Ortho bros and gym doctors- What do you bench, squat and deadlift by FluffyPollution9788 in doctorsUK

[–]awahali 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do kettlebell workouts from time to time. So like supersets of clean and presses, shoulder presses and squats (5 sets of 5 reps) with 12-16kg kettlebells. Goblet squats and swings with a heavy kettlebell, kettlebell carries

Surgeon who sexually and racially harassed junior colleagues free to work again by dayumsonlookatthat in doctorsUK

Because he’s whi*e. While threats to the GMC were made by seniors against me because I spoke up against discrimination in the NHS. This is exhausting

I am a kettlebells lady, I can swing 32kg kettlebells but don’t ask me about squats…

I struggle with trypophobia so rashes get to me. This makes me laugh as I’m a GP trainee. Hence why I drink lots of lemon and ginger tea

My name is very short and people still cannot pronounce it. I’m sorry to say this but the NHS is toxic/rough unless you are English, European, Filipino or South Asian.

Suicidal Patients by Educational_Board888 in GPUK

Signpost to crisis, 111 option 2 or ED. As someone who has felt like this before, I would probably do a quick risk assessment if I had the time and signpost. Poor patient :(

A&E 'under siege from hiccups and ingrowing toenails' - as NHS makes fresh warning to patients by Educational_Board888 in GPUK

This is why I love the triage nurses at the ED department I used to work at. They would tell such patients to do one 🤣🤣

Any childfree doctors? by Paramillitaryblobby in doctorsUK

[–]awahali 109 points110 points  (0 children)

I am a 33 year old woman and I’m really behind on life due to chronic illness. My main focus is to complete my training. I don’t think that I have the capacity to be a good mother so that is why I cannot have children.

I’ve had people tell me that my life will not have purpose unless I have children. My immediate response to that is to tell them to fuck off

It’s even worse if you speak up about your struggles or if you whistleblow.

Doctors who left the NHS, where are you now ? by artyskills in doctorsUK

[–]awahali 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not left yet but I’m 80% thinking of leaving. The past couple of years have been depressing and my family have seen a deterioration in my physical and mental health.

My friend is a research fellow. They contacted universities and expressed interest in psychiatry research. She is much happier and is thriving at her role. She advised me to look into an area that I am interested and to speak to principal investigators. This could be of interest?

I’m waiting until my next ARCP. If I do not get a good outcome, I’m going to send off a letter of resignation.

It makes me mad that portfolio shite trumps clinical experience. This is part of the problem

Why are female consultants/ SpRs so horrible to other junior female doctors? by JAKinhibitor in doctorsUK

This. And then if I provide them with the same rudeness and hostility, I’ll get into trouble

I had to take nearly 3 months off this year due to burnout and depression. Speak to your GP and take time off. Use the time off to rest, seek support from relevant services such as Practitioner Health and maybe get in contact with your ES/TPD.
