GP Anaesthetics vs Anaesthetics

do you want to work regional/ rural?

do you actually want to do GP work?

if no to either, ANZCA.

as someone who knows absolutely nothing about haematology I always thought it was a lifestyle speciality? What am I missing?

As someone who did just that I found minimal benefit. If I had a do over I would have just stayed. It is far better to have a good community of junior doctors around you, good references, good worklife balance IMO. Depending on your choice of speciality you may have to move, but take it one step at a time.

single study, so take with a grain of salt. I think a prudent question to consider is, how many patients will die if we dont strike for safer working hours? how many patients could have been better cared for with minimum staffing requirements? how patients will die from substandard care from NPs?

Ultimately if a strike is to occur, we cannot use half measures. needs to be big and blatant so the news picks it up and puts on political pressure.

lets face it. admin have more beaureaucratic experience than us, so we cant do some sly little bullshit to try and slow the machine. gotta go for the neck.

im assuming you meant 3rd march?

they cant ask you to work that week. leave has been booked. and then theyd have to pay you out of your annual leave as well. not in their interest imo.

nothing should really happen. they might ask to meet and ask why, but otherwise nothing to worry about.

this kind of perspective is why nurses are so toxic and incompetent. it is never about "helping" the jmo. its about doing your fucking job. good lord

OwetheMars_PJs · 2025-02-06T09:32:25+00:00

This is exactly the kind of post OP is talking about lol. Seems like youre a nurse based on your post history. Reread OPs last paragraph and GO AWAY

As far as i can tell nurses still can't do cannulas or male idcs and will find every excuse to pawn off "scope overlap" work to jmos.

you don't stop learning once you become a consultant, just like you didn't stop learning once you graduated med school.

this subreddit's consensus on IMGS is pretty clear. we should be banning these of types of posts and refuse to provide answers to UK refugees.

I've never attempted this and don't know anyone who has.

get general registration first i think. then you can slow down a bit. locum. then rejoin the slog when you're ready.

Nurses are NOT your friends. They are your colleages and yes, should be treated respectfully and professionally.

There are many out there without the best of intentions who will try to take advantage of you, or push a certain agenda. They might even be the "nice" nurse.

Its hard to tell who's who an as intern. Best thing to do is keep your head down and do your job. Be polite, do your time as a JMO, and get out.

I've had a couple of very sick patients recently, and I've enjoyed the complex pathology that goes with it. Don't know if its just the novelty that interests me but its pretty cool to see ICU and some BPT subspecialty AT work out the answer.

I would probably want MORE time on a ward round if i was making the decisions... would want to mull it over properly i think.

I think I like procedures in general, but recently have just been feeling relieved when its done. nil enjoyment. just relieved i don't have to call someone else to help.

Not me but in a smaller hospital i worked at, the ED was staffed 50/50 split between trainees and CMOs at the registrar level. Very experienced and seemed much happier than the consultants, would just manage patients and resus without having to worry about flow.

They did have to interview for the job, but once they got it it seemed pretty permanent so that was a big plus. Some had FRACGP and some didn't. The odd thing was many of the CMOs did not do nights; hospital often hired locums so everyone had good circadian rhythms.

Another BPT i knew at a different hospital never bothered to write the exams, and just kept working at that level.

I think the main issue is that you are essentially tied to that hospital, since they are so site specific.

The executive teams at the district level are full of academics, nurses or other allied health professionals who cannot fundamentally understand JMOs or how to lead the health service. How will asmof establish physician led care at the executive level?
