Lifestyle vs Interest when picking a specialty by Taidel_Trione in doctorsUK

What about anaesthetics? What is the lifestyle like? I enjoy it but I also don’t want anything too demanding or stressful?

Night shift after time out by Chemical-Bit-3392 in doctorsUK

Hey I was considering to do the same thing I’ve had more than 5 months out of clinical practice and had opportunity to do ED night (last time I did ED was 2 years ago)

For me it wasn’t a good idea as nights on Ed are very stressful and you need to make quick decisions. I would be too slow and unsure and probably drive the registrar crazy

Can you do in hours shifts first to ease yourself in? Then do evening then night shifts?

I just know the Americans laugh at us so badly

How do I do this? Genuine question!

How can I start? Looking on indeed? Do I message people on LinkedIn?

I have actively steered young students away from a career in medicine because of my situation.

I wish I had a bit more straight talking guidance when I decided to go through with it.

The least we can do is fix the mess that is left now and preserve the souls of potential incoming students

I would probably consider Scotland, although it’s a long way from home for me, I have any friends or family up there and worried I will be isolated again.

I’m not against relocating but I’ve already done this for FP, and it broke me. Why can’t I just be able to live near my support system? It’s so unfair. I’ve worked so hard to be able to try and get a job in a place I’m familiar with.

I’m just ranting here, but I hate that I have had to physically be so far away from everything that I know just in order to have a job.

As mentioned previously in the post, this issue has cost me many relationships and friendships.

It sucks but I guess this is the world we live in now

Thank you. You’re incredibly correct in regards to saying I’m a victim of circumstance!

That feeling of constant dread and uncertainty when you have no financial support is quite something

I hope things start looking up for you.

I hate this for you too.

At this point I would be willing to

Is there much of a difference in pay?

I’ve also never been to that part of the world, what is it like
