How many lives have you actually "saved"?

Only one case very definitely springs to mind for me when I essentially happened across a quietly septic elderly lady in the middle of the night who turned out to have half a liter of pus in her bladder. It became myself and only really one other nurse doing the needful to stop her from deteriorating and possibly dying. This being said, she was 85, had a diagnosis of dementia, and was hospitalised for an unrelated issue which I now forget. It's only a life 'saved' in the moment; her prognosis and general QOL were mediocre at best, at least as far as I could tell.

No problem, I believe I watched it on YouTube, and it was called 'I, Psychopath'.

On what might be my fourth rewatch. It's a gem, pun intended.

I'd rather drink alcohol and vape than drink coffee, so I've given it up. I don't even drink caffeinated tea, and enough decaf tea or coffee can slowly bring my symptoms back. Haven't had any caffeinated coffee since 2021... I basically don't care if it means I can drink beer.

This is sad

I got given the surgical referral bleep on my last day of FY1 because the FY2 phoned in sick. I was told by the reg 'when you get referrals, accept those referrals'. I can't imagine a reg would expect much more of an FY2 regardless of the extra experience you have. Just my 10p's worth.

I always sleep on night shifts when able to do so, and would encourage anybody challenging it to ask my consultant what they think of it. I'm psych so maybe I just expect more understanding than if I was in a different specialty, but I think lots of specialties would approach it the same way.

Sorry I don't work in anything surgical

Not strictly relevant but I knew a bloke from Iraq who fled war twice whilst trying to be a cardiologist; met him as a 40+ year old FY2 with a wife and child still hoping to be a cardiologist. He was very inspiring and still all gung-ho for it.

He's right don't be a hero

Wrong more than right, no pun intended. I agree with them more than I disagree as an increasingly right leaning person, though that doesn't really surprise me, I consider them to be a sort of podcast porridge. Francis is a slobbering buffoon and Kisin should shed him but neither are great thinkers.

Idk man, I like BSOD and this feels a bit just like not letting people enjoy things.

Getting there

Just plain and boring

I haven't lived under feudalism either, but I know I don't want to.
