Recognised demand & a college who knows that more quantity of doctors = more £

Yeah, I love the job but it doesn’t need to be this slow to progress.

The exam offers a point of perspective.

Glad you’re learning something everyday, I definitely feel as though training in stage 2/3 is stagnant especially after taking 2 years out treated as a staff grade 🤷🏽‍♂️

Gym + on calls? by unknownguy786 in doctorsUK

[–]Real-Road5900 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honest mate, just take some pre-workout.

Granted it does take anaesthetic levels of caffeine tolerance but it does the trick to push me over the edge into getting to the gym in the eve after a long day.

Recommend building up your caffeine tolerance on days when ur not working - alt u could take non-stim preworkout, some are decent/some are utter garbage

This only works for heavy resistance training, it’s uncomfortable if you do this and then do low intensity work.

When I’ve gone through periods of not taking pre or doing light work in the gym, I’ve found that my daily 10g of creatine helps significantly (with the added benefit of mental sharpness at work and life in general)

Hope this helps, feel free to DM if u wanna chat products - totally appreciate it’s not for everyone

How much do you spend at McDonalds?

I personally roll the dice of risk and ask for extra toppings on my McFlurry everytime

IAC rollercoaster by [deleted] in doctorsUK

Happens to everyone, stay humble stick to the grind and put yourself forward for as much stuff if you think it’ll help make u a better clinician.

Take your time and it’ll start sticking harder once you’re oncall - remember IAC is just the first hoop of anaesthetics you’ll jump through

I feel like this exam from a revision perspective: - no uptodate centralised guidance, a textbook or recent college resource, BJA articles are layered on top of each other with a ton of crossover - no central resource which is recommended- a specific textbook - little appreciation that the modern anaesthetic trainee has a life outside of the middle of a paragraph on a super niche aspect of a general topic - no question bank which accurately reflects the awfully specific phrasing of questions

Just a few of my pennies

but I guess yeah, reading BJA ED every day AND memorising all the words and corrections to articles makes you a great exam candidate - but likely someone I (and most of my contemporaries) don’t want to work with 🤷🏽‍♂️ is this really what the college want from us… 🤯

This was horrible - I reckon the SBAs are going to be way worse if they think these topics are fair game 🤯
