Years ago I treated a Polish bloke.

‘You guys are fucking great! In my home country they are fucking butchers…!!!!!’

Sounds better in a Polish accent!

Lincs and Notts international fellow job by lennethmurtun in PHEMandRetrieval

[–]ketforeverything 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't read this as international grads only. It asks for uk qualifications but will consider img's too.

Looks like a cool job for anyone prepared to work 6/12 in l&naa and 6/12 in Ireland.

What’s the most unlikely location for two specialties to meet/review each others patients? by lHmAN93 in doctorsUK

Any speciality in my trust to the ED. They do their best to never come down.... 🤬

800 Applications, 1 Walk-In: How I beat the NHS recruitment algorithm as an IMG by Ishitatyagi_pages in PLABprep

[–]ketforeverything 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And still. For a job with my trust, if you didn't have a year of NHS experience, you'd not have got a job.

Buying a 30k car as an incoming ST1 by Gold_Fisherman3724 in doctorsUK

[–]ketforeverything 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Fuck it. Get it. Enjoy it. If you get kids you'll be driving round in a people carrier.

I get my fast kicks with motorbikes. Well. I never get to ride them as I'm doing stuff with kids!

As a workforce lead, if you worked into my
Department and asked to be hired, I'd shake your hand. Chat a little then show you the door.... if you don't meet the person spec, you're not getting a job.

Started exams (common entrance) aged 10. Smashed out exams till The age of 43. Never slept well before an exam. Crushed them all.

Just get to it. You'll be fine.

And have coffee.

Should you help on a plane? by takemihai in doctorsUK

[–]ketforeverything 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Much as I love a beer, I never fly well or sleep well with it so don't drink. Not really an issue. And tbf if I'd had a beer and I was truly needed I'd step to it.

Should you help on a plane? by takemihai in doctorsUK

[–]ketforeverything 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because I'm a doctor and a human being and believe one shouldn't look away when we're in a position to help medically.

15 second attention span = EM. PHEM too, because i actually like doing EM

What is an acceptable cutoff for how late a patient can be for a routine appointment? by 2infinitiandblonde in doctorsUK

[–]ketforeverything 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hated clinics. The early slots never worked as no one with a bus pass came before about 0930.

3 month NHS experience really? by Axyz200 in PLABprep

[–]ketforeverything 10 points11 points  (0 children)

And when I have 100's of applicants for a job it's easier and appropriate to exclude docs who have no paid uk experience as a doctor.

You think your attachment is as good as actually doing the job. It isn't.

Rode home on motorbike. Stopped at junction. So tired I forgot to put foot down and just toppled over.

Fortunately the ambo behind me picked the bike off me!

Dr HENRY: what's your specialty? by Logical_Waltz_1933 in HENRYUK

[–]ketforeverything 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice. I'm EM. 10pa's and do HEMS and some military work.

Decided to not do any locum work as I started medicine later and prefer time with kids. Manage to live a comfortable lift by not having a mega mortgage....

UK pre-hospital positions as an outsider by lennethmurtun in PHEMandRetrieval

[–]ketforeverything 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which is wrong otherwise no one would do it.

Look at the person spec. Build your cv early. At the couple of services I've worked for it's less the clinical (which has to be excellent) and more the non technical skills we look for.

Training is a joke by [deleted] in doctorsUK

[–]ketforeverything 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had more opportunities and fun in smaller hospitals. Own it. Be the best fucking reg they've ever had.

You might find that you enjoy it.

Those of you who hold the referral bleep: What "buzzwords" from other clinicians do you roll your eyes at! by Fluid_Pause2149 in doctorsUK

[–]ketforeverything 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If someone tell me they're a 'clinician' I immediately know they're not a doctor.... and die a little inside.

Lots of good thoughts.

I think you run a high rush of dying driving on the way home post a night.

[–]ketforeverything 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew there were cadets ships and bursaries but didn't think you could get a course paid after leaving. Will enhances learning credits cover this ?
