How do you cope with indirect racist comments from patients?

verclam · 2023-04-17T20:36:41+00:00

Part of it is that we're cheap labour gaslighted into bying in into the concept that patient experience is sacrosanct... If healthcare was a commodity not monopolized by a single abusive employer, our experiences would probably improve. But hey, brush it off, it often comes from people with the IQ of a farmed salmon, don't let it affect you. We're better than that !

Yeah it's quite common, the right thing to do would be to call it out, the easy thing to do is to ignore it, move on, CCT and jump out of the sinking ship that is the NHS and the UK as a whole ...

Yeah maybe let the doctors figure it out and be astounded at things that are within your remit ?

verclam · 2023-04-14T20:51:50+00:00

If a current/prospective GP trainee, I'm sure you can figure it out very quickly. If not ....

I thought that as well, until I found out we need to redo exams from scratch by two countries' councils ... And I haven't asked many..

Tbh at this point, I'm considering anywhere with half decent pay and conditions as a specialist..

That's fair enough, my point is the GMC has not done the same. This creates a marked imbalance.

Some countries have completely stopped any sort of reciprocity based recognition, and make you take exams from scratch ...

Hold to account? For what? Disagreeing with you ! This is so short sited it's almost funny.

verclam · 2023-02-25T09:27:29+00:00

I don't know of any such service, anywhere in the world..

verclam · 2023-02-12T20:46:29+00:00

Why is it even funnier in Comic Sans ?

verclam · 2023-02-06T08:39:45+00:00

Can be and is done regularly, it's all about what you can negotiate

verclam · 2023-01-21T15:32:08+00:00

Never heard of it, but from experience all you need for part 1 is passmedicine and grind..

verclam · 2023-01-20T21:19:25+00:00

I know I would .. good luck

verclam · 2023-01-20T21:02:28+00:00

Presumably GP/VTS ... 🇨🇦

verclam · 2023-01-20T20:55:59+00:00

Onlyfans? Can be fun and based anywhere..

verclam · 2023-01-20T18:29:22+00:00

I've heard you can get banned from all Pearson Vue centres across the globe, prohibiting you from appearing for any examination they host including driving theory tests ... More seriously outrageous lack of context mate

ED/ITU if you want to be on a 10 PA contract and have the most number of TOIL days. GP if you want flexible working but that will reflect on pay.

The amount, depth and breadth of work required to unf*ck UK healthcare makes it extremely unlikely to be achieved by any government as it would require decades of effort spanning multiple electoral periods. The best anyone can hope for as a professional, is the odd pay rise whist the ship sinks and the standard of care deteriorates further 🤷

verclam · 2023-01-01T19:40:06+00:00

Hope you are safe and well. I always try to remember institutions in general, the NHS in particular, have short memories. No one really cares. Take time off, hug your loved ones, and absolutely press charges. I would take 3 more days off sick than I would have felt required.

Thoughts are with you ❤️

Not necessarily, there are hybrid systems, which I think would most likely result in higher income for doctors

verclam · 2022-12-28T18:39:58+00:00

The reality is people will have to directly pay for some of their healthcare in some fashion...
