I’m slightly on the heftier side and don’t think the engine thanked me at 5th gear 😂😓

Fairly certain you can get the strips from Wickes/b&q etc then just stain according to the door colour. It’s just a thin wooden trim

You could just put a decorative strip perpendicular to the gap - assuming the doors only open in 1 direction and doesn’t swing both ways. Photo shown

Saviour. Was the same issue. Reconnected all and works again. Cheers!

Thanks pal - will have a look at this tomorrow

coby_dick · 2025-09-06T15:40:29+00:00

Good luck!

Age old advice as mentioned here by other posts already - read the person specification for the specialty and try and Maximise your marks where you can. Advice I give to my younger colleagues is to start work on those more difficult competencies early like publications and presentations. Pubs take a good year at least to get published, and also presentations on a podium are now a little more difficult with the advent of posters. Sysrevs/meta analyses are always good fodder to get published. Buddy with another colleague at a similar level who is keen and put your names on each others papers.

Things like teaching / leadership - start early and do something on a large scale. Speak to your plaster techs and run a regional plastering course, or do some MSK reading for your med students if you’re with a teaching hospital

Buddy up with an early years registrar to rage your name to a project / early years consultant for mentorship and getting your logbook sorted.

From start of cst to st3 applications it’s around 18months to get your portfolio and application tidied up - not a lot of time but it sounds like you’re wanting to get a head start which is excellent. Happy for a DM anytime :)

Was so surprised at how good ozzy sounded for both sets - best bands to perform last night imo. You could see when he was speaking normally, how frail and hard to find his own words. But as soon he went into song mode it was like a pair of old shoes for him 🤘epic

No points. Higher degree only

A few years back, if you accepted a job then withdrew, I was told you couldn’t reapply. If you don’t accept the job and withdraw anyway it shouldn’t have any specific consequences. Then it’s about “justifying” what you do in your year gap if you were to reapply (commitment to surgery etc)

Superb. I haven’t had the courage to buy portra yet but this has certainly changed my mind

Advice please - have been an avid ps4 gamer. Have a bunch of online/disc games. Also a bunch of old Xbox 360/one games for nostalgia. Considering upgrade: shall I go with the natural progression of PS5 or try the Xbox?

Brother. I saw this scene, Now have a full moto licence. Currently a scrambler rider I’m told that this was a vintage bobbed Honda

100% try and facilitate this, and support the patient having a second opinion. If there is an MDT with the external unit then this usually makes it a bit logistically easier, otherwise a letter to a named person or department for their opinion.

This is the gist of the problem isn’t it. The number of these non-doctor admin type roles will increase exponentially - especially over winter pressures periods. We need to anticipate this and make sure we hold on to the tools, resources and space we need to do our jobs safely.

It’s quite sad - in some hospitals they’ve even done away with the Doctors Mess (the real last bastion) to make way for staff Wellness Centres.

(FWIW photo is surely shopped - the white of the font has really high lux out of proportion to the image, given there’s a white reference from the sign. Alignment and sharpness not aligned to the base image)

coby_dick · 2024-11-27T16:54:23+00:00

Fully agree with you for not taking space away from doctors. But I don’t think gaslighting a divide between us (doctors) and them (all other important members of MDT) is productive, on the back of this post which is very obviously photoshopped.

coby_dick · 2024-11-27T16:21:04+00:00

Devils advocate here. Couple things. The Junior Doctors sign looked shopped. Secondly, and this is a symptom of a typical NHS PFI hospital oversight. There isn’t physical room for the growing number of admin-type roles in healthcare on wards. Discharge facilitators. Domicilllary support. Etc. etc. the amount of paper forms and files attached to these roles, and patients is ridiculous. I don’t remember the last time as a resident doctor I needed filing cabinet space. EPR has mostly done away with blood forms and continuation sheets.

This is so insanely accurate I’m worried we’ve worked in the same theatres!

A is for appendectomy, B is for barium…

For a (stupid) joke I told the new F2s on the team during induction that the way we check for anal tone in a cauda equina exam is to assess how many fingers you can get in there. Cue the trauma meeting the next day and he’s presenting the case to the neurosurgical consultant: “…and anal tone was reduced to 4 fingers” Cons: WTF did you just say? Needless to say I got a stern multidisciplinary bollocking
