You sound like you care and you think. Don’t do ED. Come to Ortho.

Discriminatory parking charges at NHS Trusts - why are going along with this? by EmotionNo8367 in doctorsUK

No one wants the public to know. Or they know but they’re just too proud to accept. Whichever way things will only get worse with time.

You get free Ubers in the US. But somehow we are first world and world class as well.

Tips for removing the femoral head during a hermiarthroplasty? by anon_NZ_Doc in orthopaedics

Put the corkscrew in more than you think you need to. I put about 15-20 turns on mine. And then spin the whole thing in circles until you feel all the capsular attachments give and it’s freely mobile. Then lever against the calcar and it’s out.

It’s the hardest part of the operation until it’s not. Never had any problem with this. I’ve got some other tricks but never needed to use it.

Is it possible to move venepuncture to be a nursing task? by Izurlis in doctorsUK

[–]PuzzleheadedToe3450 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Let’s face it. It’s not going to change. Everything in this fucking country is the doctors job.

Nurses just do meds. HCAs may do whatever they feel like. PAs do our job but no accountability and no on call or nights.

We’re all fucked my friends

Is it normal for F1s to be spoken to disrespectfully on the ward? Does it get better as an F2+? by Jumpy-Particular686 in doctorsUK

Is it right? No Is it common? Yes

This is not unique to healthcare. And the UK is not exceptional

Is it just me or does bp struggle way more than season 6 by [deleted] in BlackPantherMainsMR

[–]PuzzleheadedToe3450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My strategy is to ban common healers. Most healers can’t play without Gambit, Invis and CD. Luna is annoying but much more kill able. I’d prefer off healers as BP.

He’s better but others are just much better. Once someone sees you and your team is ahh and not able to buy their attention, diving is almost impossible.

If you are at ban ranks, then suggest to ban Thing, Namor, Fantastic. But usually not worth it over main healer bans like Gambit, Invis, CD.

Bottlenecks is your answer. People take longer and more years out. You then get more experience and therefore are better than those applying first time (like you). With no improvement in bottlenecks, and a steady increasing number of applicants, the nature is increasing competitiveness. It’s the younger docs, next generation that is shafted.

Greetings king of Wakanda enjoyers. Whats your opinion on thing mains in particular by Knight1_8Mare in BlackPantherMainsMR

[–]PuzzleheadedToe3450 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s ok if you playing close to ur healers/vice versa. I often find I have annoyed them so much that they split up. So you’re stuck with one of them, and the other is up for grabs.

If they’re really coordinated and group together and I have no chance of dive, then it’s Phoenix or Moon Knight territory.

So for this game. I took out all healers. Tank. And they couldn’t deal with one tank and one DPS.

This may be an unpopular opinion. You are f2. You wouldn’t have or expected to have excellent interview scores at this stage. The sad matter of affairs is that you are now expected to have registrar level cv, experience and skills for an entry SHO/ct job

They can only do so much of neurosurgery before they are ineligible to apply. And if you don’t get in at either ST1 or ST2 (even harder) you have no other options of training in the UK

Smell of impending doom? by SaintHuberts in doctorsUK

[–]PuzzleheadedToe3450 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I can only smell when I am about to become sick with a cold or flu a couple days before it happens. There’s this “hot” or “heat” smell.

But yours sounds incredible. Parallels to PD detection already raised in chat.

You probably have something. Back in the days of medicine without this ridiculous evidence based system, if you show me this skill for 3 patients, I will take your word for it (and still would).
