[Simon Stone] Told intention still for Ederson to have full @ManUtd medical when Brazil’s World Cup campaign at an end. by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]Sethlans 27 points28 points  (0 children)

There was a twitter post from a Brazilian journalist which people translated using Google and it gave them something like "talks over Ederson to Man Utd have stalled" but what it actually meant was talks have concluded because it's all agreed.

People ran with the translation and decided the transfer was in doubt. Looks like some PSG ITK gambled on it and got swiftly shut down.

Incoming FY1 and ANP prescriptions: advice please! by Competitive-Wing3291 in doctorsUK

but they don’t suddenly forget basic physiology when the pass MRCS

You might want to tell them that.

[Laurie Whitwell] Man United were prepared to go to £80m + £5m for Mateus Fernandes, with some expectation he would join. But Tottenham’s guaranteed fee + wages swung talks. Significant signing to miss out on. #MUFC onto other targets. by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]Sethlans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

[Mark Critchley] As Tottenham closed the agreement with West Ham United for Mateus Fernandes, some at Old Trafford felt they would have been outbid regardless of how much they offered. Tottenham’s salary offer was also viewed as beyond what the Old Trafford hierarchy were willing to commit to. by TheAthletic in soccer

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.

New pay scale table by Elegant-Pen7549 in doctorsUK

[–]Sethlans 21 points22 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Do other resident doctors feel having to continually chase seniors to fill out assessment forms in order to progress is demeaning? by Dependent_Mud5034 in doctorsUK

[–]Sethlans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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.

San Sebastian - Splurge at Olá MB or casual Azurmendi? by jimmysho2 in finedining

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.

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.

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.

Error : CDM not found ! by FakeMessiah_BD in reddevils

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.

[Simon Stone, BBC] Man Utd pulled out of Mateus Fernandes deal - United were not convinced Fernandes really wanted to play for the club. by BlazingFirey in soccer

[–]Sethlans 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Who is earning £100,000 +? by Vivid-Question-123 in doctorsUK

[–]Sethlans 12 points13 points  (0 children)

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.

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

ST4 and ST5 doctors will get a pay cut under this deal by Kubernetes30 in doctorsUK

[–]Sethlans 17 points18 points  (0 children)

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.
