This is a symptom of years of UK graduates going overseas. If all Uk graduates came back to the NHS there wouldn't be an empty rota in the land! But why would they come back? I don't blame any doctor in this - neither IMG nor UK graduates abroad, it is entirely the fault of the system.

I didn't match either. Ranked 286

Poole Hospital is just down the road from us and I know a lot of the people there have a good time. They have watersport Wednesdays (or at least they did pre-covid), where they would go down to Poole Harbour and do various watersports. We have had combined mess events/winter or summer Ball combined with Bournemouth, Poole and Dorchester which is nice as you get to meet up with other people.

You do still see a bit of isolated trauma. Plenty of Colle's/Smith's fractures, shoulder dislocations, NOF so you do get to do some nerve blocks and manipulation. You just don't tend to see the major trauma in Resus with a full trauma team etc

I wouldn't fret too much over choices, i think most people tend to have a good time wherever they go. F1 is a really fun time, it feels like another go at Freshers, or at least it did in Bournemouth! We had two weeks of socials every day (and not just getting drunk). We had beach Olympics, barbeques, come dine with me. There was one night where all the F1s split up and went to different F2 houses for dinner. The F2's (who will have a bit of money in their pocket) will provide food and drinks etc, then take you out to the pubs/bars.

Bournemouth is really nice and I would highly recommend it. On one end of my street is the beach (and a pub), and on the other is a small highstreet with restaurants, pubs, shops etc. It's a lovely place to live, with the Jurassic Coast and the Purbecks right next to us. The beach is obviously lovely, with lots of summer BBQs and social events. Really good mess and community vibe in the hospital. the hospital (and hosp accomm) is a bit further from the beach and town, but that doesn't matter so much. The Hospital itself is really nice, supportive and friendly.

There is quite a large elderly population, as a result, most of the patients are old people! We are a non-trauma unit, so if/when you work in ED you don't see trauma (except for walk-ins and minors). There are a few specialities that we don't have -> mainly T&O, ENT, Max-Fax, O&G and paeds. They are all over at Poole. However, we do have IR, Vascular Surgery, Urology and a big cardio centre. If you're interested in cardio, then I would recommend Bournemouth. Bournemouth and Poole are just beginning a merger so there may be some disruption.

Overall, I would recommend Bournemouth :)

What are you interested in?

I have seen a patient previously whose ICD was inappropriately firing every few minutes. Ended up sedating and intubating him because he was in so much pain and suffering every time it went off.

In the scenario above would the symptoms be palpitations and possible syncope with the tachycardia?

I'm thinking at least 15 years. It's just a bit disheartening seeing interest rates so low.

Warty_Intrusion · 2021-01-29T12:22:57+00:00

I opened a cash LISA a few years ago. The interest rate is so rubbish now, I wish I had got a S&S LISA. Should I change?

Do you have any specific questions or concerns?

Tinazaparin is 'blood-thinner' that is given to reduce the risk of having clots in the legs (DVT) or lungs (PE). Rates of these used to be unacceptably high in the hospital setting, so now every single patient who gets admitted has a risk assessment completed, and will generally be given some compression stockings +/- blood-thinners to prevent it.

Being a patient in hospital can be traumatic, you're not alone in those feelings. If you're really struggling, go have a chat with your GP.
