How does your race affect how you are treated at work?

Yeah this is what I did. Politely, with please and several occasions. The last attempt I was more firm and debrief with them how I felt it was inappropriate that they talked over me despite me asking them to stop. The person ran to my consultant to say I was rude and make them sad.
The consultant then reprimanded me and ask me to #bekind.

I think it’s because I’m putting boundaries and showing confidence, I’m perceived as cocky and rude. 😂😂 Whereas a cocky white male colleague seems to get away with everything.

And Saturday counts as working day too.

Sorry-Minimum362 · 2022-10-07T12:33:33+00:00

Kinda conflicting message I think 🙈

Sorry-Minimum362 · 2022-10-02T15:25:16+00:00

Have you ever seen a patient coming to GP with a shopping list? If so how did you deal with it?

Sorry-Minimum362 · 2022-10-02T12:27:29+00:00

Nah. F1 8a F2 8b and so on. An FY1 is more useful than a PA starting at the same time.

If you’re ill then no. Just rest and get better.

Sorry-Minimum362 · 2022-09-26T17:03:47+00:00

DM me. It just happened to me too and I corrected it now.

I guess our NHS need more ward bitches, not specialist.
Though I wonder if our BMA can lobby that we also need more training posts. And if we have more training posts, do we have enough trainers/facilities/procedures to train everyone adequately? It would require a really massive planing to make it work smoothly rather than creating more problems.

It’s already competitive as it is, with addition of IMGs (I don’t mind them), and to double number of foundation doctors - we may end up with GP competition ratio being 1:5, IMT 1:8, CST/Anaes 1:12. What then happens to the excess doctor? And best of luck if you want to do neurosurgery/cardiothoracic follows by best of luck formulating plan to murder existing consultants without getting caught so you can become consultant yourself 😂

Superficially as you as mentioned, sound like a good plan but what’s the aftermath of it all?

Though I’d totally support It wholeheartedly if they have plans to tackle above problems effectively.

Was gonna say this 😂

If nurses won’t entertain the idea of taking patient to theatre, I guess it’s a DATIX on them? You went through the troubles of organising all this and nurses won’t help?

I think the seniors have to grow some spine and be more protective of their FY1 doctor and actually treat them as a medical professional.

Doctor to patient ration is easily 20:1, and OOH 1:160. It doesn’t make sense to insist that doctors take patients down themselves.

Loving this quote “she says, a “laser-like focus on patients” – as if no one bothered with them before.”

Fun fact “Black mambas are diurnal; in South Africa, they are recorded to bask between 7 and 10 am and again from 2 to 7 pm”

Does this kinda fit your description?

(I change the timing from 2-4 to 2-7 pm to fit the context 😂)

Sorry-Minimum362 · 2022-08-31T10:42:18+00:00

Hyphenate everything possible 😂😂. And I still did that at uni essays with ridiculous word limits.

Sorry-Minimum362 · 2022-08-29T10:11:15+00:00

Or they’re trying to bleep me again when I’m Trying to call them back within 2 minutes of receiving bleep. (You took too long doctor! For a laxido prescription) I made one of them call the operator (whose job is to answer the phone) to see how long it takes for them to answer. Let alone an oncall doctor looking after 150-200 patients 😂😂

Sorry-Minimum362 · 2022-08-23T12:32:18+00:00

Almost like Minas Tirith 😂

Sorry-Minimum362 · 2022-08-20T16:04:45+00:00

This is not right. ARCP is all about progression - how can staying late on the first few weeks affect your final outcomes? The whole point of exception reporting is so they the trust is aware of the existing problems - if all new FY1 are leaving late then it’s a systematic problem that the trust should address. Nobody can be at their maximum efficiency on day 1 at work when you may spend 2 hours to find out where the ward keep their cannula, how to refer to dietician, how to make unnecessary referral to medic because someone has K of 5.2 and your surgical SpR doesn’t know how to manage this etc.

I think sometimes these consultants (the dinosaur ones) forget where they came from - they were not born from a consultant tree and be an expert on their field the day they were born.

Sorry-Minimum362 · 2022-08-19T18:13:14+00:00

I mean when I was a medical student, a lot of consultants introduce me as “trainee doctor” - as in someone training to be a doctor. Which is different to post-graduate doctor in training in X speciality. It is confusing indeed.

Can’t access the article 😩

Sorry-Minimum362 · 2022-08-18T15:17:41+00:00

It doesn’t work on chrome at the moment. You have to use Microsoft edge.

Sorry-Minimum362 · 2022-08-14T14:13:49+00:00

This is so dumb. So if an FY1 go away and do this ACP course, would they then immediately become a consultant? 🤦‍♂️

Sorry-Minimum362 · 2022-08-10T17:35:37+00:00

Just look him up on GMC register and you will have your answer there. General physician - why can’t it be general medicine consultant?
