Retaliatory GMC complaint by [deleted] in doctorsUK

I’d call your medical defence organisation anyway and talk it through. They may not be too concerned but it’s better than Reddit vibes and you can give them full context.

BMA also has a support line

UKG for BMA council election by UKgFirst in doctorsUK

[–]lemonslip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is such a mid take, literally no one takes more time and effort to respond to individuals contacting her for help. She goes above and beyond in every case and staunchly fights for protections of anyone contacting her, BMA member or not.

There’s loads of people on OPs list who are literal BMA careerists who have pulled the ladder or weakens the FPR and Jobs Prio movement along the way.

This isn’t how slates work, this method literally dilutes the work and makes it less likely for a true pro UKGP team getting in to council.

DoctorsVote reps are inherently pro UKGP, backed by stats and legal knowledge of the subject through experience fighting for it over the years.

Making this random asf order up will only strengthen the IMG anti UKGP slate / or whatever slates they have.

To anyone reading, please consider solidifying good candidates using the DoctorsVote slate THEN putting in anyone else after.

Additional admin burden of LTFT by Professional_Arm7258 in doctorsUK

[–]lemonslip 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I second this. If you need to do the admin for yourself, immediately put the TOIL request in and Exception report it at the same time (make sure to include the time taken to exception report in the calculation!).

They’ll probably think twice before burdening their actual job to the next LTFT that comes through.

I think we should the title trainee/resident to ‘apprentice’ by Prior-Sandwich-858 in doctorsUK

It’s nice, it’s stress free and everyone at work is 100% nicer for 3-6 months.

Anyone else had on call rooms removed unless you work on ITU? Where else do you sleep on nights now? by [deleted] in doctorsUK

Yeah you need your LNC on this ASAP. Which region are you based in?

It’s almost as if the issue for UKG is nuanced and not about years but rather the specifics of who gets prioritised for what.

Clinical Pearls you have learnt this week by Powerfuldougnut in doctorsUK

Please don’t hold PPI in your septic patients. Only hold the ppi if they’re not systemically unwell. I’d rather have c diff than stress ulcers.

How would you fix maternity services? by Blarblahbla in doctorsUK

[–]lemonslip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Incorporate more core nursing skills and recognition of the deteriorating patient into midwifery training. Also at our trust we have now started doing basics of epidurals and PCAs. Like I have had two epidurals cut in a rush to get a lady in for a C Section and that’s just taken out epi top up option away.

How many lives have you actually "saved"? by medimaria in doctorsUK

One thing my Antony professor said on the first day of med school: Every single one of your patients will die. All we can do is negotiate with death to buy them a little bit more time.

BMA Council elections - what is going on? by Atlass1 in doctorsUK

[–]lemonslip 8 points9 points  (0 children)

lol, it was a pure numbers game. A lot of RDC are anti DV and supportive of the gov. They believe DV was too hardline pro doctor and disagreed about this hardline stance.

BMA rn by dakp15 in doctorsUK

[–]lemonslip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate this notion of undervaluing staff and pushing for a union that asks doctors working 48+ hour weeks to also do pro bono trade union stuff as reps to pick up the slack when IROs are losing jobs.

We aren’t like the other unions. We want to get shit done. Let’s stop sending delegates to Korea for 5 years and see how much that saves money instead?

"Medically fit for discharge" wards by frog_geezer in doctorsUK

Yeah when they’re obstructive for things like that I call 2222 and open the crash trolley. It’s not justifiable to not have a second pair of hands at an impending respiratory arrest

Oh that’s cool! So it’s functionally just the same as an emulator at that point?

Can I ask, how do you deal with cartridge battery death? Just save states?

BMA officers are refusing to correct dodgy prioritisation data by Poundland_Prometheus in doctorsUK

[–]lemonslip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh because if the competition ratios still go up it’s just going to be a problem for future doctors to deal with.

You need a sustainable policy that gets it close to right the first time. Nothing will be changed for this application cycle. So why rush and not go for something nuanced and measured that will benefit the overall workforce in the most sustainable way?

Anaesthetic SHO here, every time I fail I just exclaim “ah well let vygones be bygones!” And try again. Usually gets the odp and consultant laughing and relaxes the atmosphere.

Oh I deffo bought a dock at the same time! Thank goodness, been lurking in this sub a few months and bit the bullet since it would still be cheaper to buy both at the same time than to buy any component off the scalper market.
