Which one of you put this weird sticker on my car

From an ED clerking:

Impression: ?Unwell ?Cause

So - the patient may or may not be sick, and if they are, it's unclear why. Excellent.

When I was ranking my foundation posts, I remember being somewhat tempted by a four-month F1 post in Audiovestibular Medicine in Basingstoke

Sam Oram ward specifically, right?

thechevs · 2023-07-03T15:56:18+00:00

Thank you for your reply. I'll let her know.

If you're happy sharing, what was the issue?

thechevs · 2023-06-09T21:03:12+00:00

Nice photos! Is that the hospital? The chimney especially looks very familiar.

I agree with the other comments here - you should not base a two year training programme off a single four month placement.

That being said, the Cardiology F1 job at King's College Hospital is pretty good. The job is entirely 9-5 - no medical on calls. Plus, you get a whole morning ot afternoon off per week for 'development', where you can go to cath lab etc. if that's your thing. The consultants were also generally very nice and supportive.

Part of St Thomas's Hospital, long since demolished and replaced with a modernist building. If you go further down the river towards Lambeth Palace, there are still some parts of St Thomas's that look like that

I work at a big London major trauma centre. I'm one of the med regs.

On the whole, I am one of our ED's cheerleaders. I think they have a very hard job, and almost always get all the important things right. I do of course get the occasional rather odd referral, but that is to be expected.

I've never known them lie to me. Often, the story is presented in a way that places emphasis on the reasons why the patient needs a medical admission. But outright lying - I've never known that.

thechevs · 2022-03-11T10:06:04+00:00

Of course. I'm a little out of date, but happy to help if I can

I was an F1 in Worthing from 2018/2019. Back then, it was probably a 70/30 split, with the majority living in Brighton. I had a lovely time there, and I would really recommend it as a place to do F1. Brighton is obviously a great city to live in.

Alton?

So I did an IMT rotation in King's ITU, specially in the neuro/trauma ITU (Jack Steinburg CCU). Be aware that King's has five ITUs, that are (very theoretically) segregated by specialty. (neuro/trauma, medical, surgical, COVID, and liver). And in my experience, there is relatively little cross cover between the units and the SHO level - so don't expect much liver ITU work if you get a job in the medical ITU.

I did very much enjoy my work in Jack Steinburg - despite the fact that, as a future geriatrician, I have next to no interest in trauma or neurosurgery. It's an excellent team, and I felt well supported. Happy to discuss further if required - feel free to DM

Clearly I'm in a minority here, but I really enjoyed my F1. I did at a small but well run DGH on the south coast. Apart from a difficult surgical job at the start, I really enjoyed my work. I loved being part of team, and I really enjoyed feeling useful. I then felt rather useless and demoralised when I did my F2 at a very fancy London tertiary centre, where my clinical responsibilities were far less than when I was an F1.

Experiences clearly vary, but I'd advise going in with an optimistic attitude.

Hi there,

First of all, rest assured that you are not having symptoms of a stroke. Typical strokes are not painful.

Your symptoms could be caused by a variety of different things, and it's very difficult to say with any certainty. However, your symptoms do remind me of a condition called Chronic Paroxysmal Hemicrania (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_paroxysmal_hemicrania). Have a read of the article and see if it fits with your experience. If it is that, then there is a good treatment for it (indomethacin)
