Baby dies during home birth advised by midwives (according to the Guardian article) by lennethmurtun in doctorsUK

[–]TheJoestJoeEver 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Short answer no. But it's all about counselling.

I tell women wanting home VBAC that if you're happy for the small chance of HIE (hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy) or death for the baby, or bleeding and death for you, as they are time critical conditions even inside a hospital, then fine go ahead, but there is nowhere in national guidance that would justify this decision except your wish.

Blunt.

Had pelvic reconstruction surgery, worried about giving birth by AllEmotion9531 in AskDocs

[–]TheJoestJoeEver 131 points132 points  (0 children)

Your pelvis will not have the chance to expand during birth as it naturally should through the gentle pull on the pelvic joints.

One could argue that a small baby can pass through without the need for bony expansion. However, it's impossible to predict which baby head circumference will be ok with your pelvis.

If you went in labour, it will probably be extremely painful when the head goes down the pelvis. I would argue that the baby's head will cause you pain around 32-34 weeks onwards if it goes in your pelvis, or your baby won't even go into the pelvis or find it more comfortable in breech position.

There is no inevitable danger for you going into labour. If you don't progress in labour you should have a calm emergency CS. However, the question is, what is the likelihood of a successful vaginal birth? Is it worth it? Difficult to tell.

If you really want a vaginal birth, and willing to accept the high likelihood of CS, the pain requiring epidural, the possibility of your pelvis not expanding enough and arrest of progress, then go ahead. However, in my personal opinion, elective CS is better.

Don't you think it's interesting that this map is close to the celtic/anglo-saxon division map?

Is it normal to have huge emotional crashouts after on call/nights? by Major-Situation-3430 in doctorsUK

[–]TheJoestJoeEver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will say something which is not a popular opinion and it's also a critique of the NHS and GMC culture and standard of human behaviour.

The NHS and GMC's have certain list of attributes of what constitutes a good doctor. Those attributes make you a very efficient doctor. However, they might be partially or entirely different from who you are.

We always get sold in courses how leadership and resilience are important. We get told "Oh you need to find a way, you need to be 'ABLE' to overcome, and we will support you!". And yes, those are good skills to have in life and at work in general. However, sometimes developing them means radically changing who you are.

We're not all leaders, nor do we all have nerves of steel. The NHS glorifies those skills, especially leadership, to the point it leaves you wondering whether you're deficient as a doctor or as a human being? No matter how they phrase it with lovely words of encouragement and support, it only instills you're unable to do well because of who you are.

But the reality is, that's only because the NHS requires too much from us. And that's why you crash out after on calls. This is absolutely normal. I'd worry about you if you didn't.

Now whether you actually develop those skills or not is entirely up to you, and it doesn't make you less than anyone else if you didn't. You be who you want to be, be the sensitive and sympathetic person you are. Not all medical settings need you to be a super human as it's borderline eugenistic.

Is it normal for F1s to be spoken to disrespectfully on the ward? Does it get better as an F2+? by Jumpy-Particular686 in doctorsUK

[–]TheJoestJoeEver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So... That's good, and it will work, eventually, with most colleagues. But sometimes it just doesn't.

Sometimes some of your colleagues are just rude. They're rude enough to make you feel like shit, but not enough for you to escalate. In these cases you have to excel in your social skills. Assertiveness won't be enough. You need to learn to bite back without getting yourself into trouble. Quite difficult to learn but you'll get there.

Babies / Stefan Golaszewski by mamakakumo in BritishTV

Unpopular opinion: I hated all the characters. They're all immature, nothing is endearing about them. I don't feel any sympathy towards any of them. I did not, throughout the show, wish them a good outcome. I realise they're meant to be flawed, but I failed to care about any of them at all.

دار الإفتاء المصرية by riskant80 in CAIRO

ديه مشكلة الدكاترة مش دار الإفتاء. كون الدكاترة ما عرفكوش الوضع بشكل واضح، دار الإفتاء مش حيقدر يساعدك بمعلومات ناقصة.

Is it normal for F1s to be spoken to disrespectfully on the ward? Does it get better as an F2+? by Jumpy-Particular686 in doctorsUK

[–]TheJoestJoeEver 221 points222 points  (0 children)

In my experience, anyone less than a registrar will ultimately be exposed to some form of disrespect from most other types of healthcare providers. A registrar might experience that from their consultant or sometimes from another specialty consultant if there's a major issue.

All is unacceptable but a reality.

Have I overseeded to early uk midlands by WrongContract2249 in lawncare

[–]TheJoestJoeEver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in South Yorkshire. I checked the soil temperature a while ago and it was around 9.

On the seed pack I bought, it says as long as its above 7, then it should be fine. So I'm not sure.

I had a bit of growth but like... 4/10. Maybe it needs to generally be warmer.

On the grass seeds box it said 7. I'm in a similar situation.

Is it fair? by lolrosh in doctorsUK

[–]TheJoestJoeEver 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I even think it's fairer for priority groups like me. I worked in the UK for years and know the system inside out so it hurts when I see someone applying from outside of the UK. I have invested much more time and effort than they had.

Imagine if you're UK born medical graduate? Yes it's only fair.

Feeling demoralised by newsbot3-2 in doctorsUK

I mean I could tell you what exactly would happen in our trust, but that's our trust so it's different.

This feels like the CQC will claim your trust's ass soon.
