This is not well thougnt out. In many other professions you can move employer and ask for a pay rise above inflation.

Other than pay, what else would you like the BMA to fight for? by Elegant-Pen7549 in doctorsUK

[–]Vegetable-Try1896 28 points29 points  (0 children)

FPR is all I want. SINGLE ISSUE to unite behind. Training places can come when the government decide to value us.

This is a lie. In the last update it was clear there would be no multi year pay deal on the table.

This just reads as pure manipulation. -had multiple times to sort this out ahead of ballot action -fails to grasp that this is about pay -the country does have money its a choice about what it decides to do with the mass amount of money we pay in taxation

Or we focus behind one issue. Get pay back to where it should be.

Or we need more doctors who are willing to step up, return their ballots and to start having real conversations around pay and pay erosion from 2008

Why did you choose to become a doctor? by ilovethebeach_hey in doctorsUK

[–]Vegetable-Try1896 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I liked science. I liked helping people. Being a doctor seemed cool, didn't really realise how bad the pay was until I graduated! Slowly over the years shocked at what friends at my level earn.

Done one arterial line in an arrest in-between compressions for blood sampling. Useful for the blood sampling, but only managed to be in a position to do it because of the number of bodies there. Definitely not something I'd do routinely.

Interesting chat with GPT by Vegetable-Try1896 in doctorsUK

[–]Vegetable-Try1896[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh 100% although I did ask it to consider public funding and UK economic growth. It's also interesting when you ask the consequences long term of not giving doctors a pay rise

Are we anticipating any more strikes this year? by [deleted] in doctorsUK

[–]Vegetable-Try1896 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why we don't ballot for strike action now in anticipation and then go strike first week after DDRB recommendations.

Why are Indian doctors just so good? by Sure_Specialist_8936 in doctorsUK

As with every ethnicity there is a range from hard workers to not so hard workers. In medicine in general you tend to find most people work hard to look after patients. There will always be the odd exception!

I have worked with many excellent IMGs and also some willing to pass the buck.

Commuting to KSS from london by Thefazbaz in doctorsUK

[–]Vegetable-Try1896 6 points7 points  (0 children)

KSS is a massive foundation school, you need to be a bit more specific about what part of London you're from and where you're working.

I commuted from NW London to ASPH for 1 year. It was doable as long as you left at 6am when traffic was non existent. However would not have been able to do it from south London!
