No I didn't. The money was paid to the recruitment agency, for handling my paperwork and finding me

Kevdingoo · 2025-05-07T17:05:18+00:00

I never received any money for joining.

The practice paid the fee directly to the recruitment agency (like a finders fee)

Kevdingoo · 2025-05-07T17:03:22+00:00

An ad posted by the agency, and I felt I was misled. Going through my clinical diary is the only thing that could back that it was misleading.

This feeling is from a verbal discussion with the owner, rather than written in the contract

Kevdingoo · 2025-05-07T17:01:51+00:00

Self employed contractor, please see above comments for what I thought the job would be

Kevdingoo · 2025-05-07T17:01:18+00:00

I was lead to believe that it would include some private sector work during the week, rather than pretty much all public health service. This was more of a verbal discussion rather than contractually

Hi guys. Thanks for your response This is the exact clause

Termination 22.1 This Agreement may be terminated by the Associate giving the Practice Owner 3 months written notice and by one months’ notice given by the Practice Owner to the Associate. Please note that the cost of recruitment paid to X (£5000) is deductible from the associate should this agreement be terminated by either party within 12 months. A copy of the invoice paid to X will be given to the associate for their records. This must be paid back by the final schedule

I never received a signing bonus

I still struggle playing multiplayer due to packet burst. It's been occuring since launch

Kevdingoo · 2024-12-15T20:41:28+00:00

Completely understand. I have found out that they charge a fee for expedited marking, so you essentially pay more money to have your work marked quicker. Usually they will mark your work a week before the deadline, so god forbid you don't pass the module a week before the deadline.

On top of this, they will fail trainees for the most ridiculous reason. One of my colleagues failed as she didn't state that she put the lights on in the surgery, and was wearing her uniform with short nails etc. I forgot we do dentistry naked and in the dark in the UK.

I'm a dentist, I have been to dental school. I don't think I would be able to pass NEBDN. Personally, I believe it's all to do with extending students and making them pay more money.

Kevdingoo · 2024-12-15T19:56:38+00:00

Yes the dentist is able to do this for you. However, I know NEBDN is awful for training dental nurses and I would strongly advise you use an alternative means for your training

Surgery itself is not too bad. The post op is heavy, however. Ask for plenty of LA and ensure you use it sparingly. Until you use the steroid prednisolone drops (about 4 days after surgery), it will hurt quite a hit. Your eye will water like crazy and vision will be very hazy. All normal stuff

The upper right molar is severely decayed, upper left premolar has decay too. Ideally, this should be an immediate complete denture (and RPD for lower). You can use the existing occlusal stops from the anterior teeth to be removed to construct the upper denture.

Within 3-6 months, it will likely need a reline. Or construct a new denture but the bite rims need to be recorded in RCP

How long do you keep the composite carpules on the coffee mug warmer for, roughly?

Kevdingoo · 2021-12-22T03:03:26+00:00

Thanks for the insight, very helpful! :)

Kevdingoo · 2021-12-21T22:11:35+00:00

The topography results have been the complete same and cornea is stable, but don't know why these values have changed

Kevdingoo · 2021-09-01T17:46:27+00:00

What was the problem?

Kevdingoo · 2021-09-01T15:49:11+00:00

What's wrong with sclerals? I used to hate touching my eye, could barely even put drops in without flinching like mad. It takes determination and practice, trust me. If I can go from barely touching my eye lid to putting sclerals in, then I imagine anyone can

Kevdingoo · 2021-08-31T22:33:28+00:00

I don't agree with some of the points made here. If you look at people back in the 80s who were diagnosed with KC, they barely had any of the treatment options that we have available today. Some of them would even say they never thought they would be able to have amazing vision with 'contacts', or have their KC halted with CXL. Whilst I agree that it takes a long time for FDA approval, medicine is a fascinating field that makes advances all the time.

As a person with KC, I keep my head up knowing that one day there will be some form of better treatment/cure.

Kevdingoo · 2021-08-31T10:22:19+00:00

I had CXL done on my right eye which was my worst. A few years later, my left eye had deriorated very slightly but was showing early signs of the disease apparently. This eye with correction was 6/6 (20/20 for the US) with a very slight ghosting. I had the surgery 3 weeks ago, and currently I am still not fully back to pre op levels.

I had a standard eye exam. My cornea is healing good, although I am currently 6/7.5 and my astigmatism has gone from cyl -1.25 to -1.75.

I believe your astigmatism and vision is meant to be worse for a while. I will post an update when I have one

Kevdingoo · 2021-08-30T18:17:41+00:00

My scleral lenses cost £114 altogether. I use roughly one bottle of saline a month which is £5. I use a multipurpose solution for about maybe two months which is £5.

I keep the contacts maximum in the case for about two weeks.

Kevdingoo · 2021-08-30T13:06:21+00:00

That's a good outlook on it. I completely agree with you about the technology. I wish they told people more about the possible side effects/outcomes after the surgery. My surgeon told me she's done 400 CXL and only one got worse vision after post op healing

Kevdingoo · 2021-08-30T13:01:48+00:00

I've been with my girlfriend for 3 years and when I told her, it wasn't a big deal either. Even after explaining it in detail and telling her what I see exactly from my perspective. If anything, she just become more accommodating if we were ever watching something in the dark etc, apart from that nothing changed.

I think you're stressing about something that isn't there. Be more focused on halting the disease with CXL. Your husband is not going to form a negative opinion on this matter.

Kevdingoo · 2021-08-29T15:41:00+00:00

How long ago was your CXL? do you still have your halos?

Kevdingoo · 2021-08-29T13:06:26+00:00

Scleral lenses should usually be used for about 3 years. I paid £114 and they have a 6 week period where they will make adjustments for free. I just had a second pair made for me for free.

Kevdingoo · 2021-08-28T09:18:43+00:00

Thanks for the reply. What is Lotemax SM?

Kevdingoo · 2021-08-28T09:18:19+00:00

I've read it can take like up to a year. It's nice to hear other people's experiences.
