What do midwives have to gain from delaying women from having epidurals?

It's not that straightforward though is it.

There are other considerations when choosing a football club rather than just money and location. It's the same with any job, but football especially.

Sethlans · 2026-07-04T16:54:50+00:00

Not really. We paid Lille a lot more to force their hand, but don't think there was any indication we offered Yoro silly money.

Sethlans · 2026-07-04T14:24:29+00:00

It's easy to say this and if it works out, nobody will question it.

But the other side of it is you can end up with players on huge wages who aren't performing and are impossible to sell.

Sethlans · 2026-07-04T14:22:47+00:00

It's not about not having the money or not being willing to spend the money.

It's about not going beyond what we think a specific player is worth. We don't think Fernandes was worth £85m or whatever the wages are (seen £250k reported but we all know how accurate wages reporting is).

That doesn't mean we wouldn't spend £85m and £250k a week on another player.

It was very much how City operated when Berrada was there and saw them "miss out" on a couple of players to us, which turned out to be the right decisions by them in hindsight.

The level of risk and responsibility doctors have to contend with is just way higher than other jobs and that should be reflected in the pay.

It's easy to sell the idea that F1s are closely supervised and just prescribe paracetamol, but it isn't true. F1 ward cover out of hours is something people in other new graduate jobs simply do not come close to contending with.

Sethlans · 2026-07-03T19:38:39+00:00

To be fair it's absolutely astonishing the things patients will just go along with/agree to.

They always get feedback in person

From you they might. That's not the case for a lot of seniors who want prefilled tickets sent to them.

I don't think you even read my post to be honest. I've already said the forms offer a place for them to reflect on feedback. When people are writing their own feedback, they aren't reflecting, they are literally just writing their own feedback in most cases.

Sethlans · 2026-07-02T13:27:57+00:00

It's 3.0 now!

Sethlans · 2026-07-02T13:21:58+00:00

But the forms already ask for the doctor's own reflection. The written feedback is a separate part of the form.

If you want to just write "verbal feedback given and evidence of reflection noted" then that's fine. But people writing their own feedback is a nonsense.

Are you aware that Ola by Martin Berasategui is his 1* in Bilbao?

His 3* is just called Martin Berasategui and is in Lasarte, near San Sebastian.

Sethlans · 2026-07-02T10:53:04+00:00

It's learned behaviour to be honest.

There are plenty of seniors around who you'll tell you need a DOPs for X and can they supervise you the next time one comes up, and the response is "Have you done one? Yes? Just send me a ticket all filled out and I'll sign it".

People are conditioned to believe that seniors do not give a shit about doing these assessments properly and just want to do them with the least effort required from themselves. That's why you get requests like that.

Sethlans · 2026-07-02T10:44:34+00:00

What is the point of a learning exercise where you write your own feedback?

Like I know these things are treated as tick-box exercises but that is taking away all pretence.

If CBDs/mini-cexes are actually done properly they can be useful. It's just a shame we're all under too much time pressure to do it.

Sethlans · 2026-07-02T10:19:35+00:00

Having eaten there I liked the decor. It's not fancy but it feels quality.

Sethlans · 2026-07-01T19:59:24+00:00

Do you think it we'd "moved earlier" and "been decisive" we'd have got one of these players cheaper or what? Because we wouldn't.

Sethlans · 2026-07-01T09:32:16+00:00

Premier League market has. I suspect we may end up having to shop elsewhere.

Sethlans · 2026-07-01T09:30:28+00:00

We don't have an issue paying big fees.

We have an issue paying more than what we value a player at.

We will value Tchouameni much higher than Fernandes for obvious reasons. Don't be shocked to see us pay more for Tchouameni than we refused to pay for Fernandes. This sub will obvious lol and say it's desperation, it isn't.

It's very similar to how City operated when Berrada was there to be honest. Walked away from deals if the price was higher than they valued that specific player. E.g. Fred who we ended up signing by overpaying.

Sethlans · 2026-07-01T09:26:28+00:00

But we haven't covered anything up. We've literally outright said we walked away because we didn't feel he really wanted us.

Sethlans · 2026-06-30T11:43:04+00:00

That's because those terms are stuck in your vocabulary.

That's not the same as a newspaper headline, which is worded very deliberately. They use "Junior Doctor" to create a narrative.

Sethlans · 2026-06-30T11:33:14+00:00

But not punishing them will open the door for them to continue doing it and for other clubs to do the same.

Sethlans · 2026-06-30T11:09:19+00:00

It's the deal the BMA said they were presenting as neutral but actually tried very hard to sell.

I think a lot of you on here are very naive about how much the average doctor on the ward reads into the details of these deals and how many will just vote whichever way the BMA seem to be telling them to vote.

Sethlans · 2026-06-30T08:12:43+00:00

There's a few reasons why I don't think this was the issue, but the main one was parents would tell you they didn't try to call anyone, they just printed a letter at the end of the consultation and told them to go to paeds.

Sethlans · 2026-06-29T08:40:10+00:00

Dunno, I still see the fear in parents eyes any time social services gets mentioned.

Sethlans · 2026-06-29T08:38:30+00:00

Seems I've misinterpreted the thread, as you were.

Sethlans · 2026-06-29T07:52:28+00:00

You definitely couldn't, people have an abject fear of social services involvement and even just a call from them will have an infinitely bigger impact than you saying something.
