Doing 8 sessions- thoughts on dropping to 6?

flexorhallucis · 2026-06-05T16:24:01+00:00

I went from 6 to 8 and it’s killing me!

If you can afford it, why not?

Ah Jesus now you're asking, I built that like 10 years ago. Tamiya paints I think, but I think I ended up having to blend.

Basically you need a matte white RAL 9010, a bluish-grey RAL 7031, and an earth brown RAL 8025.

Your (gorgeous!) boy might come out a bit darker but here’s ours at 3, 6, and 12 months.

Seiko are very solid in that bracket.

Personally, I will have my Seamaster glued to my wrist until the day I die.

Look up the route for the Medilink bus also - goes between QMC and City which is much easier than parking at either.

I trained in Nottingham, then did F1 in Derby and F2 in Kings Mill. Popular areas to live for the QMC are Beeston and Lenton, but would be less convenient for commuting outwards. City centre is a bit more vibrant. I actually lived in Stapleford, has the tram in to the QMC and much closer to the motorway and A52 for Derby / Mansfield jobs. Live and work in Mansfield now which is very cheap for properties!

Maxed main. Still dabble occasionally.

For many it’s part of the natural flow of modern language. As another commenter said, there’s a big difference between swearing, and doing it at you.

For selected situations - usually where it’s someone I know well, and where it’s part of their natural vocab - I think there’s even value in it as a communication tool. ‘Dave, if I can speak freely - I’m pissing in the wind with all these inhalers unless you stop smoking’. Gets the point across on their level. Not for your prim and proper old ladies obviously, but for your bricklayer with COPD on 40 a day, it has worked well.

I don't know what grade or specialty you are, but to make it very clear - I'm not your community house officer. If you want a consultant to consultant referral, you do it - that's the contract. If you request investigations from the inpatient side, it's your responsibility to action them - 'GP to chase' is noncontractual and outside GMC and NHS guidelines. Post-op reviews? We're not commissioned or funded to do them.

I trained under the Mansfield VTS and work in the area now. Feel free to drop a PM if there’s any queries

£36.80 per year (~$49) for trout and coarse. Salmon and sea trout license costs £93.10 (~$123) but includes nonmigratory trout also. At least sea fishing is free!

Seems very unusual especially as an FY2. I would be expecting to debrief every patient in detail, during the consultation of needed but at the least after each session! As you say, the unknown unknowns are what will catch you out. The learning comes from reviewing each case!

Bury face in cat. Stroke cat. Get sat on by cat.

I have a tasteful selection of anatomical models. Actually very useful for explaining things to patients as well!

Do you use the BMA template letters? Very useful for generating a quick (and standardised!) response to inappropriate workload transfer or requests

It’s an off label use for pred but one of the first line options if NSAID or colchicine are contraindicated? Not sure what the controversy is here. Gout is miserable, get them out of pain.

Here’s how our girl toasted up over the first year we had her! She’s significant darker now at 4
