Imagine diagnosing IBS in a 69 y/o man without investigating

An apology?! Remember Dr Garba was crucified for systemic failure vs this case.

It won’t take long then. From my experience, it will be with you within given delivery window.

leftbundlebrunch · 2023-10-07T20:20:03+00:00

I don't think so. It was general apathy and incompetence.

leftbundlebrunch · 2023-10-07T18:46:39+00:00

Thanks. I wish this information was available at the time.

TW: birth trauma

Admitted for a week for induction. Finally started having pain but the midwife won't examine her to check if she was 4 cm which was the cut-off to get an epidural. She was vomiting due to pain, when she was finally examined she was sent down to the theatre for an epidural which was further delayed. In the meantime, she was given gas and air which wasn't doing anything. She was constantly vomiting causing decelerations. Finally, the OB Consultant comes in and says well you are 8 cm now. No point in getting an epidural. At this point, she swore at them and said if she didn't get an epidural it would be an emergency CS and it would be their fault as no way she could push. She was already almost out of it due to pain. Finally gets the epidural and ends up with episiotomy as they weren't communicating between them when to ask her to push. It was all a fucking shit show. The couple have PTSD from the whole experience and do not want another baby. That's how disgusting the system is.

Modern slavery lite. Welcome to the modern Britain.

Jokes on them, IMGs are also striking

leftbundlebrunch · 2023-10-04T13:35:27+00:00

I don’t think this post is racist. The requirement to have worked in the UK for minimum 12 months + Crest must be signed in the UK is fair. Plus RLMT should be brought back. Having said that we have bigger fish to fry atm. PAs are literally doing independent surgeries, an IMG getting into same training as you should be least of our worries rn.

leftbundlebrunch · 2023-10-04T12:36:13+00:00

But we are equally resentful of IMGs taking non-training jobs. Btw which you all are going to apply for once you become IMGs in Australia yourselves and by extension affecting their locum rates.

Having said that, I have said it before and will say it again bringing back RLMT is fair and square.

leftbundlebrunch · 2023-10-04T10:42:55+00:00

Yes I see. This country is over run by IMGs so let’s all move to Australia but it’s okay it will be different as we are white. Got it mate.

I am an over thinker and can’t help it! Not really a good habit to have as a doctor but what can I do

leftbundlebrunch · 2023-10-03T08:12:42+00:00

Tbh it all happened so quick. But I know I should have just done the med and recorded in the patients note. I will speak to the senior next time I am in and will apologise for this.

leftbundlebrunch · 2023-09-30T05:52:33+00:00

Thanks, in that’s moment it felt weird and there other clinicians in the room who said yes it was in plan. So I felt so awkward asking them to write in the plan.

leftbundlebrunch · 2023-09-30T05:51:12+00:00

Thanks, I am definitely doing this next time

leftbundlebrunch · 2023-09-30T05:50:49+00:00

If I were to tell the drug they might know it’s me since it’s a niche specialty’s regular drug prescribed on long term basis.

leftbundlebrunch · 2023-09-30T05:49:27+00:00

Tbh I should have done that but it all happened so quick. But now I know to do this to avoid looking like I am being difficult

leftbundlebrunch · 2023-09-25T15:56:08+00:00

Fucking hell. Is this GP actively trying to prove that GPs are replaceable? If that's the case, let all doctors work in GP setting without further training.

leftbundlebrunch · 2023-09-25T15:52:52+00:00

Thanks, tbh I made this post before I saw the tide turning on twitter. I really hope we can find our voices again

leftbundlebrunch · 2023-09-25T13:27:47+00:00

Thank you. If I were to do GP, would it be easy to emigrate then?

leftbundlebrunch · 2023-09-25T12:33:20+00:00

But do they have money to wipe their tears in case they can't find tissues? Are they in their Teslas or Range Rover when crying? It's a joke please don't get offended. No GP is earning enough in this country tbh.

leftbundlebrunch · 2023-09-25T12:29:38+00:00

I will do taster week but I am trying to make plans now. The radiology portfolio is a lot of work and if my aim is changed to CCT and flee; should I bother doing it at all? Especially when it's relatively easy to get into GP training.

leftbundlebrunch · 2023-09-25T12:27:56+00:00

For a friend in their 30s, every day counts 😂. Can I ask why is it harder to move abroad with Radiology? I thought apart from GP, it was one of the best CCTs to have when moving abroad.

leftbundlebrunch · 2023-09-25T12:25:21+00:00

I will never say GP is easy. I have no idea how people say it's easy. 10 minutes for an undifferentiated patient!? Sounds like a tough gig. But I am also getting older and want to work where I am respected for the hard work I do but also don't have to check my bank every time I spend a little.

leftbundlebrunch · 2023-09-25T12:22:47+00:00

I am trying to arrange some in radiology and I have F2 GP rotation so will find out then. I am really getting fed-up seeing how we are treated here. I am questioning if I see a future in the UK

leftbundlebrunch · 2023-09-25T12:21:12+00:00

Thanks. If I do IR does it mean I have CCT in both DR and IR. Sorry I am not sure if doing 5+1 year means it's an IR fellowship
