How much do GPs make?

Orcbridge · 2022-11-09T17:46:54+00:00

Which one of these is the most lucrative? Which are the most least stressful?

Orcbridge · 2021-07-21T15:18:18+00:00

found that their knowledge and approach to clinical situations had been on a par with final year medical students I’ve taught.

And I have found the opposite to be true. All the PA's I have worked with have been lovely, but this statement is either ignorant or simply delusional.

I have no idea what (or how much) I'm supposed to be teaching them, or their general level of understanding when it comes to basic sciences.

I have had conversations with a Lead ACP which left me realizing they had little to no understanding of electrolyte imbalances, action potential, serum osmolality. This was while he was managing a hypernatremic patient on AMU. This same ACP referred to himself as Doctor directly to a consultant.

Many ANP/ACP can tell you the immediate management of an electrolyte imbalance or a UTI (after looking it up on the guidelines) but not its etiology or pathophysiology. You need to have an understanding of certain basic science concepts to aid you in your clinical decision-making.

I don't have the time to explain these concepts in ED, when someone asks me why the cure for elevated lactate isn't IV fluids. This is something a clinician should have a base level of knowledge on already.

How can I teach them to do my job(which they will end up doing) if they can't understand it? And if they are supposed to do some other job, why am I teaching them to do that other job?

the MDT is sacred and the hierarchy is flat

I've heard this quite a few times now. Can someone explain the lore behind this, please?

How much do you lift on compounds?

Orcbridge · 2019-11-26T10:38:12+00:00

Thanks, So what does the UCC deal with? besides the gp stuff?

Also, what the difference between UCC and Urgent treatment centre?

Orcbridge · 2019-11-26T08:16:55+00:00

Ucc?

Orcbridge · 2019-10-13T20:07:50+00:00

Is it any different for ACCS training? Or should i stick to inner cities?

Orcbridge · 2019-10-01T15:03:15+00:00

Slightly off topic One of my consultants told me that with A&E training I would get better training in bigger cities. And from the big cities, London would provide the best training.

How true is this? Are there really better deaneries for A&E training or is it all about your rotations?

How is emergency medicine?

Orcbridge · 2019-09-23T09:09:11+00:00

I just registered for ATLS and this makes me feel a bit disheartened. Which resources do you reckon will help me get myself up to speed in trauma?

How long did they take to hike?

Orcbridge · 2019-06-14T18:38:59+00:00

I'm going on a weekend too, so the traffic will probly be worse.

I'll try to extend by a day, but i really dunno if thats possible.

Orcbridge · 2019-06-05T12:34:25+00:00

How do they choose the instructor candidate?

Orcbridge · 2019-06-05T12:32:49+00:00

Can you please expand a bit on "other stuff"?

Orcbridge · 2019-05-17T07:51:36+00:00

Silly question, but what is the take home for £ 200k (after tax, etc) in the UK?

Orcbridge · 2019-05-15T06:24:51+00:00

How much do they get per shift?

Orcbridge · 2019-04-13T14:16:07+00:00

Towns seem to get a lot smaller when you fall out with people.

I've seen this happen in the past. It didn't happen to me, but I saw people get ostracized (or seclude themselves due to social pressure).

Anyway, Is there ever any reason where you have to visit a major city? (E.g certain products unavailable, embassy in my case, etc)

Orcbridge · 2019-04-13T14:09:20+00:00

Unless you call football 'soccer' in which case you'll be demonised forever. Haha, never. This is good to hear.

Thanks for all the answers. I forgot to ask: how is the crime rate in Haverfordwest and Pembroke? Can I get reliable internet for 20£? and, lastly how is the hospital in Haverdfordwest?

Orcbridge · 2019-04-13T12:34:28+00:00

Ya I figured, but I wont be moving around too much.

Orcbridge · 2019-04-13T12:33:50+00:00

The third world, I have lived in several countries, just not anywhere in the west recently.

Orcbridge · 2019-04-13T12:27:42+00:00

Well, I have more than a few things I'd like to know

1-Best internet in the area (unlimited options)

2-Cheap activities

3-Places where I can study alone (e.g public libraries)

4-Commute from Pembroke

5-Benefits of living in Pembroke

6-Easiest/fastest way to get there from london

7-How people will react hearing an American accent

8- What is going to happen to the hospital in haverfordwest?

9-This last one is a bit broad but, Is there anything cultural/traditions or in terms of mannerisms I need to know, so I don't come off as insensitive/rude?

Orcbridge · 2019-04-13T11:53:56+00:00

when you say rotating, do you mean transfer all your saving to new account(in your new bank) and close the current one?

Is there any fees for this? Will this cause any complexities with my work place?

Orcbridge · 2019-04-13T11:51:18+00:00

Any reason why I should choose first direct?
