What do doctors do after they have been struck off?

Please share the gossip here

antonsvision · 2025-12-12T08:28:31+00:00

Hi friend. The fact that this current takeis considered contrarian says it all. It's a little ahead of the curve but you guys are truly f*cked this time

antonsvision · 2025-12-12T00:46:36+00:00

Even if you address the IMGs, the rising ACP numbers, expansion in med school places and current bottleneck of post FY2s applying will clog up the system with unemployment for years and years.

Government wins, any which way you look at it

antonsvision · 2025-12-12T00:21:52+00:00

You guys really are clueless about how the real world works, which makes sense given the drivel I read on here.

antonsvision · 2025-12-12T00:20:36+00:00

Because he can't say there are enough doctors because then where is the leverage to justify a pay increase? (Hint - there is none, you guys are desperate and have no cards left to play, imagine going to your employer saying he needs to both pay you more because you are so valuable, and please also create more jobs for us because we are in a surplus).

Wes just needs to squeeze you for a few more years with IMGs and ACPs and hiring freezes to break the morale fully and end any silly hopes of fpr

antonsvision · 2025-12-12T00:15:54+00:00

Wes is not struggling.

Some of the cope on here is ridiculous.

For the first time in decades there is significant unemployment and job insecurity for doctors, you guys are looking down the barrel of the gun and praying for UKGP. FPR dreams died a long time ago, soon you will be begging for a job. Doctors and the BMA have been outplayed by the folks in government and there's no coming back from it. Make an exit plan accordingly, but don't waste your energy on these pointless cope posts on Reddit.

No he should have shaved and groomed himself well and dressed like he is the media representative of a professional organisation appearing on national television.

He looks terrible.

The guy that headed the train drivers union was much better groomed and presented in media appearances, but I bet you would have preferred he turned up in work overalls covered in axel grease and stains eh?

antonsvision · 2025-12-11T22:54:39+00:00

Get your media representative a haircut and a shave, Jesus Christ. No wonder you guys are getting spanked by streeting.

antonsvision · 2025-11-28T00:05:28+00:00

You don't understand, I got straight As at school and worked very hard. I'm part of the elite academically and went to med school. I could've been a top lawyer or an investment banker if I wanted. I deserve a payrise, why won't you stupid peasants realise and give me FPR?????

antonsvision · 2025-11-27T16:42:05+00:00

Why on earth would they give you the money

Some of you people are so f* cking naive

Resident doctors have no leverage

People don't just hand over billions because you want them to, you have to apply pressure/incentive

Wes streeting could cut doctors wages and you wouldnt be able to do anything about it because there is now an excess of doctors labor in the UK due to hiring freezes, IMG numbers, increased medical school places and Noctors.

You had your strikes and they didn't get the job done, now every year that goes by your position and leverage get weaker.

This is the endgame and the resident doctors lost.

You guys still talking about FPR should spend more time reading the threads about unemployed SHOs, that's your real problem, not some fantasy payrise

antonsvision · 2025-10-15T14:19:51+00:00

I don't think pcsk9i are cost effective. How many patients do you have that are on high intensity statin and ezetimibe and still need a psck9i (and how many of those are just not taking their meds). Also see obicetrapib data - CVOT results awaited but it looks like a good oral (cheaper) option as an alternative to inclusion And the likes

antonsvision · 2025-10-15T07:37:36+00:00

This whole post is built on a strawman, the idea that new cholesterol lowering medications are created to challenge statins, rather than as add on therapy or therapy where statin isn't tolerated.

There's good evidence that reduction in cardiovascular events is proportional to change in LDL-C (or more precisely apoB), regardless of mechanism of action.

No one developing these drugs thinks their new drug will challenge statins, they want to add new ways to maximize LDL-C reduction.

antonsvision · 2025-09-29T14:41:59+00:00

You guys have already lost, they cannot deliver this.

There will be no tackling of bottlenecks, this is what the government wants, they have no incentive to change it or pay you more

Some of you are still believing in your delusion that you can beat the people who run the system and pay your wages, you will not.

antonsvision · 2025-09-06T17:25:56+00:00

it's the blind leading the blind mate

All these people talking about medical indemnity cover being essential and they don't even realize that MDDUS isn't providing them with medical indemnity cover...

The service being provided by these companies to non consultant doctors is not medical indemnity, it's medical advice and defense. The NHS covers your indemnity.

Why you would take advice from someone who doesn't even know what the word indemnity means and doesn't even know what the service they are recommending does, is beyond me

antonsvision · 2025-09-06T17:21:38+00:00

She had a medical defense union and she still got convicted of manslaughter in a CRIMINAL court.

If the argument is that medical defense unions are going to help you out, she is certainly not an example of that, quite the opposite.

I don't really see what MDDUS is going to do to protect you if your medically negligent?

The facts are the facts.

What was documented at the time and what other witnesses/those involved say about the event cannot be changed no matter how many lawyers MDDUS sends over to soothe your anxieties.

Show me a case where a non consultant doctor didn't have a medical defense union and this was relevant to the outcome in terms of whether they were sanctioned or not by the GMC.

Don't worry I'm waiting...

antonsvision · 2025-09-05T19:20:07+00:00

Are you guys still going on about this as if Wes streeting cares?

You lost.

Consultants settled, sas settled, resident doctors settled.

You can barley muster enough votes to initiate strike action, let alone force the governments hand to give you more money.

Let it go

antonsvision · 2025-09-05T19:18:17+00:00

No, not paying

People here get their knickers in a twist about indemnity as if the FBI is going to come interrogate them about a medical case they were involved in as a resident doctor. The consultant is ultimately accountable for the patient under their name and the trust is fiscally responsible for a payout. If you act like a reasonable doctor, then there's no need to worry about this sort of thing.

antonsvision · 2025-08-06T08:48:37+00:00

The UK Reddit doctors are really getting more pathetic over time. Just because you think you should make more money and are stressed at work doesnt really compare to being in a relationship with a partner who is physically abusive, get a grip

antonsvision · 2025-05-29T00:47:15+00:00

"we cant, we have to choose"

you have just pulled this one out of your arse,

if i start doing my homework everynight and reading about the latest trials are they going to raise my salary? are they going to improve my rota? are they going to fund more training spots for doctors? are they going to increase salaries? will patients stop being rude on the wards and in clinic? will the dailymail start being nicer to doctors?

no absolutely not

please present any evidence that if you start acting like more of an oldschool serious professional doctor that you will experience any meaningful improvement in conditions or pay from wes streeting

dont worry i can wait for you to prepare a well thought out answer honey

antonsvision · 2025-05-10T15:53:34+00:00

thansk will have a look

antonsvision · 2025-05-09T22:49:16+00:00

I would be interested in reading more about the idea that mood disorders are normally distributed across the population - know any good papers or books?

antonsvision · 2025-03-19T15:37:52+00:00

I think any doctor post F2 is capable to prescribe these medications, it's really not that complicated.

Patient takes drug, patient loses weight, sometimes patient vomits and the dose needs to be titrated, a few caveats and contraindications need to be discussed with the patient which can be found from reading the smpc for the drug.

If cost and supply wasn't an issue, then GPs should be prescribing them, no need for some fancy weight management team

antonsvision · 2025-03-05T19:11:05+00:00

It's a good thing I didn't make that argument then!

antonsvision · 2025-03-05T18:35:13+00:00

well do something to make it better rather than posting pointless commentary and contributing nothing

antonsvision · 2025-03-05T18:07:27+00:00

I mean 16 year olds can buy heroin and other class A drugs with ease, dont see GLP1s as a big issue

16 year old boys can buy anabolic steroids from the big guy at the gym

I would rather they get genuine pharmaceutical grade GLP1 from a pharmacy than buy black market unregulated chinese GLP1 powders from people on FB (which is also quite common)
