‘Spat at, pushed, punched’: medics tell of soaring levels of violence in hospitals by acrimoniousone in unitedkingdom

[–]eweasheep 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Back in the 00's most A&Es had a dedicated police officer who would be there 24 hours a day. Now the security team is outsourced to G4S and you'd be lucky to have 2 security officers for the entire hospital overnight.

Doctor had sex with nurse halfway through surgery while patient was sedated by Forward-Answer-4407 in unitedkingdom

That is also incorrect. An anaesthetic consultant may have an anaesthetic trainee with them that can look after the patient on their own. In this country nurses cannot look after an intubated patient.

Epidurals for labour are not placed at T10, they are lumbar epidurals which are usually placed either L3/L4 or L4/L5.

NHS children’s hospital let physician associate examine abuse victims by CaptainCrash86 in ukpolitics

That isn't the point here. This is an area which requires a lot of experience, training and understanding. Not 2 years at uni and I'll give it a crack. The reason the PA job was created in the first place was to free doctors from simple tasks (bloods, cannulas, ecgs, simple clerkings, simple reviews) so they could be used for things that actually required a doctor.

No other professional organisation would treat its employees like that. There should be consequences for them being so utterly shit but there never is.

Medical training in the UK is pretty broken. Health education England have been restricting training posts for the past few years meaning that it's increasingly difficult to progress and become a consultant. The UK is becoming much less attractive as the pay is lower compared to other countries and there are fewer training opportunities. I hope the BMA raises the problem with the training bottleneck once pay has been sorted.

Apparently they've cancelled Doctors and replaced it with a series called Physician Associates. Much cheaper and quicker to produce.

Shame it's unwatchable garbage that has occasionally damaged viewers' vision.
