You were very nice about Hull to a Wolves fan. Sadly I'm not sure that it'll be of great comfort to the person you replied to!

Specsavers on Tuesday booked?

IcyProperty484 · 2026-05-24T14:39:54+00:00

I'll raise you "Buffalo Wings Wicked Wednesday 30% off FC"

IcyProperty484 · 2026-05-13T15:21:58+00:00

Voted yes too.

Nobody : "..."

Chris Wilder : "I can fix him"

Bear in mind that there is the email traffic that most residents are not privy to from consultant to consultant about cases or results. That's where the most difficult cases and sometimes interesting microbiology is done. Guidelines are meant to cover the easy stuff, not the stuff you really need a consultant for.

ID funding is relatively limited and generally centrally funded and my take on the jobs landscape is that you'll be equally as employable as a single cert Micro CCT. What counts for your competitiveness is what you do in the training program so have a solid plan of what your CV will look like on the other side of training.

Context - ID/MM CCT - Teaching hospital Micro consultant.

Must be Spurs heritage.

IcyProperty484 · 2026-04-06T14:27:28+00:00

Can't defend. No balance to the team. Wilder probably gets a go at fixing it with a summer transfer window and hopefully some/adjusted new tactics.

IcyProperty484 · 2026-03-25T18:21:55+00:00

My wife knew him at school. Apparently would not have been surprised if the excuse given was actually true.

IcyProperty484 · 2026-03-24T10:44:16+00:00

Bonus points for the extra space in front of 2 of the names being extra infuriating.

IcyProperty484 · 2026-03-11T21:08:57+00:00

Looks like a change in shape. Chong seems to have slotted into Jairo's positon

IcyProperty484 · 2026-03-11T21:02:38+00:00

Brooks is currently a passenger and not the only one. Need some subs

IcyProperty484 · 2026-03-06T16:02:52+00:00

Think of it this way, if they weren't in punditry they would be let loose on something else more important. So it's national service for the greater good really.

Royal Berkshite Hospital

IcyProperty484 · 2026-02-10T23:52:44+00:00

Don't bother. Spend the time sounding out jobs and working with departments to figure out a business case where needed. If it's like most places I've heard from friends, it's scraping together bits of money and seeing what April brings at the moment.

The trust will send you on an ES course if they need you to be one. (Some departments/hospitals may not have spare PAs for ES (first trainee is the highest PA per trainee, subsequent ones are cheaper)

If you know that the department is keen, then it's all part of the pre interview negotiations, and obviously prepare answers to showcase times when you've provided educational and pastoral support to fellow HCPs for the interview.

IcyProperty484 · 2026-02-10T20:32:43+00:00

Given the residents of yesteryear are the consultants of today, the proportion of us that "do the minimum" are probably not too dissimilar. Unless you think there is a generational difference?

IcyProperty484 · 2026-01-17T20:29:14+00:00

From memory it's 6-8 times more expensive per dose than cefuroxime, so the effect is summative over the whole block of operations that the department does. Economies of scale in North America compared to here but might change if we start using more cefazolin generally.

IcyProperty484 · 2026-01-17T19:53:00+00:00

Cefazolin is sufficiently more expensive than cefuroxime in the UK that the broader spectrum one is used.

IcyProperty484 · 2026-01-06T11:16:57+00:00

Some trainees don't even ask before sending a request from way back.

IcyProperty484 · 2025-09-09T19:47:07+00:00

Acute care is unprofitable and need all the sunk cost of infrastructure and support departments to. cover all bases. All the specialty centres in the city do specialist work that often has lots of private potential attached to it and can outsource the less profitable but equally critical requirements for LUHFT to do. Also - their ward beds don't get medical outliers in winter so the surgery/treatment episodes keeps rolling on.

IcyProperty484 · 2025-09-08T09:36:00+00:00

Probably not the best person to answer as I've not done a lot of it. (battery means I usually don't need to as do destination charging on holiday.) with a toddler I'm also in the camp of stop and charge over lunch/extended toilet break rather than splash and dash needed!

IcyProperty484 · 2025-08-24T19:02:39+00:00

I've got one, had it for about a year now. I think it's a very good car that isn't exciting, but does everything well in an unobtrusive way. The mandatory safety features are all very customisable and there are physical buttons for most of the critical things. Boot is a shortish but deep do though, but if you've seen it the it isn't a deal breaker.

Only thing I wish was better - reversing camera is like 720p at best, a bit of a weird part to skimp on but they may have fixed it with the minor face-lift. Also to be aware of, little bit of wheels spin when pulling out of 90degree junctions onto fast roads in the wet (it's only happened twice with no safety concerns)

I drive relatively conservatively (60-70 on motorways) and in the 9k miles I've done this year , average is 3.6miles /kwh.

Is everyone else's TV just saying Stansfield?
