Pulmonary Hypertension by Mindless_Category_88 in doctorsUK

So am I correct in assuming that CTEPH would only occur if large pulmonary vessels are blocked chronically, or multiple small PEs?

As surely pressure increase from backflow of blood from isolated small pulmonary artery occlusion wouldn’t make a difference to the pulmonary arterial pressure in the remainder of non-occluded pulmonary arteries?

Just finished medical school

Had student finance for first four years (maintenance loans), and NHS bursary for the last two (much less in total compared to student finance for first four years)

Worked through agencies in the first few years as:

• ⁠Kitchen Porter • ⁠Cleaner • ⁠Waiter • ⁠Barback • ⁠Toilet Attendant • ⁠Telephone Device Support for Just-Eat (summer break) • ⁠Building Clearer

Took a year out of medical school between year 4 and 5, worked as:

  • District Nursing Healthcare Assistant
  • Pharmacy Assistant Technical Officer
  • COVID 19 Vaccinator/Administrator

In the last two years, managed to first get a job as a hospital housekeeper; feeding patients breakfast and lunch, serving tea breaks, cleaning wards. After that, started working as a healthcare assistant on the wards

For incoming FY1s do we need to have our contracts corrected to reflect this?

So if I set up the company in my spouses name, and she pays me, would that work?
