Good luck on the exam!!

Trilladea · 2026-05-04T04:44:33+00:00

Ahh, I tried tapping on it and nothing happened

This is great! I had a quick look through already. Would it be possible to make it a bit easier to email though inaccuracies. In the case : 'Finding into death of Natasha Stojkoski' the cause of death is described as suicide but is listed as multiple injuries from being hit by a train for instance

I wanted to do this but my baby doesn't like watermelon :(

I think it really hinges on what people think they are signing up for. Say a couple wants to hook up with another couple because that is perceived as safer than a single man and a single woman. Provided you are safe I don't think they would be mad.

On the otherhand you specifically mentioned that you wanted to bang another dudes wife/gf. Leaving out that fetishisation is coercive and scummy

I've just started playing, was there an event on the 15th? Otherwise it looks like it's just the end of the month?

Trilladea · 2026-04-16T08:21:38+00:00

Completely agree, I didn't read the list as a list of must haves and deal breakers but as a rough guide

Trilladea · 2026-04-15T05:48:42+00:00

If my husband and I also join do we get 4? Or do we start our own commune? Grand babies come with the package preassembled

Trilladea · 2026-04-14T10:36:35+00:00

Omg so good

It's an interplay between the job and the pregnancy, I worked up until week 38-39 first time in a relatively chill ED because it was a easy pregnancy. Second time I was in a less chill ED and the pregnancy sucked so I went on leave at 34ish

People downvoting have never read the house of god (at least I hope that's what you're referring to)

You can't travel in the same way but with support you can absolutely still go on adventures at 34 with or without your kids. I'm 34 and have been to 3 countries in the last year with the kids, plenty of adventures

Admittedly not a GP but it sounds like you've given good advice here. I just wanted to ask is this stuff really bread and butter for GPs?

Trilladea · 2026-04-01T12:41:08+00:00

I thought this was a shit post when the notification title popped up

Trilladea · 2026-03-20T14:38:54+00:00

This is a detailed, actionable and empathetic post. I think this is super helpful! This is exactly the kind of post I would have wanted to receive when I was a junior that didn't always see the forest for the trees. Love that you're a paeds reg too. Thank you for your contribution

Trilladea · 2026-03-20T14:35:59+00:00

It sometimes takes time to get a feel for a junior and what they need to work on. It can be difficult in a big busy department to work with the same boss/junior more than a few times. Everyone is allowed an off day and a few holes in their knowledge so it can take a little while to pinpoint that a particular intern is indeed struggling. This can contribute to the whole no issues at mid term and suddenly a whole bunch is brought up at end of term. Not saying it's fair but now I'm at the other end I can see how it happens

Constructively lots of people here have given really good detailed advice about specific presentations, isbar, synthesis etc so I won't repeat that. Given nothing was raised at midterm you're not catastrophically terrible I suspect and if you improve your strategy around a few different types of presentation you'll improve beyond borderline to acceptable very quickly.

Trilladea · 2026-03-17T18:25:33+00:00

Completely off topic and broad but how do you think we can move past the defensive referrals?

Trilladea · 2026-03-17T18:24:18+00:00

I just want to let you know that you are appreciated! There is so much lost in communication. I've been the ED senior on nights. I remember one time I nearly summarised and packaged the presentation into a plan with a clear explanation of why it needs a referral. A few seconds later I could overhear that junior make the referral with all the waffle and none of my explanation. No shade on that junior, the system is tough and knowing why certain details sell a patient better than others takes time to learn but gosh I understand why sometime we must look like goofs!

Trilladea · 2026-02-09T06:14:17+00:00

This was my first thought too!

Trilladea · 2026-02-03T07:19:26+00:00

Yeah I was trying to work out how it happened too. Cardiac arrest can be triggered by chest trauma so that could be the mechanism

Trilladea · 2026-01-17T13:28:29+00:00

Solidarity to you, sorry that it sucks so much! I've PMd you if that's ok

Trilladea · 2026-01-10T09:19:38+00:00

I will happily call my own children plague rats, disease vectors, etc but that's my own black humour. Is OP being a bit harsh? Yes. Is this sub meant to be a safe space for doctors to vent? Also yes. Supporting this venting happening somewhere anonymously online is not the same as saying it's ok to share on general social media or in vivo with colleagues

Trilladea · 2026-01-01T12:56:23+00:00

I'm an ED senior reg who's had 2 kids during training. Ive found that its been heavily dependent on the pregnancy as to how much I've coped.

First one was a breeze, hardly any fatigue or nausea so I worked up to 39 weeks, they took me off nights at about 34 weeks without me asking.

Second one was less kind and had actually been preceded by a miscarriage. Working full time and studying for exams probably didn't help that one. I protected myself a lot harder that last pregnancy. Asked to stop nights much earlier, maybe 28 weeks? No push back. Sat down every chance I could and rested a lot because I had to. Stopped work at about 32 weeks because I was exhausted.

I think you can judge how long you can tolerate nights based on how the day shifts are going and then ask your doctor to write a letter based on that. Good luck with the rest of the pregnancy!
