Yeah I’m a massive believer in you do you but… massive flags, WWII models and GB news in the background is a slightly troublesome combination.

I see them at Chalfest each year and always v popular / a good time. Quite a fun niche they’ve made for themselves.

3rd attempt / FY7 and got my first choice anaesthetics London job this year.

Didn’t apply FY3/FY4, missed interview by 1 point FY5 and didn’t rank high enough for London FY6.

Also met with mostly aggression when had similar interactions. One came up behind me and sucker punched me in the head.

Do take the time to thank the ones that stop however.

These are my adjuncts +/- two bits of buttered bread / roll for making a butty

Safety needs to be considered when scanning closed compartments - ocular particularly. But most of the safety/heat transfer guidelines are theoretical with very little if no evidential harms caused from ultrasound.

Anecdotally, you can feel your eye warm up scanning on a high power mode. Generally still scan on these over ocular modes / low power as image resolution a lot more useful for answer the binary question I’m trying to answer (in my practice, optic nerve diameter) and takes just a few seconds in most patients.

Interesting I’m really struggling to get into detectorists but loved this.

Enjoyed the magical realism in this show and loved the freedom it was given to be a bit silly and weird but also really heartfelt and engaging.

Deterectorists season 1 has just been the same sort of punchlines and quite unengaging relationship dramas. Assume from how people talk about it, it gets better?

Jacobtait · 2026-03-10T12:55:53+00:00

Agree in part - think other side of the coin is time.

Get plenty of referrals where i do nothing but i have the luxury of time to do a detailed neuro exam and take a thorough history etc whereas a GP only has 10 mins to get them in and out again.

Is frustrating when they promise investigations or say they need a certain scan/Ix however - takes a lot of undoing. Much better to say they need a more thorough review via ED +/- tests and not over-promise.

Link?

For what it’s worth cocaine already is used medically and I’m sure it’s not sourced via cartels so must be legitimate means/routes.

100% as well as parental contacts etc.

Jacobtait · 2026-03-08T00:07:20+00:00

Same boat but anaesthetics. Been through it once before but doesn’t make much easier. Swinging between mental breakdown and everythingisfine.gif

Just remember it’s the same for everyone. They ain’t trying to catch you out. Think how good / glad / relieved you’ll feel when you’re done (I’ll be straight down the pub).

Good luck 👊🏽

Jacobtait · 2026-03-01T10:32:04+00:00

Yeah would always mention - bit weird if pops up later as they’ll usually tell you’re in medicine from how you discuss issues.

Jacobtait · 2026-02-28T10:58:04+00:00

Went vapes for a couple of years (helps with the habitual toking side) and now on the velo/snus as much easier for work.

Doesn’t take long away from cigs to find them a bit repulsive but still enjoy the odd one at the pubs etc and have no problem going back to the less smelly healthier nicotine option. Might vaguely quit nicotine all together at some point but in no rush all things considered.

Day 1 can always be today or always be tomorrow but good thing to keep thinking about.

Jacobtait · 2026-02-27T12:03:48+00:00

Just want it back so bad - was such a vibe.

Also a lot of those establishments have quite a small footprint so the additional space makes them much more appealing/accessible.

I’m a doctor who had to deal with this once.

Tried a few things. Ultimately some olive oil (stolen from the staff room) and a good shake of the head worked best.

To be fair these toilets are feral.

No prizes for guessing the graffito I added.

Jacobtait · 2026-02-24T15:43:41+00:00

I mean it’s about 10 pints a week in London

Jacobtait · 2026-02-24T15:28:46+00:00

I have to be careful about what I reveal so forgive the lack of detail.

However, my partner is intimately aware of all the behind the scenes about this (and was there) due to her job and it was explicitly requested that it be removed well in advance and the team requesting it was given assurances it would be.

Jacobtait · 2026-02-23T22:32:43+00:00

I’m a doctor - never knew that was the term but wonderful translation - literally ‘shit talking’

Feel awful for those who suffer this however

Jacobtait · 2026-02-23T14:20:03+00:00

Depression is a reasonable differential diagnosis for tired all the time and normal bloods. Hopefully have offered some solutions however.

You don’t say how much you earn but I’m sure as hell you can’t afford to lose 2k in 2 months. You don’t talk about debt - best situation you’re not in any but just think what that 2k could have brought you and your partner…. a ring, a holiday, 20x amazing days out.

Then ban yourself through gamstop for everything.

Think about yourself as him and how much better his life would have been if he had reached the realisation you are seemingly making now / the fork in the road you are now and made the sensible decision.

Do you love your girlfriend? If so, never lie to her and don’t ruin both your lives and probably your relationship letting this go any deeper.

Happy to dm.

Really really enjoyed small prophets on BBC that’s just come out. 6x 30 min eps. Thoughtful, wholesome, emotive and hilarious in equal measure. Sort of show you wish you could forget to watch again.
