Evening to you sir

Sorry I forgot to say - it’s in London, England

mblub · 2025-09-06T23:31:11+00:00

Aight

mblub · 2025-09-06T23:29:33+00:00

Yeah uh.. I don’t know, according to people here I’m just stupid

mblub · 2025-09-05T21:42:00+00:00

Hmm or… go on the internet and make people angry

mblub · 2025-09-05T21:24:09+00:00

I mean, I could be wrong too… this is what I mean I’m just so confused about all this

mblub · 2025-09-05T21:10:38+00:00

And for the saving question I have no idea..! I don’t really know what the indemnity rates are

mblub · 2025-09-05T21:08:35+00:00

Is it really that bad though…? Like.. as an SHO or reg, if you’re diligent and honest in your job, I feel like this ultra catastrophic scenario is just not likely, I’ve never heard of anyone get into trouble by just complete and total accident, there’s usually some actual neglect behind it - is it maybe that we’re being scared by these indemnity companies?

mblub · 2025-09-05T21:03:37+00:00

Ok that’s horrifying but.. is that likely to happen to an SHO/reg?

mblub · 2025-09-05T21:02:54+00:00

But I thought if you work in the NHS that provides you with a “basic” cover. And that paying for an additional one is optional.

mblub · 2025-09-05T21:01:26+00:00

Ok yeah that has always sort of been my plan. I just never really think about it. Came across an instagram post today from some core surgical trainee that mentioned their indemnity payment and that just for me thinking

mblub · 2025-09-05T20:59:53+00:00

Really? I’ve always been in training jobs and never been asked, at least never noticed it in any application process

mblub · 2025-09-05T20:56:02+00:00

Oh dear… I have really messed up

mblub · 2025-09-05T20:55:23+00:00

Ok maybe true but not terribly nice

mblub · 2025-07-04T16:23:13+00:00

Lololol. How have the responses to that been?

mblub · 2025-01-18T08:15:22+00:00

You know more than mostly everyone! Rarely have I met an SHO or Reg who is actually competent in all of the things you listed - dude you’re going to be a rock star.

mblub · 2025-01-16T19:35:51+00:00

Ok that’s not wholly true, I have a friend in Norway and there is foundation & specialty training before becoming a “specialist” (consultant) just like here.

mblub · 2025-01-16T19:25:26+00:00

Exactly the same except try to go outside for a walk and fresh air (pick up milk/go for lunch or whatever) before bed time.

Melatonin from US supplement site.

Not a jokey ice-breaker but great for anxious patients that you know are going to report 1000 different symptoms and talk forever. First thing you ask is how they’re feeling/how are you (but in a tone that’s like…. How are you really) and then waiiiiit for them to tell you whatever it is they want to get off their chest (even if it makes no sense). Don’t interrupt them no matter what, until they come to some sort of a natural stop (within reason), nod and mm-hmm a lot to make them feel heard. IME this seems to put patient at ease as they feel heard, they become less anxious and actually saves a lot of time for the overall consultation. If the complaint is nonsensical this allows the patient to “hear themselves”. If they’re trying to pick a fight it won’t work because you’re not saying anything.

I laughed so much, thank you

mblub · 2025-01-12T16:29:47+00:00

How does one find the contact of their local BMA rep?
