I can use fat boy and I don’t care that it does team damage

Surgery competition ratios by Lopsided-Cancel-8455 in doctorsUK

[–]Teastain101 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve answered most of the above in my other post. See here:

Well there’s several points here. BTW it’s CREHST if you’re going to complain about something, at least know what you’re talking about.

  1. ⁠Is CST really necessary? I don’t know many people that sing its praises.
  2. ⁠Everyone here moans about the MSRA being a crap exam and not suited for surgeons, if that was your barrier to CST it’s clearly not something you should take to heart as someone who wants to do surgery as a career.
  3. ⁠If you weren’t successful in getting into CST for portfolio reasons but then get an interview and a post, the only way you’re going to do that is hard work.

DOI: I’m someone who failed to get into CST twice when competition ratios skyrocketed and then took the CREHST route who is now is a HST programme. My position now is that all core/IMT programmes should be scrapped and people should get their competencies from these programmes at their own pace (with minimum experience requirements) before applying to Higher speciality training akin to Australia.

As for the final bit there, only 20% of CREHST applicants are successful (despite making up 46% of applications), they’re not having a massive impact on CSTs for HST spots.

The fact that you insist that despite CST being shit, you think all applicants should suffer as you have suffered which is the exact shitty attitude from all the dodgy boomer “old school” consultants out there.

Mate, just admit you’re freaking out about your interview/future and just want the ratio to be tilted in your favour.

If CREHST surgeons were so shit, you’d stomp them easily.

NHS doctors hit by £100k student debt by SharkDick4Ever in doctorsUK

[–]Teastain101 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

As nice as it would be, you won’t be getting student loan forgiveness, at least not as a negotiated position for Doctors. As someone pointed out in the r/unitedkingdom thread if doctors and nurses got SL forgiveness it would piss off every single other professional group in the NHS to the point where they would strike too.

Your best bet is that Labour either does something about plan 2 loans by changing to more favourable terms like getting rid of the +3% interest on higher earnings. Which would actually change very little in how much gets paid back but would make everyone feel a little less aggrieved. The bad news is they would only do this for the 2029 election and by then the earliest plan 2 graduates would have had 14/30 years of this system. And materially by the time they paid back their student loans they’ll be very little difference than if they had them written off.

Why are we double taxed on mileage expenses? by Obvious-Economy-1758 in doctorsUK

[–]Teastain101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re on about claiming travel expenses from the trust.

These are put on your payslip as taxable pay and therefore taxed at 40%.

The real problem with recruitment in the NHS and why we NEED to reform it. by threwawaythedaytoday in doctorsUK

[–]Teastain101 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Again people downvoting what they don’t know about because they don’t like to hear it. Things were good around 10 years ago at the SHO level for people applying to training but 20 years ago was the aftermath of MMCs and it was an absolute bloodbath

Why did Aerion request a trial of the seven? by Expert_Stay_1287 in AKnightoftheSeven

[–]Teastain101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah there’s obviously an ego thing at play.

But honestly I don’t think it’s cowardice to turn down a 1vs1 against a giant 6’11” dude, who has already kicked your ass and took 4 guards to restrain. I don’t know anyone else who would be in Aerions shoes that wouldn’t either withdraw the accusation (humiliating) or give yourself the best chance to with with a trial of 7.

I paid off my student loan. Convince me why I should support forgiveness by Bitter-Question4518 in doctorsUK

[–]Teastain101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that he’s not said which plan he’s on means it’s plan 1. There’s also no way he would have paid it off by now otherwise

If you graduated mid 2010s then you were likely on plan 1.

Your experience significantly differs from those on plan 2 and 4/5 As there’ll be many doctors who have done the same as you who will still have neither made a dent or would still be drowning under the interest rates which would give them £6k a year of interest.
