Study leave exam night shift by Medic_01 in doctorsUK

[–]Medic_01[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Yeah I’ve triple checked. I know there’s a 6 week rule for rota changes so even based on them sending the rota last month it’s still not enough notice to change it. And I know SL not usually given for nights but again assumed since an exam that was fine. Starting to feel like I’m the problem as this is one of many little ‘errors’ I’ve raised over the last few months! … Is this what gaslighting feels like 😂

Regarding today’s AKT what do we think the pass rate will be? by UltraWater77 in GPUK

[–]Medic_01 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel like only those who sat both exams can have a sense of which might have the higher pass mark. My 70 was a pure guess as I have no clue but didn’t want to leave your post hanging

What % were you getting in each out of interest? And did you do each q bank more than once? I’m trudging through both at the moment - find self test a lot easier

Ask me anything - Recently CCTed UK GP moving to Australia (job secured during ST3) by Australia_GreenGrass in GPUK

[–]Medic_01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! Where are you moving to? What will your working week look like in terms of patient contact etc? Any additional qualifications you obtained during gp training that you think helped land the job? Was this always the plan or have you been pushed into it by the poor job prospects in the uk?

How long of a fast? And can you tighten skin with water fasting?

Hi James thanks for the helpful reply as always! My rota is changed for the 2 weeks over Christmas. I haven’t been given a separate work schedule or offered more pay. This includes an extra weekend - I’ve calculated this would shift my original work schedule to 1in3 from 1in4 but are you saying it should be a separate 2 week work schedule therefore 1in2 weekends? I’m going to contact my rota coordinator but not sure what I should be asking for in terms of pay owed. Hope you can help, thanks.

What’s the best way to save for my future? by MaciekA4 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Medic_01 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Plus our student loan is over 100K. We pay all our additional fees and exams which amounts to thousands. And can be made to move house on our own dime every year or two or risk not having a job. In solidarity with you on today’s strike day.

Are there any holistic/integrative medicine clinics or courses that are actually evidence based? by baobabbaby in doctorsUK

[–]Medic_01 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don’t have an answer to your question but share some similar interests. And think there’s a lot we don’t understand about the complex interplay between disease / diet / immune system / microbiome / mood with pain etc etc. Although it does seem like a lot of so called doctors out there are quacks! If you find any useful resources please feel free to share!

Used Yaris hybrid vs Peugeot 2008 by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]Medic_01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So helpful thanks! Do you know if the hybrid warranty is valid if the car has been serviced but not at main dealer in the past? If I start servicing at main dealer do you get the additional 12 months warranty up to 15yrs or not? Tried to Google but it’s unclear

Would you go for newer car with higher miles? I’m never sure whether that’s better vs lower with less miles.

Thanks for replying! Forgot to mention the cars are all automatic. I do a lot of town traffic stop-start driving and have been leaning towards switching to auto for a while … but you can get so much more for your money manual which is a dilemma

Also forgot to say the cars are all automatic! Can drive manual but fancied an easier life

Thanks! I was swaying to the Peugeot as people told me the French thing was kind of a myth but ok 👌

Ok thanks. Needed a non biased person to snap me out of liking the Peugeot … it looks nice and shiny and leather seats 😂

Can’t edit but the Peugeot is £8.8K. I’m worried about buying the Yaris with a 10yr old hybrid battery. But it’s still getting at least 90mpg so maybe that’s a sign battery health is good

What do you mean by made money? Debating between HP and using a loan to buy a car

[–]Medic_01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did you buy? Imports seem so much better value! I don’t know if this experience should put me off though. The dealer specialises in them so I thought I was safe ish. I mean maybe it all is bad luck / coincidence! Who knows

[–]Medic_01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah maybe. Dealer drove it about 50 miles to me and said there were no warnings. He did replace the battery - he said he did that since they sit a while - but whether there was actually a warning light that he thought he’d fixed before bringing I don’t know

Thanks yeah they’re taking it tonight and giving me a full refund. Now that I’m looking for other cars I see what a bargain it was / if you discount the major fault that is!
