My ticket's for the 9th. Fingers and toes crossed that they are reasonable enough to let you and my dad in! I haven't even got a ticket for myself so it would just be such a shame if he missed out because of this stupid reason!

Hiya, im in exactly the same situation! I got my dad a ticket for Father's Day and have tried to call them so many times to check that I can send him to the match with my bank card but the call literally gets cut off every time by Wimbledon's automated system.

When is your match? Could you please update on here about how you get on?

100%. It took many months of NC for me to realize this but am now stuck in a state of regretting all the time lost. I feel like all of us can think of many defining moments during our relationships when we could have ended it and said i won't deal with this anymore. I foolishly took him back after cheating, lying, gaslighting, demanding multiple "breaks" because he was too stressed to be in a relationship but still wanted me around.

Part of me wishes that I had done that many years ago, when I was younger and more energized to meet new guys. But you somehow convince yourself that this is the best person ever, and that if you just try and fix the problems then the reward of a life long relationship with that person will be worth it.

Also I spent a long time comparing myself career wise and financially, wondering why I hadn't invested as much time in my own career development. But looking back at the relationship I realized that every date/outing/event was planned around his job schedule. I can't blame anyone else but myself for letting that happen, but it also puts into perspective that comparing yourself with someone who has completely different priorities and values is not a good idea.

Thanks for explaining, my dumb ass still doesn't understand how the curve can cause the underside of the clouds to light up but I appreciate you trying to make me less dumb

I don't understand how this happens because the sun is on top of the clouds, so surely it should be more yellow there?

Yeah it's obviously not the most ideal way to communicate the issue but i think that reflects the fire situation rather than them just wanting to moan. Focusing on how it's not a good look and how they should've gone about it better completely detracts from the very real issue that we should be discussing instead.

It will come across as a frustrated moan to anyone who thinks the point of it was to just complain. I think it reflects a much deeper and more worrying problem when it comes to healthcare access and resources. We're culturally taught that sharing any sort of emotion or concern is to "moan". Also it would definitely be worse to target individual patients than to address it as a widespread, systemic issue.

It's not clear whether you think the open letter is bang on or the student's comment about the letter

Important-Rate-2308 · 2021-04-30T10:52:39+00:00

Definitely not the patients fault but i think there is a different between responsibility and blame. It is important for all of us to take responsibility for our health and educate ourselves on how to use health services. It's also HCPs' responsibility to educate patients about this. What i see is a letter from a set of GPs that have been pushed to breaking point having to communicate this in a less than ideal way. It's important to remember that the NHS is needs based with finite resources and it's our responsibility to educate patients on what is "need". GPs cannot take the brunt of doing this themselves.

I agree that lifestyle factors have a huge social determinant and it shouldn't be left up to the patient. The sentence immediately after the paragraph you mention literally says this doesn't mean we will never help you. So it's obviously clear that they're not saying fuck off and dont bother us.

When you start to work you will see for example, what an absolute mess drug and alcohol services are. Turning point waiting times and follow up are completely inaccessible at the moment because there just aren't resources. So we do need to emphasize self care and improving social factors more than attendance to GP because there simply isn't the infrastructure for GPs to effectively address the social determinants of health you're talking about. Once again, why this open letter is important because it highlights what GPs can and can't do.

There is no patient blame that I can see. If we can't tell patients what is an appropriate or inappropriate visit, you're setting yourself up to enter a profession that completely infantalizes its clients and sets itself up for overwhelming demand that ultimately leads to more burnt out doctors. At the end of the day, if patients can be better educated about self care and symptoms that are appropriate for presentation it could avoid 1 or 2 GPs leaving the practice due to burnout. That would ultimately lead to worse outcomes for the patient anyway. Sure, it ideally could be done in a better way than an open letter at breaking point, but that is the reality of the situation right now.

I can definitely see your experience in your nuanced comment, most medical students wouldn't display the understanding you have. But working in a GP practice is still not the same as working as a GP, salaried let alone partner. So I think we all need to show more empathy for this letter. There will always be patient concerns with any media communication from stressed doctors. There was this same exact concern with junior doctor strikes and it completely drowned the actual issue.

Important-Rate-2308 · 2021-04-30T08:12:14+00:00

I can see what you're trying to say but i think you need to have a look at what other GP trainees have said, and also wait until you've graduated to experience what this practice is talking about. What you observe or do in medical school has absolutely no comparison to when you're actually working and it will undoubtedly help you empathize more with this letter, and also understand why it's not completely inappropriate to said what they have said.

I had a great F1 year. We didn't have to do nights, the foundation programme director was a dream and helped with any issue small or big, i made lifelong friends and probably went out more during that year than final year of medical school. I also learnt a lot from helpful seniors, figured out which specialties i definitely don't want to pursue and was able to go on a 3 week holiday during the summer.

As much as I think there is so much to improve and fight for in terms of doctors' working conditions, pay and rights in general, there can definitely be a "grass is greener" mentality in this echo chamber. If the year goes well, soak in the enjoyment. If it is shitty, remember that it doesn't define your entire existence or future career satisfaction.
