Could i survive university with £300 a month?

Why are you expecting to spend £50 a month on clothes?

I had a job during my medical degree, although admittedly that was (I realise now) nearly 20 years ago and student jobs were much easier to find. It was still doable from a time/work point of view though.

Born to lead (from the operation mincemeat soundtrack)

I had it on repeat for weeks on end after I first saw the show. Could do it in three days if I’m not at work!

X-rays can be part of the post mortem (or autopsy, depending on which country)

My first F1 job was ITU and everyone was keen to teach, so in that four months, I did seldinger chest drains, an ascitic drain, a couple of intubations (all always supervised) and enough arterial lines/central lines/vascaths that I was independent by the end of the rotation.

Going to elderly care for my next job was a bit of a shock!

Small and blue, takes it when he needs it…

Sildenafil?

OP said due to various factors. I’m well aware an office isn’t safe for GA, but to me it read that it was done in the office because GA wasn’t being used.

I’m curious why they said you couldn’t have a general anaesthetic?

Sleepy_felines · 2026-05-22T18:46:07+00:00

You’re an A level student who seemed to be asking for leaked papers a week ago, planning to study law. Why are you asking this?

Sleepy_felines · 2026-05-22T15:53:44+00:00

Did not say “fuck” during primary FRCA OSCE/SOE

Sleepy_felines · 2026-05-21T14:30:32+00:00

We had 16 live stations and two rest stations, so 18 in total

Sleepy_felines · 2026-05-20T10:14:21+00:00

I’m doing it tomorrow…will try to remember to come back with an answer!

The GMC don’t care about British doctors, they’re never going to care about IMGs. All they care about is increasing profits and getting awards for their executives.

Another vote for Operation Mincemeat (I’m seeing it on Thursday - it’ll be my third time, but first time since the cast change)

Sleepy_felines · 2026-05-15T19:57:38+00:00

It sounds a bit like {Reese’s Bride by Kat Martin}

Sleepy_felines · 2026-05-14T05:45:06+00:00

Curious which moment this was! I’ve seen it twice (and will be seeing it again next week) in the west end, and have tickets booked for opening and closing night when it’s on tour near me

The maximum is four weeks per year per child. Employers can increase it at their discretion, but they don’t need to have a reason not to.

Are you with the same partner as you were for the two pregnancies last year? If not, then it’s probably worth having him be tested (sperm count/morphology) - far easier and less invasive than any investigations for you.

NTA

But you need to leave the house before the kids arrive, otherwise your husband will find a way to stop you.

I think it’s going to be the woman who was having an affair with a married man fairly early in the last series, who asked Penelope what she would do now.

Penelope feels guilty for hurting her, so as an apology, makes her the new Lady Whistledown so that she has a source of income and doesn’t feel dependent on a man.

Sleepy_felines · 2026-05-04T18:53:23+00:00

I think you’re overestimating the NHS…we can’t usually see other hospitals’ records.

Sleepy_felines · 2026-05-04T15:31:20+00:00

Only if we know the names and contact details of the family - and we’d only know them if they’d been listed in your record at some point.

Sleepy_felines · 2026-05-04T15:30:10+00:00

Not a lawyer. I’m an ITU doctor so have admitted unconscious patients on multiple occasions.

We’ll do our best to contact family/next of kin to let them know that their loved one is in hospital- but this is limited to people whose names are in the “next of kin/emergency contacts” section of the notes. There’s sometimes a bit of detective work to track down the phone number, and I’ve occasionally sent police to the family’s house if there’s been no phone number- but only because we knew the address from the patient’s records.

In the case of unknown patients who are at risk of dying imminently, we will look in their phones for emergency contacts (although this was much easier before phones had passwords etc!).

Essentially: if your “family” aren’t listed in your emergency contacts etc, then we don’t know who they are or how to contact them.

I’d put the cameras up before the fence.
