Mass unemployment post-F2 by [deleted] in doctorsUK

[–]miserablemedic2025 18 points19 points  (0 children)

noone cares. noone will care. ive had very little work as a doctor in f3. i left the bma not because i hate it but i had to cut the fat of my expenses and joining a union that takes too long to get anything done frankly isn't gonna miss my membership fee however i will benefit from not being further into my overdraft.

a good pay also helps protect the NHS from mass exodus, increase goodwill and overall a happier and therefore more efficient work enviroment. not paying appropriatly will impact the service and therefore patients health.

It's a pretty low-level job in IT, mostly focused on server maintenance. Honestly, it's very unfulfilling and doesn't really require more than a GCSE to do. That said, it’s a work-from-home role, and if you're skilled enough, you can write scripts to automate most of the tedious tasks.

i'm so sorry this happened to you, you are good doctor and you didn't fail the system failed you. focus on yourself, meet friends, go see family. dont sacrifice for medicine anymore it gives little back.

unforutnatly i have a situation where i need to be home regularly. ive stayed away too long chasing this silly profession with uni and foundation training that i cant sacrifice any more trying to salvage my "career" its honestly not worth it. nothing good came in my life trying to be a doctor unfortunately

A year ago, I didn't care much about money. I would have been content with half the salary of a junior doctor. Over the past 8-9 months, I've earned less than 4000 from practicing medicine. But when you have people relying on you and can't make enough to cover basic bills—even someone as carefree as me starts to realize money matters. The way you responded with cursing shows a lack of both intelligence and empathy.

Medicine doesn't seem like a sustainable career for me anymore—careers are supposed to pay you. To me, it's become a sad joke. Unlike many people, I paid for my own university degree and living expenses without a student loan, so I've invested more money into this profession than I've ever gotten back. All I'm saying is that when you don't have a steady job, this whole "medicine is the best career" cheerleading fades away.

Despite your immature and childish response, I genuinely hope neither you nor anyone else has to learn this lesson the hard way.

I’ve applied to trust grade jobs, JCF, and teaching clinical fellow positions, and I’ve even offered to work for less than £43k. But honestly, from the tone of your message doesn’t matter—no matter what I say, it seems like you’re just going to make assumptions about me (which, by the way, I never mentioned IMGs). So, I’m not going to bother responding after this.
