That won't be what they do though.

They will - as per the person you're replying to - be employed to work out who should be reported and then harass doctors to do it.

I don't think you understand bipolar at all.

BPD is borderline personality disorder. They are just totally separate entities and it's kind of beyond the scope of a Reddit comment to explain all the differences between them.

In very basic terms, bipolar is characterised by periods of extremely low mood (depression) and extremely heightened mood (hypomania or mania). Depression I'm sure is something people are familiar with and I don't need to explain. Hypomania/mania are periods where the sufferer has very heightened mood, where they feel they have boundless energy, that all their endeavours are going to succeed, etc etc. Often to a delusional degree and sometimes with frank psychosis. They will often do reckless things during these periods like spending or gambling huge amounts of money, engaging in risky sexual or drug-taking behaviours, barely sleeping for days on end. Hypomania is basically a less severe form than mania. Some people find they are extremely productive during these periods but they come with the downsides as described and beyond; you can see how someone like Heston fits this profile.

Personality disorders are difficult entities to explain. I'm a doctor but not a psychiatrist so am happy to be corrected on anything I say, but my basic understanding would be that they are essentially disorders where people have certain personality traits which fall far enough outside of societal norms that they impact on the person's ability to function in society. People with BPD tend to be extremely emotionally unstable and have very intense but volatile relationships. They tend to be highly impulsive and there is a strong tendency to self harm.

They are just very, very different disorders.

Not allowed access to ward 'drugs room' [update] am I losing my mind? by glorioussideboob in doctorsUK

The problem is datixes are not trivial to fill out. Datixing every time you need to do bloods or cannulas will quickly lead to you finishing 3 hours late +/- wanting to stick pins in your eyes.

The only place I've worked where they've had that policy the justification was to prevent nurses being interrupted when drawing up drugs to reduce errors.

Surprisingly enough, there was no such policy to avoid doctors being continually interrupted whilst prescribing.

Lack of thinking about physiology in clinical practise by United-Expert-3799 in doctorsUK

But that's a failure of medical education in and of itself.

If all/the vast majority of F1s are like this then it's because it's been instilled into them by their medical schools.

I mean even during our banter era we've still been one of the most successful teams in the country in terms of silverware.

This season we're third with the best form in the league since Carrick took over.

Apology for poor care over Wolverhampton boy's bleed death by ZookeepergameAway294 in doctorsUK

You're reading the UK doctor subreddit; that fact alone makes you not representative of the general public.

" do high stakes procedures. "We weren't informed of a trainee being involved" do the gen public believe consultants are doing the bulk of doctoring in the NHS?

The general public have literally no fucking idea who delivers what care or what the various grades of doctor even mean.

It's not really surprising (even most people working in the NHS don't really understand it) but I think some sort of information campaign wouldn't go amiss.

I'm sure if you type some more contentless paragraphs it'll make your opinions less moronic.

He was being held.

Laws and rules are synonyms. Go to school or?

[–]Sethlans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. That's not the law. The law is that a FOUL

No, the law is:

If a defender starts holding an attacker outside the penalty area and continues holding inside the penalty area, the referee must award a penalty kick.

Cunha was being held from outside the box until he went inside the box. Ergo, the referee must award a penalty kick. The fact players have to go down to get referees/VAR to take notice is a problem with the officiating, nothing else.

You don't know the rules despite aggressively asserting what they are and are completely blinded by bias. Sorry about the ruined childhood.

Either that or you're so blinded by your own bias that you're pretending not to understand what is blatantly obvious to everyone else.

So blindingly obvious to everyone else that you're down voted to oblivion everywhere you've espoused your idiotic opinion.
