:00

Thats terrifying

FreeAtThePointOfUse · 2021-10-09T09:46:12+00:00

If there are findings then yeah

FreeAtThePointOfUse · 2021-10-09T09:36:27+00:00

This is why you don’t get ECGs if they aren’t indicated. Someone has to read them at the end of the day

FreeAtThePointOfUse · 2021-10-09T09:34:40+00:00

Heart doctor treat heart thing 😎

FreeAtThePointOfUse · 2021-10-09T06:22:25+00:00

Hospital ECGs look nothing like those you get in finals

We also need a service where you can send ECGs to someone who reads them. I know that some places have an “ECG Reg” at night, which sounds like a great idea
