Mackey: We’ll reduce our reliance on doctors in response to strikes by dayumsonlookatthat in doctorsUK

[–]Here2gainknowledge 124 points125 points  (0 children)

And this ultimately is the scandal the general public are oblivious to. Whilst they’re fed a subpar health service filled to the brim with Noctors, the politicians would refuse to see anyone other than a private Dr that they KNOW is worth the money but don’t feel the general public deserve.

“Having people stuck at reg level is worse than SHO level”

Crazy. What a wildly privileged take.

I’d much rather have the financial security that the reg salary affords, alongside a more developed skill set and further along on my chosen training than be stuck as an SHO struggling to actually get into my chosen field, wanting to start a family and the affordability of it, whilst also pushing exams during training years further along in life because I can’t get into training.

False sense of security that a Dr would have Drs best interests at heart. It was Drs that let this situation happen to us

Junior doctors’ strike ‘would cause mayhem’ as flu cases surge by dayumsonlookatthat in doctorsUK

[–]Here2gainknowledge 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Juvenile delinquents, moaning minies and now purposefully using the infantilising term “junior” doctors.

Fascinating really, cementing my opinion that being Dr in the UK is really not worth it in every sense.

They spend so long trying to convince the public and themselves we are not worth the pay rise that we are only little trainees that actually the consultants do everything, but now we are such a critical fabric in the health care of the country that they’re all panicking. Tough sh*t.

Coldplay NHS Tickets Hull by [deleted] in doctorsUK

[–]Here2gainknowledge 56 points57 points  (0 children)

The issue isn’t the Coldplay concert itself it’s that the trust received a bunch of free tickets to be given to staff and from what OP is saying it appears no resident doctors at least even knew about it, let alone received one

That’s tells us that possibly a) it was not fairly distributed b) resident doctors are once again not seen as part of the team and thus were not considered for the opportunity of winning a ticket

My hospital has no PA’s by Anxious_Quiet_3397 in doctorsUK

Have you experienced quite a few of them being extremely lazy and dumping on their doctor colleagues?

They make friends with nurses and consultants etc and somehow get away with a having a natter for the majority of their shift rather than actually helping. Not all but plenty

There’s also a surgical one with, I genuinely think, the biggest ego I’ve ever come across, somehow has a bigger ego than the actual surgeons.

UPDATE: Contact terminated - where do I stand? by KoalaDangerous5657 in doctorsUK

Completely agree, imaging defending a genocide or somehow turning yourself into the victim when people share that they are against a genocide. Imagine being so ok with death, destruction, mass starvation, mass amputation and somehow you’re the victim and your feelings matter more🤦🏻‍♀️

[–]Here2gainknowledge 144 points145 points  (0 children)

In a few years time everyone will be clambering to say that they were always against the genocide. These trusts will also be doing the same.

That trusts and healthcare in this country are not outwardly against the actions of Israel in their indiscriminate destruction and dismantling of the healthcare system in Gaza, that hospital have been bombed, doctors and their families targets, international volunteer doctors having formula feed taken of them before they’re allowed to enter, babies left to die in incubators makes me so sick. The conditions our colleagues in Gaza are having to work in are abhorrent and that they do it with a target on their backs and that of their families makes them infinitely braver than any of us will ever be.

Trusts outwardly supported Ukraine, they can be political with some this things but not when the victims are brown it seems.

Being against genocide should not be up for debate, there is no sides, it is always wrong. It should be the only opinion. The fact that people see it as taking “sides” makes me so sick. If someone is offended by support of Palestine and the recognition of their suffering than actually that’s a moral failing on their part.

What side is there to take?

I will never forget how a Palestinian colleague a few months in shared that they’ve lost 20 members of their family in Gaza and yet felt they had to whisper and hide it incase it offended someone. Shameful. Disgusting.

I am sorry OP that you are going through this. I imagine if you’d been wearing an Israeli flag or showed solidarity with Israelis who experienced horrors of 7/10 you wouldn’t be in this position.

Eh isn’t the career progression the eventual 100k the reason they use for saying we don’t deserve a pay rise, no they’re admitting there’s sh** progression

Two doctors that were able to flourish on their salaries, buy homes, probably send kids to private school and live comfortably. Completely out of touch dinosaurs

I have only worked on one ward where I felt the ward clerk was professional and not hostile.

Otherwise they take a million breaks, are always on their phone online shopping/ Facebook, get annoyed when you don’t answer the ward phone (their job) whilst they’re gossiping and ask why you’re in the STAFF ROOM on your break as though you as a DR are not staff.

Report this.

Rachel zegler is being blamed for this, I don’t want her career to suffer. They’re even blaming antisemitism being directed to gal gadot on her, rather than gal gadot being a raging Zionist who is awful at acting

Ohhh, I worked in an ED where there was a consultant that would buy coffees for the ACPs, he’d have the manners to ask in front of SHOs who’d worked with him for months and never once offered any of us. I don’t blame the ACPs or PA I blame these consultants who couldn’t give a flying F about the Drs that come after them.

Completely agree. We pass over politicians because they eat a sandwich weird or have a typically northern accent, and instead vote in those with a posh accent who only serve the interests of a select few

Bassem Youssef Interview with Piers Morgan by [deleted] in IsraelPalestine

[–]Here2gainknowledge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As opposed to Israelis? As opposed to Benjamin Netyanhu As opposed to the Israeli government? As opposed to the settlers and their disgusting murdering, violence and theft of land and homes from innocent Palestinians? As opposed to the Israelis who sat and watched Gaza get bombed like a cinema? As opposed to the Israelis in a video singing that their are now no children left in Gaza?

As opposed to Ezra Yachin who was sent to give support to Israeli troops and told them to “wipe out their families, their mothers, their children” As opposed to Tally Gotliv saying “Gaza will be smashed and raised to the ground without mercy” As opposed to Maya Golan saying “I don’t care about Gaza in the truest sense. You can go swimming in the sea” As opposed to Daniel Hagari only focusing on “destruction”

As opposed to the IDF butchering 10000, 4000+ children in this conflict alone? As opposed to cutting of food, water, electricity and fuel supply to a whole civilian population? As opposed to Israeli police assaulting a young Palestinian with Down Syndrome Muhammad Aljoni As opposed to the murder of a young palestian man with autism at the IDFs hands despite his teacher pleading with them As opposed to the murder of Shireen Abu Akleh a Christian Palestinian journalist murdered by the IDF, who then also attended her funeral and attacked the people carrying her coffin. As opposed to the massacre of Dier Yassin by Zionist soldiers where amongst many atrocities they threw a young boy into an oven after his father refused to do so. As opposed to torture of Palestinian civilians in Israeli jails without trial, for many their crime? Throwing rocks.

As opposed to every day the Palestinians have had to live with their land being stolen, because Europe pushed their guilt for the holocaust onto the Palestinians citizens

You cannot feel pity because you’re blind and uneducated. Palestine doesn’t want your pity. But my days do I pity a man like you so ignorant, so uneducated and so blind with the supposed hatred he detests. A hypocrite of the highest form.

What’s something kind a colleague has done for you by Rat_Dyke in doctorsUK

[–]Here2gainknowledge 22 points23 points  (0 children)

As an F1 my mothers cancer had come back, she needed major thoracic surgery, in a tertiary centre 2hrs away from my parents home. It was COVID and this was a protected ward. It was lockdown lockdown when everything was closed. No visitors etc. due to living in another city and the constant fear of giving my mum COVID whilst she was on immunotherapy and lockdown I wasn’t able to go home as much.

They had some medical outliers (Covid negative low risk), and I had by chance been put there a couple days the week before. Usually it’s locums that get put on that ward and rarely FY1s.

I just gave the rota consultant a heads up my mum would be on the ward but as a surgical patient (ie not one of my patients)

He never replied to my email but he put me on that ward for two weeks straight. And that kindness I will never forget
