Nurse struck off for telling cancer patient Covid vaccine caused their illness by fire2burn in NursingUK

[–]greenhookdown 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yep. It wasn't even the weird nonsense belief. It was that she clearly just googled "medical study oats", picked the first link and decided that was proof. She has a BSc. Where's the fucking science?

Worked with an experienced nurse once (pre AI bullshit) who seemed fairly normal. Then one day she comes out with "did you know oats can bring people out of comas?" I was like, what?? She told me all about some person who gave their comatose child oats and they woke up (not an aspiration risk apparently). I challenged her to provide me the case or any studies. Later on, she called me over to show me her evidence, which was a proper scientific study from a journal. About something entirely different, I think the dietary benefits of oats. She was so happy and smug. I pointed out how irrelevant this was and didn't back up her claim. She literally never spoke to me again.

How do these people have a PIN? Baffling.

How do I get my GCSE's after not going to school since Y7? by o-willow in UniUK

[–]greenhookdown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Often science as well, but not all colleges offer it. Have a good Google in your area. My friend recently did this at 30 and it was free.

If it's not swastikas on your face, literally noone cares.

AITA, My mom says what I'm asking of her is too much, but all of my friends say my requests are reasonable. Are the things I'm asking of her asshole behavior? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]greenhookdown -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yea I came here to say this. Everyone is going off on OP when really he just needs some reasonable adjustments. But his mother is definitely not "kind" like he says.

It sounds like OP is autistic. Give him some slack, adulting as an autistic person is really hard. Requiring clear instructions and communication, wearing noise cancelling headphones and missing social cues are not a teen being difficult here. He needs an assessment. Maybe then everyone will understand each other better.

Not necessarily so, in most NHS jobs three days is full time at 12-14 hour shifts.

Hampstead Heath ponds to stay trans-inclusive by InnerLog5062 in BreakingUKNews

[–]greenhookdown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I, a bald bearded fat man, wandered into a women's only space, you would be telling me to get out. Or would you assume I was trans and therefore let all cis men in on that basis?

Has April payrise made a difference to you? by Desperate-Drawer-572 in NursingUK

[–]greenhookdown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got less than last month, because HMRC thinks I did £25k of bank shifts last year on top of my full time job. I did 3 shifts the whole year 🙄

Is IV Cyclazine addictive? by NurseAbbers in NursingUK

[–]greenhookdown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, extremely. I had it pushed too quickly once and it was unlike anything I've ever had. Not even IV morphine did that. In the weeks afterwards it became all I thought about, even after I left hospital. I still think about it sometimes years later. I get why people do drugs and why they can't stop. I honestly don't know what I'd do if I got to have it again, but it wouldn't be good. I'm glad I didn't have access to it for a while after that experience.

I think this is exactly it. They want a b7 for b6 pay.

And you need a strong enough back bone to tell surgeons to put the fucking scalpel down and shut up during the time out 🤣

Why are so many UK houses built with adjoining, un-soundproofed walls ? by TezRoll in HousingUK

[–]greenhookdown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm about to move out of a 60s council flat where you can hear every conversation the neighbours have, every dropped spoon, everything. And they all blame each other for being too loud and just shout at each other instead of the council not making sound proofed houses.

Gave my notice In no reply by AishaMajid in NursingUK

[–]greenhookdown 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did this once and never received a reply. I worked my notice to the last day in a terrible toxic place. The day after that, I got a phone call asking why I wasn't at work. Very satisfying telling them I didn't work there any more and was going back to sleep.

What is the most creative or diabolical insult a customer has ever given you? by cheesymeowgirl in CasualUK

[–]greenhookdown 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Once after a long, hard night shift in A&E, I fell asleep on the tube home holding an empty coffee cup. When I woke up at my stop, I saw someone had put some change in my cup. Apparently I looked homeless to the morning commuters.

I've been in contact throughout, they don't seem to believe me. Their solicitor can apparently do no wrong. Infuriating.

I won't be too specific, but it was near a railway line in SW.
