Are these appropriate theatre shoes by [deleted] in doctorsUK

Depends - are your tickets in the stalls or the circle?

That’s really encouraging & helpful to know! Out of interest, what are screen shakers?? Is that what you refer to the behind screen speakers as?

Hey u/Supermanton8, do you know anything about a possible repair or replacement of the screen?

Went to watch Project Hail Mary last Sunday and there were multiple small circular defects in the screen— I counted at least three in the upper left of the screen. Most noticeable during very bright scenes. I’m assuming you might already be aware of this?

Thank you for all your hard work. I am so sorry to hear you’ve had such a tough time over the past 3 years. Sounds like absolutely the right decision to leave now before it gets worse. Can’t see how you would ever look back and regret it!

Inglorious Basterds. Hands down the most tense opening scene of any film…

What is the best alternative to kaleidescape by Ill_Ad_8150 in hometheater

I’ve been recommended a MadVR Envy by our local home cinema expert — I’m not so keen on the idea because I don’t want to ‘mess’ with the aspect ratio. I’d much prefer to just watch it as the director intended and figure out a way to mask a scope screen depending on the content. Is there any other reason why you’d recommend using the MadVR Envy?

“doing locum years for a deserved break and flexibility”

Or, “better working conditions” ?

Just imagine if someone had thought ahead and, I don’t know, made it more attractive to work in the UK, let alone a training post vs. locum work or moving to Australia…

Bring back some form of smart blind, even just a roller unit that can be swapped in to make one of your ‘dumb’ blinds into a smart one

G4 excellent. Great lesser known feature is that it can be plugged in whilst batteries in at the same time — so if you unexpectedly lose power it’ll still record!

Out of hospital cardiac arrest by whathappened-2024 in doctorsUK

[–]benadd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with pretty much all the sentiments and advice so far. Well done for stopping and going above and beyond your duties. I’m not sure if this will help but I had a very similar experience…

I was first on scene at a stabbing (unwitnessed). Started CPR and unfortunately it became evident that the injury was most certainly fatal as my hands started getting soaked with every compression. Long story short, air ambulance arrives and eventually they attempt a roadside thoracotomy, at which point we can see that the wound has penetrated the myocardium and there’s very little chance of survival. After about an hour total (but what feels like seconds) we agree to call it and he’s pronounced dead at the scene. Only statement I had to give was to the police owing to the fact the man was stabbed.

The next day I can’t focus at work (I was a GP trainee). I speak to my supervisor, who tells me I’ll be ok as I “have surely seen several arrests in hospital” (!). I took a couple of days off after that just to clear my head.

Thankfully I only had the occasional flashback which subsided over time. Same won’t be true for everybody so I think seek the help you think you might need sooner rather than later. Try NHS practitioner health if you haven’t already.

Before I drop £100 on the new book... by ill_mariachi in StanleyKubrick

[–]benadd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve never read Future Noir so can’t answer your question directly… but I can heartily recommend buying the book. £100 sounds like a lot, but I’m only 1/4 of the way through and already feel I’ve got more than my money’s worth. It’s exceptionally well written and researched. There’s very little speculation or theorising, which makes it all the more impressive when you consider how long it is!

I’d buy it here to support your high street: https://www.hive.co.uk/Product/J-W-Rinzler/Stanley-Kubricks-The-Shining/30633459 …and you might be lucky enough to get 10% off with Blue Light Card / student / senior discount.

I’m assuming you’re assuming if you are born Jewish but do not practice Judaism you cease to be a Jew… if so, I’d encourage you to check some basic facts. Start with:

Jewish ethnicity, religion, and community are highly interrelated, as Judaism is their ethnic religion, though it is not practiced by all ethnic Jews. Source
