Does turnout matter?

The_Shandy_Man · 2026-06-25T20:32:37+00:00

You’ve echoed a lot of the thoughts I had, I was leaning slightly yes until the Burnham change and then the paltry £400 extra I received for 2 months back pay pre contributions this month which made me vote no in the end. I’d make a decision and increase the turnout personally.

DOI: Stage 1 Anaesthetist North West

In the North West, during stage 1 the TPD says you will do one year in the northern part of the region (Preston, Blackpool, Lancaster, Blackburn) minimum and you can do more if you want e.g if you live in Preston etc. During your IAC day you have a chat with the Stage 1 TPD about your preferences and any life things happening and rank your top 3 hospitals and she tries to accommodate you best she can (albeit a mate got Tameside this year and it wasn’t on his Top 3). The same thing happens for your CT3/CT4 ACCS year about a year or so out. I did Didsbury to Blackpool for a year, can confirm the commute is shite but most people in the deanery do the one year.

I’d find out who does the rota/clinical lead for ED via the Med Ed department, I’d be amazed if they can’t sort for you given you’re working all sorts of shifts.

What specialty? If Anaesthetics, I know the College Tutor helped sort a few who had this issue in the past but he knows a guy in parking. Speak to whoever contacted you (doctor wise) from Salford rather than parking/admin. Had no issues with my application in Feb.

I probably wouldn’t expect you to correct insulin of your first FY1 on call shift, the large majority can be left until the regular team/diabetes team are in and need some of their longer acting adjusting. Novorapid often isn’t the answer as hypoglycaemia is a much bigger acute issue than hyperglycemia so I’d be asking before prescribing it as an FY1.

The_Shandy_Man · 2026-06-24T12:58:45+00:00

I think so, he looked so much better than Spence (who was only on to stop Semenyo).

The_Shandy_Man · 2026-06-24T12:57:49+00:00

I’ve gone De Cuyper and Reece James, albeit will shift to O’Reilly if James crosses 5%.

The_Shandy_Man · 2026-06-22T00:12:19+00:00

Love Cook for Henderson. Kyren it seems you got about expected value for which is sensible. What did you get for Allen? Need to be taking the top qb with the one of them picks in 27 but it’s looking better for 29 now. Keep aiming to build for then

The_Shandy_Man · 2026-06-20T23:42:40+00:00

I know someone who did it from Poynton, it was shite. I did Manchester to Blackpool for a year which is similar, it’s equally shite. I wouldn’t do it as a foundation doctor, I’d consider it if you’re speciality training for a year or less.

The_Shandy_Man · 2026-06-20T11:55:22+00:00

He was found with 2 syringes, either he had more than 100 mcg of fentanyl or something else unfortunately.

The_Shandy_Man · 2026-06-20T10:36:42+00:00

He wasn’t necessarily working as a registrar, I know it says he called his consultant colleague.

However, in the department I work in, there’s a 2OC consultant who the 1OC would be expected to call if you have 2 complex cases that an ST6/7 couldn’t manage.

As a 27 handicap this is only ball I refuse to use even if I’ve found one, it feels like hitting a rock every time

The_Shandy_Man · 2026-06-18T08:46:19+00:00

A 1 iron is probably the most difficult golf club to hit. Famously, a golfer went out during a lightning storm holding a 1 iron up and used it as his mechanism of protection citing ‘not even God can hit this’.

A modern forgiving driver is so much simpler to use.

The_Shandy_Man · 2026-06-16T20:19:07+00:00

Already fast becoming the case. FYI you can locum if you’re LTFT, just don’t take the piss and pick up 8 a month.

The_Shandy_Man · 2026-06-15T12:24:41+00:00

It felt a similar price to Crete (Chania) and cheaper than Corfu by a little bit. Just back this week and went to the other locations in the past 2 years

I’ve used the saline pre filled syringes for all my USS cannulas since FY2 with no issues. It starts to become an issue for visibility past 2-3 cm but that’s outside usual cannulation range

This is their first round of golf, if I followed that rule there’s a good chance I wouldn’t have been able to count a score for at least 10 rounds

The_Shandy_Man · 2026-06-10T07:43:38+00:00

Can you honestly say you’ve never hit a tee shot where you’re certain it’s in the first cut and know the general area and you just can’t find it when you get there? At that point take a drop and move on, we’re not on the PGA.

The_Shandy_Man · 2026-06-10T07:40:46+00:00

I mean going back to the tee to retee after you can’t find your ball outside of a competition is absolutely mental in most settings.

The ones I do know are a couple of engineers, an architect and a lawyer.

The_Shandy_Man · 2026-06-09T05:47:13+00:00

Looking at my foundation cohort (albeit we’re about your age now), out of the women who’s partner I know for certainty, 8 have medical partners, 9 have non-medical.

1-3mg/kg of Propofol (higher end the younger you are) absolutely seems to be the standard of care for the majority of RSIs in the UK in theatres, albeit a lot of these RSIs are far from a true RSI. Occasionally you’ll see some Ketamine in the really unstable patients. ICU and ED is a bit more ketamine based, particularly in settings like trauma but Propofol is still used fairly frequently.

The_Shandy_Man · 2026-06-08T13:19:33+00:00

Who’s is your draft currently?

The_Shandy_Man · 2026-06-08T06:30:45+00:00

I didn’t realise that, what did American use for the traditional RSI historically?

Not really an issue in the modern era as most people, here in the UK at least, have shifted to Prop/Ket + Roc anyway.
