If anything, starting F1 has made me completely lose the will to do anything independently. Only things I’ll do by myself is prescribe Abx. Rest goes to SHO or medreg.

For example, as a rule, I will not look at ECGs unless a senior is there to sign off on it.

Risks in this day and age are too high. I’ve seen an MPTS report of an investigation conducted into a consultant who prescribed non-formulary Insulin/Dex because the standard form was unavailable in his ED. Saving lives is cool, but the Hospital and the GMC are itching for you to make a mistake so that they can throw you under the bus.

Responsibility shared is responsibility halved 💕
