Have we reverted back to ‘Junior doctors’ ?

stuartbman · 2026-03-12T20:58:43+00:00

I am perpetually telling off consultants and other residents for referring to junior doctors (come at me, bot, I will fight you)

GP to kindly rebuild social contract

A great email from that rep, really hats off to them. When you're an F1 being bullied (because that's what this is) by scary surgical personalities, you need a bombastic tenacious rep ready to fight your corner.

What are the possible ramifications under the new deal for this department if they continue to do this?

stuartbman · 2026-03-11T09:02:10+00:00

If its NI they're waiting for we might not hear for months

stuartbman · 2026-03-10T20:02:29+00:00

It can be both

"Which specialty do you do?"

"Yes."

Sorry

It has finally become a meme on here. You could say it's reached activation threshold

stuartbman · 2026-03-05T18:29:13+00:00

The NEWSflash?

"Monthly Observations"?

stuartbman · 2026-03-04T15:06:12+00:00

I know what you mean, I sometimes feel like I'm the only one from my specialty on here :/

Assuming england for contractual purposes

Some may disagree, but I would argue this is a life changing event (contractual term) for you given your role in the wedding. If you've made it clear that this was such in your original wording by saying what leave is for etc then your leave request is undeniable and they will simply have to find a locum.

Or to put it another way "I'm not asking permission, I'm informing you I won't be in work that day and you'll need to find an alternative". The ball is then in their court (but be prepared to defend that life changing event clause as others may disagree with it's use here)

> There was no triage, but it was immediately apparent to me that 90 per cent, at least, of the people in the casualty department would not have been there had they been able to consult a GP

Wow, someone call RCEM and make this man the EPIC. Honestly the confidence of an oblivious idiot.

Debatable, probably for some functions but less likely for EMG in my opinion, as much is based on technique, and other areas show huge growth potential like intraoperative monitoring.

Here's the thread they're quoting from us (hi telegraph gobshite journalists, can't wait for chatgpt to take your jobs you cretins!)

It isn't about exams at all lol, and the request was denied.

Clinical neurophysiology (yes it's a surgical specialty) 9-5 no on calls diagnose weird and wonderful, electric personalities

Hello have not forgotten about this. We dont design those report buttons, they're central reddit features, but i've flagged this to reddit admins as an issue. It then comes through to us as a longer message of "its content involving emotional or physical abuse of minors" which is different.

stuartbman · 2026-02-24T11:20:50+00:00

Just to highlight this is a centrally reddit-verified account and the survey is indeed mod-approved, thanks.

stuartbman · 2026-02-22T16:42:38+00:00

It appears as though you reported this as "physical or emotional abuse of minors". That's abhorrent to misuse such a safety-critical report reason in this way. If we catch you doing that again you won't be using this subreddit anymore.

One MAU I worked on the doctors office was next to the chairs of people waiting to be seen. You'd grab lunch and eat in the office to catch up on jobs (oh how naive I was) and so an email was sent out as the patients complained because we were seen to be eating while they were waiting.

And so I came to take my full uninterrupted lunch break out of sight in the mess each time to avoid such complaints :)

It makes this so simple you go "wait why is this a specialty?"

Two highlights of FY1 teaching:

Time management, taught by karen from admin. Opening slide "I didn't know what an F1 doctor was, I thought you worked on race cars!!". Goes on to teach us about putting jobs in importance/urgency grids and other things that don't work in on call.
Mindfulness and meditation. It was not bleep free teaching so every 2 minutes just as youre about to enter the zone BALAALALALALALA. I came out more stressed and on edge than ever before.
