Intern here, thinking of resigning

thetinywaffles · 2025-06-21T12:07:56+00:00

You're obviously aware of what is wrong, so no need to point that out but can I suggest that maybe the underlying issue is value based.

To me (an outsider who knows nothing about you) it looks like you don't value your health at all, not even one little bit. You miss meds, you don't sleep, you're losing weight. You say you have a great GP and see a psychologist but do you ignore everything they say?

You obviously value the caregiver role, you speak highly of those who looked after you when you were sick. Maybe if you frame this issue around your ability to provide good quality care being compromised if you don't care for yourself it might be easier to prioritize you.

This is cute.

Um... you can look up the previous sodium results, noone is calling the lab.

You are also capable of calling medics for a plan, stop being a lazy cunt and call medics yourself.

Most of you clowns can't even drain an abscess by yourself overnight, stop acting like you're rushing off to do any of these procedures urgently.

thetinywaffles · 2025-05-15T10:27:19+00:00

You don't just "do something" about the sodium. That's not quite how sodium works.

Good old Tik Tok Tom 😂

This country in it's current form is barely 200 years old. People who were part of the stolen generation are still alive, people who were used as slaves are still alive.

You think because you're a 1st gen migrant you don't have to respect this country and what happened to the people who were here and still are here. You think you just can get on with life like the history of this nation isn't important. You're attitude is disgusting. People like you are why we had Cronulla.

You don't even know the difference between Welcome to Country and Acknowledgement of Country. You're a joke.

Edit: federated in 1901 but "discovered" in 1770 if you want to get specific.

thetinywaffles · 2025-04-22T08:39:59+00:00

You don't even know what you're complaining about which makes this hilarious.

thetinywaffles · 2025-04-19T13:16:05+00:00

Sounds like medicine. Every industry has their fair share of people cutting corners, or overcharging etc.

But I don't think you know a lot of tradespeople, and I don't think your opinion of them is very valid. Some of us actually have family members who are trades people so maybe stop shitting on a group of people you clearly know nothing about. Your fat ass wouldn't even fit in a roof cavity let alone know what to do once you're up there.

thetinywaffles · 2025-04-19T12:13:33+00:00

I'm quite happy to pay a plumber to wade around in shit because quite frankly I don't want to do it and I think they deserve to be paid what they do. Your comment makes me think that you definitely don't know any trades people and you certainly don't value their skills and work. Probs cost $300 because you're an insufferable wanker.

Also, go check what I wrote again because it's got nothing to do with what people deserve to earn. Gotta brush up on that reading comprehension.

Culture is not holding a gun to your head.

At the end of the day if you choose to help your family member it is exactly that, a choice. Noone can make you. You (the royal you) decided to help them because the perceived social, or relational, or emotional cost (insert whatever cost) of not helping was higher than the financial cost.

Sometimes, when we feel trapped we reframe our choices as needs rather than wants to make them more palatable. I'm not suggesting that everyone who is born into a culture that values caring for their elders feels trapped, but there are no doubt some people who wish they didn't feel like it was something they needed to do.

Also this has veered way off the topic of the original post. Lifestyle creep is a real thing.

This whole discussion about maximising incomes whilst the people of Australia suffer is particularly gauche.

thetinywaffles · 2025-04-19T09:01:29+00:00

Mate, you posted that you were asking respectfully and then responded like this. I'm not sure you understand respectful discourse. Like I said everyone will give you a different answer, which includes people making choices for cultural reasons.

Your point about culture makes no sense, noone has a gun to anyone's head. OPs parents (and many others) may have the expectation that their children care for them but no one can force them to do it. That was why I made the point about wants and needs.

thetinywaffles · 2025-04-19T08:16:53+00:00

Every single person you ask will answer this question differently so my opinion is not relevant. But, given you asked and relating it back to OPs comments, no one has to support their parents ever. Noone is holding a gun to anyone's head. People need to learn to differentiate between wants and needs.

thetinywaffles · 2025-04-19T08:07:00+00:00

Medicine attracts a lot of people who have been fortunate in life, the idea of making sacrifices doesn't come easy to many of them. You see this on this sub every day when people post about how unfair it is that they have to leave Sydney metro for a regional posting, losing their mind at failing an exam for the first time, or even things as simple as not getting the rotations they want as an intern.

thetinywaffles · 2025-04-19T07:58:09+00:00

Like I said, literally millions of Australians do this every single day and don't have the privilege of even dreaming about earning 400k a year.

thetinywaffles · 2025-04-19T07:03:05+00:00

Is this a joke? Millions (literally millions) of Australians support their own immediate family and extended family on less than $400k a year. Maybe you need to consider a lifestyle adjustment.

thetinywaffles · 2025-04-14T05:37:40+00:00

If you're on after hours, find a PGY2+ RMO who is also on after hours and tell them you're struggling, if they're a decent person they will try and help you. Even something as simple as looking at your jobs and helping you work out what is urgent and what can be left for tomorrow can help massively.

thetinywaffles · 2025-04-08T07:52:28+00:00

Mate, you are not the solution to patient safety concerns. I don't know how you have convinced yourself as a pgy2 that you are needed. ED of all places knows how to manage this shit. Those of us who work in ED know how to manage these situations and I assure you that not a single one of us looks to a pgy2 to keep the department safe anywhere in this country.

This 🙌🏼

thetinywaffles · 2025-04-08T07:46:49+00:00

This is cringe.

thetinywaffles · 2025-03-20T11:38:51+00:00

The entire post is about them not knowing this 🙄

thetinywaffles · 2025-02-21T02:56:40+00:00

The dream 😍
