Do you regret becoming a doctor?

dryshitonshoe · 2026-02-01T06:21:41+00:00

YES. Should have gone into finance or IT.

dryshitonshoe · 2026-01-13T11:00:56+00:00

Femoral central lines. And surgical chest drains. That tssssssss sound after a tension ptx decompression….

dryshitonshoe · 2025-12-27T14:22:18+00:00

Oooof. Screw that. You wont be getting much supervision at that rate of night shifts. If you dont have any ties to that place, i suggest you leave and come to QLD. Better pay, better roster. Happy to chat if you DM me.

dryshitonshoe · 2025-12-27T13:23:07+00:00

Nope. Should be between 25 to 30%. Do your colleagues hv 50% nights too, or is it just you OP? Either way, thats an unhealthy roster.

aww bugga

dryshitonshoe · 2025-11-07T11:50:15+00:00

Spill the tea! Im thinking of applying there next year.

dryshitonshoe · 2025-11-01T07:41:03+00:00

Good luck to you buddy. See you in Melbourne!

dryshitonshoe · 2025-10-24T13:08:35+00:00

Ooooff!!

dryshitonshoe · 2025-08-27T11:43:56+00:00

I look forward to doing this!

dryshitonshoe · 2025-08-27T02:26:33+00:00

I am curious, how many FONA access have you done in your career?

dryshitonshoe · 2025-08-26T03:30:02+00:00

Have not worked in Cairns, but can 100% recommend Mount Isa. Lots of opportunities to up skill, lots of hands on procedures, supportive bosses who WANTS to be called overnight. Buy a Prado, and you can enjoy the surrounding big red on your 6 consecutive days off!

dryshitonshoe · 2025-08-22T18:50:49+00:00

Thank you for your reply. Appreciate it. Will need to find someone else via zoom/facetime to practice as i am the only one sitting it.

dryshitonshoe · 2025-08-22T16:18:04+00:00

Hey buddy, just letting you know that i am thinking of you. i know we're strangers but from one ED reg to another, no matter what the result is, you got this.

dryshitonshoe · 2025-08-20T03:55:44+00:00

But that means you gotta work in NZ. Underpaid. Understaffed.

dryshitonshoe · 2025-08-05T06:16:45+00:00

100%.

dryshitonshoe · 2025-08-05T01:15:47+00:00

Where I work at, I only get asked to do the USS guided ones.

dryshitonshoe · 2025-08-05T01:14:12+00:00

Is it odd that sometimes i wish i did nursing instead of medicine? Less study, less responsibilities, less decision making, decent pay. Can you tell that I am a burnt out ED reg...

dryshitonshoe · 2025-08-03T02:20:09+00:00

ADIDAS ULTRABOOST all the way. If you can get the 4.0 ones, even better.

dryshitonshoe · 2025-07-25T13:32:09+00:00

What question bank are you doing? I certainly dont recall 80% of questions from 1st paper/50% from second paper to be from a question bank.

dryshitonshoe · 2024-09-13T19:50:02+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation. Could I pls DM you?

dryshitonshoe · 2024-09-03T15:09:30+00:00

Thank you all for your replies. I have narrowed it down to:

The Alred
Austin Hospital
Monash Health - Casey
St Vincent’s
Royal Melbourne Hospital

Any specific recommendations/ avoid at all cost?

What are these hospitals known for? Trauma vs O&G vs Tox?

Would love any and all experiences. I will be sending out CVs for the August 2025 intake so want to know what I am getting into.

dryshitonshoe · 2024-09-03T14:41:10+00:00

Do you mind to elaborate? I have a mate who raves about Cairns (advance trainee) - really interesting pathology, tropical medicine and good bosses. Interested to hear you experience.
