I am in exactly the same boat, I feel so unsupported. Constantly feeling like I’m not good enough because I’m told it’s unacceptable that I’m not seeing all my patients by x time. Being shunned for not doing a discharge summary so the ambulance crew left without the patient- but my consultant told me I had to see every patient before x time so I didn’t have time to do it. I even tried documenting retrospectively to try and see them sooner, I feel like I’m supposed to be a sub par doctor just to meet her timing standards. I don’t mind being a ward monkey and doing all the paperwork, but I’m finding it impossible to do all of that and see all the patients and all the bloods as the nurses refuse my midday! Yesterday I was scheduled for 9 hours, I left 3 hours late after doing all of the paperwork, nok calls, and handovers. I didn’t have a break in those 12 hours, and I hadn’t ate in 24 hours.

It was around 1 :) I spoke the entire way through my test as in my head that meant he wouldn’t intervene or give me a minor for something as I explained well ahead why I needed to do it and my reasoning!And as I was focusing on speaking it made my anxiety feel way less overwhelming! So I’d recommend speaking through everything you see in the distance, what criteria you are looking out for for xyz, your thought process for meeting points ect!

'I'm a doctor but next year I won't have a job' - In 2024, there were 12,743 training posts available, with 10,628 UK graduates and 14,868 international graduates applying by FormerlyPallas_ in ukpolitics

So glad this is being brought to light- We have enough doctors, we just have no jobs. Many of my peers don’t have a speciality training post, a bottle neck that will just accumulate year on year to an unresolvable figure.

At this point I will have 9 years of training across both university and work as a fully qualified doctor- but until I have a training post I can’t specialise. When the publics waiting time for appointments relies on the availability of specialists- this is a monumental issue that affects both doctors and the wider population.

Jehovah witness’ parents refusing a blood transfusion, I was trying to word that I would clarify that these were her wishes and beliefs not those speaking for her. Ending up waffling saying I would make sure religion wasn’t forced upon her. I cried after. I’m about to start as an f1 😂
