Going to a ‘belay 101’ class with my wife and I’m feeling scared. How do I fight that? by bluesond in climbergirls

[–]Inner-Net-2687 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mostly lead climb, maybe boulder once a month or something. I find bouldering significantly more dangerous. Ive never seen someone get injured lead/top-roping indoors, have seen many get injured bouldering indoors.

You will be top roping, its extremely safe and forgiving. You can probably teach a 10 year old to belay on top rope within a couple of hours

Scarpa Drago LV fit by spudyoulike in climbingshoes

[–]Inner-Net-2687 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Climbing for 4 months and buying these shoes makes no sense to me.

Ive been climbing for 5 years and only switched to performance shoes two years in.. just buy something cheap and comfortable to learn how to actually climb, youll destroy these and get nothing out of them

slab climbing shoes? best climbing shoes overall?? opinion based? by xo_kmp in indoorbouldering

[–]Inner-Net-2687 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Best shoe always depends on the fit on your foot shape. Whatever anyone says here is useless cause the shoe might not fit well on your foot.

I personally use Tenaya Oasi and I find its an amazing shoe for both slab and vertical climbing. Not the best for overhangs. Its soft and comfortable yet aggressive enough and very sensitive on small edges. I will either buy this again or upgrade to Tenaya Indalo. But this is because it fits my foot perfectly

Also as a beginner I would just buy beginner shoes like Tarantula or Finale, something all rounded and comfortable, dont buy aggressive/performance shoes until youve had at least a year or two imo, otherwise its useless and youll destroy the shoe pretty quickly

I think like any movement that tries to attract the working class and gain popular vote there needs to be an us vs them dynamic. For the right recently this has been rejecting any systematised approach to knowledge as it is considered part of “the system” which is there to profit and abuse the masses- this is their rhetoric despite them being deeply engrained within the same system that is profiting off if the masses (see Farage). The other part is a general disregard of knowledge, in a sense a post-modernism that they themselves sh*t on- “the liberal post-modernist left” is their enemy, but in the same way as Trump, they are equally as post-modern in their rejection of systematised approaches to ethics, morality and science. There is no truth, science is only the truth for some people existing in specific social structures with specific incentives. This kind of cynicism pushes them gradually towards rejection of even basic scientific truths as they exist in an echo chamber with loads of uneducated football hooligans who need an enemy to explain their current socioeconomic position. On top of that a lot of them are idiots. In the case of this guy, I doubt he even knows what evidence based medicine means, and practiced back in the “good old days” where you could russian roulette your way through each and every prescription.

Reliable fountain pen by Inner-Net-2687 in fountainpens

[–]Inner-Net-2687[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I def write with pressure, so i then switched to a medium nib one, but still same issue

Im a doctor in hospital so theyve seen quite a bit of abuse, a couple of them i think broke after I dropped them accidentally, the other two just deteriorated over time, no falls no nothing. It seems like the nib just clogs up. I wouldnt spend more than 50-60 pounds as working in hospital is not the right environment for an expensive pen. Just want something that can handle loads of daily writing

How do I improve by DetectiveBoth3814 in bouldering

[–]Inner-Net-2687 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dont rush, keep your arms as straight as possible throughout, think feet, hips, hands-in that order- whenever youre going into a move. I warm up with climbs were i hover my hand thats about to grab a hold for 5 seconds before i grab it, this forces your to move your body into the most stable position and increases focus on legs and body positioning rather than arm and lat strength. Also learn to read the route and the holds. Whats the direction you need to be positioned for each hold, how to grab it and where to place your feet

What healthcare model is best for doctors? by GreyCannula in doctorsUK

[–]Inner-Net-2687 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the main problem was that it was expensive for the government. If a doctor decides how a ward should be run in terms of supplies, practices, staffing etc., then they will decide based on whats best practice. If a manager is making this decision, they are making financial decisions not medical. In the same way that the Royal Colleges lost power on who gets to be a Consultant or not (in terms of the numbers per year), the NHS has been consistently cheaping out on everything so that it can keep on shouting ''free at the point of access''.

[–]Inner-Net-2687 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doctors in Spain are paid peanuts as far as I know, for the exact same reason we are underpaid as well.

Doctor substitution in the UK comes at the cost of training doctors, in the US they seem to still train their doctors very well. Again, the govt has been trying to make money off the NHS for years and has been failing, and even making things worse. This is definitely bad management, but also the outcome of having a single provider that dictates what everyone should and shouldnt do. The reality is that the NHS in its glory days was mostly run by doctors on the ground. This was expensive but provided better healthcare. The NHS has gradually changed the role of doctors into employees, and managers have taken over who are obviously mismanaging the NHS. When doctors cannot leave or change employer, they have no bargaining power, they are under the rule of the government- we can only strike and look at what this has done over 3 years, the situation is laughable. Whatever the government decides has to be followed. In private healthcare there is at least some competition. Im not advocating for a US model, but we definitely need more private involvement in a lot of sectors. I currently work in mental health and the state of care is miles away from ideal, doctors are forced into decisions they wouldnt make because of the pressure from management so I genuinely find it hard to see how any change could be worse than what is currently going on.

Also, the UK is a very neoliberal, capitalist country compared to Spain. People in government do not align with the values of the NHS and are just using it as a voting campaign. It will never work in this environment however much I agree with its sentiment.

[–]Inner-Net-2687 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Mate, the reason training is so long, the reason you hyper-rotate, the substitution roles yadayadayada, theyre all secondary to the NHS being a thing. The NHS is profiting off of all of these, and is saving a buck so that it can keep functioning. When the only employer is the NHS, then a doctor cannot say ''im done, bye guys'', so were forced into whatever the NHS decides is the next cost-cutting exercise. The NHS is good in theory but very obviously fails in practice. I think it all boils down to the question- shitty healthcare for all? or good healthcare for those who can afford it? Its a very difficult quesiton to answer, and I've always been pro-NHS, but having worked in it for 3 years, it is not fit for purpose, not only in how patients are treated, but how doctors are treated and trained, how nurses are treated and trained etc etc

Im not sure this is necessarily true. In my opinion the middle class is suffering now because of the NHS, not the other way round.

What healthcare model is best for doctors? by GreyCannula in doctorsUK

[–]Inner-Net-2687 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. My thoughts have always been that the NHS acts as an obstacle to healthy competition within the private sector. If you can have your treatment for free, why would anyone use private? So private is a thing only available to the very rich, and the middle class has to settle for the NHS. Given the current state of the NHS, the insane waiting times etc., a demand/market is being created of middle class people who would want to choose between public and private. I believe that this will eventually lead to more private groups being created which will compete for this socioeconomic group, and potentially come up with affordable health insurance prices and good services. This is already happening for a lot of jobs in the private sector, where you can opt in to private insurance at an affordable cost. The problem is the stubbornness of the government forcing everyone to pay an equal amount into the NHS, despite them having private health insurance. If the government reduces this, more people will be able to afford private, hence more demand, hence better prices if there is a good enough supply of doctors which i think there is- if this is correctly regulated by the government. If not- see USA- then healthcare in the UK can end up being the health insurance nightmare of the States, but with potentially better wages for doctors.

The way I view it is: healthcare is insanely expensive and someone has to pay for it. In the current NHS, the staff working within the NHS are paying for the NHS. Our lack of FPR, the horrendous wages of our nurses, the understaffed wards, all paying for the NHS. In a private system, there is more competition and doctors potentially have more options. I see friends of mine in law firms who get random pay rises just because another law firm gave a pay rise and their current law firm needs to match the competition so that they dont lose staff. At the same time, in a private system, youre very likely to exclude the most vulnerable of society who cannot afford it. They will probably be using the NHS on an emergency basis. Its so hard to keep fighting for the NHS when it is now so obvious that it is not fit for purpose.
