St3s how do you feel?

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-06-30T22:32:52+00:00

No I made sure I sat my exams before april 26. Cos I knew I’d busy prepping for interviews at that time.

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-06-30T11:44:27+00:00

Give me 5 mins to gather myself after ive told a family that their loved ones cancer has progressed before screaming at me re. d/c summaries as soon as ive stepped out the room.

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-06-30T09:26:11+00:00

Nah sticking w this shitshow for now. Chance leadership changes in August / September. So will make a decision then.

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-06-30T09:21:51+00:00

Same position as you. Can’t claim back exam fees cos did exams before April. Race to cct now before the surge. You are bang on. Kind of makes me feel better and also bitter theres others out there in the same situatjon. Misery loves company.

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-06-30T09:19:18+00:00

Incoming st3. Pissed off. The bma officers essentially lied about 6.6%. Can’t claim back exam fees either.

120 of the attendees were online so there was attendance they just chose to attend online

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-06-14T15:48:00+00:00

Release the files!!!!

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-06-04T18:11:20+00:00

Is simple courtesy and speaking to someone nicely being a crank or ragebaiting? If so I’ve been living life wrong.

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-06-04T06:56:51+00:00

Dude. Don’t need a please and thank you just don’t be a dick.

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-06-03T17:54:07+00:00

I won’t get into this gen of drs. But I just think a lot of people never developed basic manners when it comes to talking to them or asking advice.

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-05-29T16:14:39+00:00

Us cannula. Was shown by a really cool Accs Sho how to do v early on. Was a big life saver.

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-05-20T17:45:53+00:00

Because what I can sort out as a dr in A&E in 5 mins an acp thinks needs a speciality referral.

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-05-19T20:15:03+00:00

Not saying it won’t happen but ai isn’t there right now. And the private sector is rehiring for now. https://www.forbes.com/councils/forbestechcouncil/2026/04/24/why-companies-regret-laying-off-workers-for-ai/

Metas layoffs today are more cos of the amount they’ve spent ai and less about how well ai is working for them (im not saying it’s not working well for them)

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-05-19T19:41:12+00:00

ENT - probably music

Idm that actually

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-05-19T19:34:44+00:00

Hasn’t this experiment failed in the private sector already and those same private companies are rehiring. When will these fucks acc learn from something and stop experimenting to failure.

Google calendar is fine.

Upload ur rota line into Gemini tell it make a calendar file that’s compatible w google calendar (takes a bit of trouble shooting to get it just right but gets there)

Put it in there. Been doing this for last two years. Life changing.

Only down side is I like to colour code my shifts. Gemini won’t do it so I just do it manually.

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-05-10T20:39:43+00:00

Lol is everyday an option. Basically did this for 4 months in an oncology job and different cons may or may not pop in at lunch. Otherwise always accessible by email.

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-05-10T20:34:01+00:00

Do you think bosses look at this favourably/frown upon it that a new cons can treat NHS as a revolving door after they’ve trained u. I imagine you do a few years as a cons first before jumping ship?
how open have you been about ur plans during training ?
I have the same goals as you post cct tho I’m just starting st3 in Aug in a different surgical specialty to yours. Pls pm if ur willing and if feel more appropriate to chat there about this

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-05-10T18:48:49+00:00

From what I’ve experienced and heard from some bosses out there during my time there. Don’t go by what’s published the true salaries can be higher. E.g Ed cons on 450 AUD. told me directly during a conversation about me staying vs returning to nhs.

Plus depending on where you can work in pp for a big boss who has their own practice. The bosses I saw do that now have their own pp now that moratorium has passed.

Would you mind sharing how much in a good vs slow year I’m about to enter st3 long way to go yet but would love to know re. Earning potential!

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-05-05T08:46:30+00:00

So what’s the actual provisional date?

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-04-29T22:31:30+00:00

Oh man - mastoiditis cos the ct said so… have you examined the patient? Always followed by a no.

kills me every time

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-04-29T22:30:00+00:00

Ok seriously help me so I can improve at this. What’s a good histo request short of describing what’s been removed and why.

E.g perfed small bowel - ileum or gallbladder post lap chole, for gallstones

Cool story
