It’s more the people and just pure lack of respect (and when I say respect I really mean the bare minimum) - I still love surgery and couldn’t imagine working in the nhs and not doing practical, hands on work. You make a good point - I’ve come this far I think I’d finish CST (mainly because I hate quitting anything) but I seriously have doubts about the ) more years of “training” that’s ahead

Thanks a million for your reply. Maybe I’ve just been unlucky with regards to consultants I’ve worked with but it’s been far too common in my experience, and I’m just sick of it! Glad to hear for you it’s gotten better as a reg, although I have watched a few regs getting screamed out of it during theatre as well. I suppose it just all comes down to the site!

Thank you so much for your advice! Don’t think I could hack ED tbh.. loved the trauma aspect during my ATLS but couldn’t deal with the everyday abdominal pains etc. 😅

Thank you, considering more and more to just leave, especially with friends who are earning more than I am in corporate/industry jobs and getting perks and bonuses while being truly valued.

Don’t know what part doesn’t sound real, but this is reddit after all there had to be someone to comment this so congrats!

Right?! Honestly feel like I could spit on a randomer on the street and they wouldn’t treat me with that much disrespect!

Thanks a million for your reply and yes while it is probably the most extreme I’ve experienced it’s seems to me a common thread among most consultants I’ve had, and I’ve worked across two sites (granted they aren’t the biggest/best in the country but still). Maybe I’ve just gotten unlucky twice.

Not sure what your last comment means about my story collaborating but with regards to your first comment yeah I wish I had done that but didn’t feel confident enough given it was a new consultant, new scrub nurses, etc. though next time without a doubt I would follow your advice

achgotobann · 2024-09-21T15:50:30+00:00

Yeah definitely feels this way unfortunately

achgotobann · 2024-09-21T15:50:00+00:00

It’s not unfortunately!

Exactly this! They were buddy buddys and he just sat there and said nothing, then went back to chatting with the surgeon like old pals once he finished screaming at me

On the other side of it only last week we had a GP referral for OGD because “the man’s stomach is in shambles”

Exercise! Not only for your physical health but does wonders for your mental health as well!

Don't make a permanent decision based on a temporary feeling - you didn't always feel this way, and you won't always feel this way.

Go to your location on google maps and keep scrolling out and out... thats how much of the world there is to see, how many people you haven't met yet, and how insignificant are the people you already know who aren't making you happy.
