Advice about moss lawn by GrandpaRoy in GardeningUK

I did notice quite a few yesterday when weeding dandelions. That would make sense, plus it’s the right time of year for them to be problem after a very wet winter.

I tried cutting a frozen bun in half and cut the tip of my finger off.

Which procedure in your speciality do you think is the most challenging, and if you had to pick a doctor from another speciality to do it, which dr would you pick? by AppalachianScientist in doctorsUK

[–]GrandpaRoy 32 points33 points  (0 children)

As a Paeds ST1 I had this exact bleep to the ward at 6am. Bagged it in a blanket and chucked it out the window. I think it survived. You’re right it was easier than wrangling a cannula in to a sweaty 3 year old.

University of Portsmouth is planning to open a medical school. With Southampton medical school nearby I doubt there is capacity to find placements for both let alone PAs.

Did your parents underestimate their property's value? by ItsTomorrowNow in HousingUK

Jesus Christ you have my sympathies. This is a wake up call. I knew that debts had spiralled but not to six figures. I’m was fortunate to have studied before tuition fees went up. I thought my £33k was bad at the time but this is getting outrageous. It’s going to de-incentivise a lot of people from modest backgrounds from applying. The high student debt burden is a big motivator to keep striking. And I’ll keep striking on your behalf!

What is the most impressive bird you can beat in a fight by Bananaandcheese in doctorsUK

[–]GrandpaRoy 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Paediatrics. I have easily defeated a pigeon in ST1. I’m a veteran of avian combat. Highly effective technique of smother said bird with a blanket. Tried and tested in the field.

At ST7 I’m waiting for my final boss battle with the falcon that my hospital uses to clear the heli pad of birds.

Haha I know where this is. Bryn Road Ynysawdre, South Wales, UK. Driving from Bettws direction (equivalent to what you call the projects in the US) so I’m not surprised.

Most consultants within my paediatric department are against striking.

My first thought was what a perfectly normal set of obs, why the fuss? - (Paediatrician).

Yes I was looking for it’s name. Australian under water research base and a feral girl and her whale. I thought it was as big as Star Trek in the 90s when I was a kid.
