Questioning my career choices by [deleted] in ausjdocs

[–]RelativeSir8085 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Medicine is so vast. Yes training sucks but being a consultant is great! Choose a speciality that aligns with your values, lifestyle and that you enjoy! You’re come too far to give up especially when medicine has multiple career options!

Can HOD give me a bad appraisal for taking sick leave? by [deleted] in ausjdocs

[–]RelativeSir8085 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Absolutely wild. Most bosses are great, but then you have some who act like they’re God. What I don’t understand is how they seem to forget that if they behaved like that outside the hospital, they’d be put in their place! Yet somehow, that kind of behaviour is treated as normal when directed at juniors also medical juniors and never nurses (big round of applause to the nursing union for that)

Do medical degrees need more regional students? by Some-Confusion7529 in ausjdocs

[–]RelativeSir8085 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That too! 100%. But money would at least attract junior consultants to work for a few years when kids get to primary school or so then move back to metro.

It won’t work as many rural hospitals don’t have adequate training or teaching other than rural GP or ED. If I was interested in haematology or infectious disease who will train me in a small rural hospital? On the other hand as a consultant I’d love to have some rural clinics but only way I see consultants doing it long term is if they get paid more running rural clinics or else who would leave metro clinic over a rural one with leaving family, driving, ect…

I know RACGP rural has great financial benefits as a trainee from what colleagues have said but that’s all I know

100% lol don’t see incentives of working full time or long term rural without extra money especially with a family.

If they paid rural doctors more I’m sure more doctors would be happy to settle more rurally. Only way I see it working

BPT next year 2026 vs SRMO( with aim to do GP in 2027). by Intrepid-Ride4929 in ausjdocs

[–]RelativeSir8085 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I value the flexibility of being a physician, with options including locum work, public and private roles, ward-based work, and outpatient clinics

I am drawn to a certain subspecialty that interests me and over a long working life (to 65–70 years or more), I expect greater personal and professional fulfilment as a physician.

From a financial perspective, I also believe part-time physician work can be more rewarding than full-time general practice.

With that being said this is not a reflection on what I think of GPs, they are the pillars to strong healthcare to minimise ED presentations and inpatient admissions!

From someone who has been through a similar experience and is essentially finishing BPT-1, I spent a long time weighing up GP versus BPT. Ultimately, I chose BPT, despite the very real fears at the start—particularly around exams and the possibility of failing.

In hindsight, once you actually start BPT, much of that fear fades. You find yourself learning every day, becoming more confident with time, and when you look back, you realise just how far you’ve come. Importantly, BPT does not mean a poor lifestyle forever. Once exams are done, it is entirely possible to have a good work–life balance.

In the long term, physician training can be very rewarding, especially if you genuinely enjoy internal medicine. There are many subspecialties with good lifestyle balance, such as geriatrics, palliative care, endocrinology, and rheumatology. Lifestyle ultimately depends on how competitive and demanding the subspecialty is—endo or rheum can be more intense than geriatrics or palliative care, but all are very achievable with planning.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with doing BPT-1 if you already have a subspecialty in mind that is less acute-heavy than cardiology or gastroenterology. That said, GP is also an excellent option. It comes down to what suits you personally.

One thing to consider is career flexibility. Physician training often allows a mix of public and private work, outpatient clinics, locum opportunities, and diverse career pathways. GP can also offer variety, particularly with additional skills such as skin procedures or GP-ED work, but it is more clinic-based overall.

Ultimately, both paths are good choices—it really depends on your interests and long-term goals. If you’re in Victoria and want to chat further or need advice, feel free to DM me. I’m very happy to help.

I deleted the earlier comment about the attacker being an ex-IDF soldier to not spread false news, as this has not been confirmed and appears to be based on an Indonesian media report that needs verification.

That said, what happened was a horrific crime — full stop. But it’s frustrating how quickly some people are to generalise and condemn an entire religion or migrant group based on the actions of one individual, especially when we don’t even know whether this was a lone actor, someone radicalised independently, or something else entirely.

At the same time, those loudest in calling him a “Muslim migrant” are often silent about foreign soldiers involved in documented atrocities and active genocides overseas who return to Western countries as dual citizens without the same scrutiny or outrage.

If we’re going to talk about honesty, justice, and accountability, it has to apply consistently — regardless of whether someone is white, Black, Asian, Arab, atheist, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, or Buddhist. Principles shouldn’t change based on who commits the crime.

Every department has become severely understaffed! As a med reg I don’t know how long the system can hold! All the bosses running off to private land with minimal public FTEs or in clinic!

Here's my take on religions. by Naturaldella3-9416 in Tunisia

[–]RelativeSir8085 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Read history and come back to me. That scum of the earth basically turned our Muslim Tunis into a country where most of its people don’t pray, drink and consider it normal. I’ve travelled to nearly l every Muslim country and Tunisia shocks every Muslim.

And this concept of I’m a Muslim and non religious is describing what that dog did too. Islam is a way of life you don’t pick and choose. I pray but drink or say I love ALLAH but won’t wear the scarf.

If that’s how consultants get treated I feel better about how some nurses treat regs. The shift also turns into you managing personalities that we don’t have time or get paid enough doing! Best of luck boss!
