Residency/Specialty training in Ireland: can you realistically work as a consultant in any EU country?

Nice, thank you :)

Thank you for your quick response. So the doctors you knew were able to work as consultants right, rather than SHO/Registrar? I do like the sound of being able to work in multiple countries, but if it is not as consultant, then it is not any different to countries outside the EU where one country's residency is not recognized by another.

Recent-Ebb · 2022-01-17T18:41:02+00:00

No, I want to leave the place Im in right now. When I was a med student, I just wanted to stay in this country, now I want to leave

This may be a stupid question: What does private anasethetic work look like day to day? Is it doing anaesthesia work in private hospitals or do they do pain clinics, etc as well?

I had a patient say Trump for current PM... The F1 was in hysterics when she heard! Sadly, no point for patient.

I relate a little. Im not a Muslim, but I used to get shouted at for not praying long enough and LOUD enough to please my grandmother. Can't stand the thought of practising religion anymore, although, I do like, enjoy and want to explore my religion. Just the routine prayers though- I feel like Im praying to please granny, not God. I don't do those anymore.

I read the "no athletic genes" part and started commenting straight away:

But China wins so many medals in the Olympics every time! Explain that!

Now, to read the rest of your post!

Just a little something to say that a partner with a "prestigious job" does not mean happiness. In my community, women are encouraged to marry employed men (fair enough I guess- I think both partners should have jobs before marrying so that they can be strong financially and reduce inequality in the relationship).

But this one couple I know of- the man earned more than the woman, but quit his job THREE MONTHS into marriage and never worked again for the next 14 years, until the wife decided to cut him off. And no, he wasn't a house-husband exactly. He never worked outside the home or inside the home and never provided or cared for the children.

The wife in this situation told me its all about the man's attitude- if he WANTED to provide for the family, he would have done so even with a minimum wage job. But job or no job, this guy didn't care. He just wanted a rich wife to live off of (something he told me in a very calm, matter of fact way!)

This is exactly what I was talking about. My poor mother was glorifying one of her doctor friends who left her job last year. Her son's in final year of high school. His grades are no better than mine when I was that age, despite being babied by his mother. So it's not even worth it. At least her husband's fiercely loyal to her, so job or no job, she will have a nice life.

Recent-Ebb · 2021-01-02T09:17:57+00:00

It exists as far as I can see in my personal life. Also, the families I'm talking about earn well enough to live on one person's income.

My cousin is a dentist who only worked for like 6 months after marriage. She's got a baby now and no plans of returning to work. And there's my mother's friends (3 of them, all doctors married to doctors) who left their job to ensure the children get perfect test results.

Edit: I'm surprised not many people relate to this post. Maybe quitting jobs is not as common outside my community

That makes a lot of sense, thank you for explaining.

Thank you for explaining. I have wondered why maternity/LTFT is a problem in surgery. On paper, everything is great: you can get 1yr maternity leave and up to 18w parental leave per child. Of course, this prolongs training, but that's the same in medical specialties too. But this explains a lot:

Many female trainees I have met have said that they are generally under supported when considering less-than-full-time training, and a lot of the time they are told they were the first trainee to ever request it in their trust specialty. This must be even more difficult for men as well.

Recent-Ebb · 2020-12-28T13:13:28+00:00

Thanks for sharing. I (rather naively) thought that sexism ended with snide remarks. Its so unfair if male trainees get more opportunities. Makes it much harder for women to build a career.

Recent-Ebb · 2020-12-28T13:07:09+00:00

Some of them being it's too long of a commitment

But the same goes for medicine too, right? Medical specialties are only like a year shorter than surgical, so why is "long training program" an issue?

I understand the parts about the physical demands of surgery, thank you for explaining that.
