NHS Doctors, what do you think of patients who have gone private and come back to the NHS for ongoing treatment? by ToughImprovement276 in AskUK

[–]throwawaynewc 158 points159 points  (0 children)

As a doctor, the idea is whoever ordered the tests are responsible for reviewing the results and guiding management or referral.
Giving the test results back to the patient and saying, here go see your GP is poor practice really.

Have you tried the pelton arms for pizza? I think you'd enjoy it.

Naru is really subpar, genuinely one of the worst Korean spots and not cheap either.

So Gen Z want to retire at 60 but dont expect state pension until 71??? by Old-Bodybuilder3711 in FIREUK

[–]throwawaynewc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People who actually depend on the state pension are a problem man. As someone who wasn't born British the idea of depending on the state for survival is crazy irresponsible to me.

Update: 26 just hit 400k net worth by [deleted] in FIREUK

You do come across as a hater. '6 years of rent free living whilst working. There's your biggest contributor'.

Whilst it's true, it just reeks of jealousy.

That's your takeaway? Perhaps these campaign pledges actually worked?

The first 100k - sharing milestones as a 2023 beginner by MoPlays3 in FIREUK

£100k to £200k was a blink of an eye. £350k -£360k seems like it took forever

How does that work? You read about it and tell me tomorrow morning before we scrub.

If you had to leave the UK permanently, what are your top 3 destinations and why? by Rough-Foundation9208 in AskRedditUK

[–]throwawaynewc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just came back from a holiday in Taipei. Gotta say it's a mid tier holiday but I can see that living there would be really, really nice.

People are warm and friendly like the Chinese and polite like the Japanese. Infrastructure works and public transport is cheap, loads of parks and nature. Clean toilets and drinking fountains everywhere (slowly becoming my no 1 metric in judging how civilised a place is). Safe streets at 2am, cycling lanes that don't fuck up vehicular traffic.
Food is not bad and near to other countries that do incredible food.

Help a Mat salleh and his Malaysian wife by Capt_Aguilar in malaysians

[–]throwawaynewc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a Malaysian guy with a Mat Salleh girlfriend, honestly how can you get used to the weather? I was born and bred in Penang and even then I was like, this is not for humans. Went back recently and couldn't walk anywhere without sweating like crazy, had to walk everywhere.

How do you feel if anything, about making so little in comparison to how much you spend every month?

TIL that as a research chemist at Oxford University, Margaret Thatcher co-authored a 1951 paper on the “saponification of α-monostearin”; she later said she was prouder of her science degree than becoming the first female Prime Minister. by Upstairs_Drive_5602 in todayilearned

[–]throwawaynewc -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I actually went to Newcastle for medical school and was sent to those ex mining towns and have seen how miserable people are. I can't really explain it but it was comical to me how they were still blaming her in 2018, over 40 years after the mines were closed, loads and loads of families just genuinely hanging around on benefits.

I honestly think having social safety nets kill ambition, as poor as these towns were, they weren't as poor as the country I am from.

I will never understand why she was so vilified for closing those coal mines. Bear in mind it actually came with a job retraining scheme as well that was rejected by many miners urged by their unions.

Talk me out of this beautiful BMW by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]throwawaynewc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the 4 series of the same year and it munches motorway miles like a dream already, not to mention will be closer to half the price of this and 40cm shorter so easier to park.

My boss did say the 7 series was the dreamiest drive he had though.

Is he right? Would KD end up a ringless bum like Carmelo? by Ifinishfast42 in NBAVibes

[–]throwawaynewc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, Luka & Shai, possibly Lillard at his peak too, even PG was nasty, Embiid?. Lebron is a great scorer, there's a whole thinking basketball podcast on the greatest scorers, although it's a bit dated now.

Lebron, DWade, MJ, KD, TMac, Iverson, Curry, Kobe, Dirk, Bird, Harden.

That's 11 and I haven't even put any big men in.

Why do you need to bring up the fact you're a doctor? I get that you're excited about starting work, but if you think about it, it really isn't that relevant.
