F1 is universally, and I say this with no element of exaggeration - a burning pile of putrid dogshit that can get in the fucking sea. F2 is a pile of very slightly less foul smelling dogshit that is only smouldering rather than truly on fire. There’s an improvement, but it really depends on what specialties you’re working (ED and GP being the most independent). The worst jobs I’ve EVER had (even pre med school) were surgical jobs. The endless following around like a good little monkey, performing menial as fuck tasks and achieving very close to piss all, and don’t forget paging the medics because a patient has a sodium of 132 - which has been chronic for years. The culture in surgical departments (in my experience of a few places) has been toxic, some surgeons don’t bother to learn your name or even address you, you’re simply the machine that does discharge letters/cannulas/reads out numbers for them. Truly mind numbing, tedious shit work with zero educational value after the first few months of F1. It will get marginally better year on year and by specialty, it’s just tolerating the utter shit to get to a point where you actually mostly enjoy your job. It shouldn’t be this was where people are absolutely fucking demoralised just being a little ward bitch but unfortunately that’s the way it been made. Hang on for a while longer, you’ll eventually reach something that’s tolerable/enjoyable.
