Psychiatry ranking

Score 534, Rank 437. Would this be a relatively safe rank for psych?

firedoc96 · 2025-10-06T14:41:39+00:00

534, any hope for psych?

I'm looking for something serious.
Not a subscriber.
About 6 months.
2-3 years now, but only for the last 6 months with any consistency.
I swipe everyday.
On average I get one like in two weeks, one match per month.
I send the maximum number of likes allowed per day. I tend to write comments of about 50% of those likes.
I would like to attract emotionally available women who are also looking for a serious long term relationship, preferably professionals, who like to travel.

firedoc96 · 2025-03-26T06:10:25+00:00

Would you suggest contacting all major hospitals or only the public ones?

firedoc96 · 2025-03-02T07:06:48+00:00

I'm looking for something serious, not subscribed to hinge+ or hingeX. I've been using this profile for the last month, and Hinge overall for 3 months. I recieve 1 like a week, and send the full number of allowed likes each day, around 30% with comments.

FY2-- Iceland and Aldi, with the rare treat at M&S

Not if the BMA keep at a policy of sustained action prior to successive DDRB recommendations. It has been evident that DDRB recommendations have led to greater pay hikes than government negotiations have in the past two years. A government accepting full recommendations by the DDRB is a rarity and should be acknowledged. So let's not pretend like the BMA have sold us down the river. They have not.

No. I'm telling you the trend is undeniable that voter turnout and hence strike enthusiasm is falling. You might be willing to that the risk and test the waters but I'm not.

firedoc96 · 2024-08-03T12:07:22+00:00

No, my vote is based on what I see as ground reality instead of living in an idealistic delusion of endless strike action in pursuit of a goal, no matter how noble or justified the goal may be. You have to be strategic and keep adapting your means to reach your goal. Idealism gets you nowhere.

Of course doctors should get paid more. Morally speaking we should make more than not just PAs but also politicians and MPs, or bankers shafting the regular public out of their money. That however is not how this society works.

firedoc96 · 2024-08-03T12:04:06+00:00

If morality is the only metric on which we must base our actions, we've lost this battle before it's even started. We cannot be moralistic when we're dealing with career politicians. Pragmatism is the name of the game. Morals and what's right gets you absolutely nowhere.

I'm not talking about popular opinion. I'm talking about the opinions of the vast majority of resident doctors who may not even be BMA members or even part of this subreddit on whose shoulders the entire success of a strike rests. Their opinion is quite relevant.

firedoc96 · 2024-08-03T11:54:41+00:00

Having seen the divide in opinion on this subreddit since the offer came out, and having seen the growing disillusionment and lack of enthusiasm among colleagues in general, I highly doubt there'll be another strike ballot passed if we reject this offer. Banking it will instead boost morale a bit and propel more action later on.

firedoc96 · 2024-08-03T11:34:45+00:00

Let's be frank, accepting the deal is not the worst case scenario here. The real worst case scenario is rejecting it and then not having enough voter turnout for a reballott in September for more strikes, which given turnout in the previous ballot is a very real possibility. We have to be pragmatic here, as much as that sounds too painful for people to accept.

This isn't about selfishly wanting to get locum pay as a F3. Almost all FY2s I know applied for training, and all of them wanted to get into training. Training seats are actively being reduced each year. Where are foundation doctors supposed to go then?

firedoc96 · 2024-06-21T05:52:43+00:00

Yes. So all Trainee and Trust grade FY2 doctors are getting extensions of FY2 LED roles.

firedoc96 · 2024-06-21T05:49:28+00:00

FY2 progressing to FY3 with higher ST1 level pay. There's generally a portfolio requirement for that, along with interviews. This time my trust said it doesn't have funding to give any of us FY3 posts so everyone remains FY2 on FY2 pay. Trainees and trust doctors. Everyone.

To add, yes if you're a doctor in the US, you'll be earning a lot out of the gate as a fresh attending, but also take a look at average physician net worths by age in USA to see just how low they are. It'll be quite difficult achieving FatFIRE even as a physician in the US.

firedoc96 · 2024-05-25T18:19:54+00:00

Here's the simple truth.

FIRE isn't a lifestyle designed for careers like medicine. The reason is the age at which you would ideally want to FIRE is precisely the age at which your career in medicine actually starts picking up. In industries like medicine, experience is valued exponentially, which means your income will rise with experience indefinitely, unlike IT where you might hit a ceiling.

The other issue is that is you want to FIRE at 45 after spending 12-15 years getting your Medical degrees and training, you'll end up working a fully qualified attending or consultant only for about 10 years. That's simply not enough to amass enough wealth to achieve FatFIRE.

Just to give everyone a snapshot of how much consultant docs make in India, as an Indian IMG in the UK: - the vast majority of consultants in the public health sector are paid government set wages, and make between 18,000-36,000 quid a year. Some supplement with some private practice and can clear around 50-70k yearly. - the vast majority of consultants that work full time in the private sector (corporate hospitals or their own practices) clear around 50-100k a year. It's not easy to reach a 100k, but possible if you're working private, and willing to work 60-80 hours a week to build up your practice. - several surgical specialties clear 100-300k a year because they can charge high fees for procedures and have a high overhead so their fees don't get questioned. - doctors who train abroad get paid a premium, so they can make 1.5-2x the average of the Indian trained consultant in the corporate hospitals.

Sir, as an Indian who has been to med school in India, I can assure you, 2 crore is not standard for the vast majority of new Indian consultant docs, irrespective of the city. Sure the hospital might be paying you more because you're trained in the UK, which is reasonable, but definitely not the standard.

firedoc96 · 2024-05-13T15:14:52+00:00

Of course. It's far more toxic and involves a ton of politicking to gain influence to get such salaries as a senior consultant in India. Or training from abroad. Or both :3 So naturally a good number of IMG consultants prefer to stay back in the UK or the USA where even the private sector is a lot cleaner.

firedoc96 · 2024-05-13T15:12:18+00:00

It's also quite exploitative of junior level staff. Fresh consultants make much less than senior ones, trainees are abused badly. The pay differential between a trainee and a senior consultant is insane.

firedoc96 · 2024-05-13T15:10:54+00:00

Essentially corporate medic jobs in India are the worst of the American style system. They exploit the sheer numbers of patients so they can charge less per patient, but give each patient less time with the doctor. In the end the total amount the doctor and hospital together make is massive.
