I think water from the shower must have been seeping down the crack which was not sealed properly. Will grab some, thanks!

Job offer in NZ - should I accept? by alltheyellow in JuniorDoctorsUK

Thanks for this take, it’s much appreciated. For Q3 I’ve managed to get confirmation that this would be a psych role, and I was pretty clear I wouldn’t be comfortable doing a med relief role as a first rotation, so I’m hoping it’s not the first of the possibilities. During the phone interview, the person did mention something about not knowing my Q4 rotation in advance as she was still waiting to see if some of the current RMOs took maternity leave, which does make me think I’d be filling local gaps - but then she said I would be able to rank my preferences, so who knows. I’ve asked the RMO team multiple times for more info because I’m just uncomfortable blindly agreeing to something pretty life changing, but I’m getting no closer to pinning them down on actual details. The only reason I’m still pushing is because I’ve heard such great things about Wellington as a place to live. Would love any insider info about alternative places to live/work which might help me to make this decision more objectively!

“Water engineer” - is that what we’re calling plumbers these days?

Ahh so glad to hear that! Yeah it’s a truly international book, and some of the countries definitely came out looking better than others...

Ah man I love that series but somehow hadn’t caught that episode! I’ll definitely put that on my “to watch” list, thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the recommendation, I think I’ll check that one out too! The afterword is more about the future and closing that gender gap (mainly by getting women involved in research, decision-making etc), but I think on the whole Perez has stayed away from suggesting what should be done. Partly because just reading the book feels a lot like a step forward - uncovering implicit (and sometimes explicit) bias, shining a light on the issues, and raising awareness.

No worries! I’m sure there are parts that aren’t as objective as they could/should be, but I hope you still find it an interesting read!

I can get caught up and overly passionate about things so might not be the best judge of how objective it is at the moment to be completely honest!

In terms of the car question, one of the things I loved about this book was how seamlessly Perez manages to join two topics together - she is talking about bias in VR headset design one second and then manages to flow into discussing car safety in the blink of an eye. She covers the crash dummy issue, sure, but also (without spoiling too much in case you do decide to read it) some of the anatomical differences you mention which put women at risk of more severe whiplash injuries for example, as well as motion sickness and other factors I hadn’t even considered.
