Nice way to end the year - finding out my medical-inspired psychological #horror 'The Mare' has ended up on @barnstormmedia Short List.
Next year I'm finding this guy a home and writing his sequel 😈
My personal favourite was being reported to the ward manager for eating toast in an office on the ward.
The apparent issue was that patients could see me eating. The reason? Our office, despite our multiple objections, had no door...
Overworked, underpaid, and subjected to unnecessary hostility. An NHS doctor was prevented from accessing the ward kitchen for a simple glass of tap water.
It’s no surprise so many doctors are leaving for countries where they’re valued, respected, and treated with basic dignity.
Unnecessary and inflammatory take. This highlights the lack of respect afforded to FY1s and how those who haven't done the role have no idea what it entails.
Hope you enjoyed stirring the pot from your anonymous account though - courageous and ultimately really beneficial 👍
Congratulations on the most ridiculous internet take I've seen for a long time.
I hope you're doing something positive vocationally that even comes close to being a doctor.
(Being a Twitter troll doesn't count, btw)
I don't mean to be rude, but why do you say 'we put people on CPAP'? Your job role, undeniably important, has literally nothing to do with decision-making regarding ventilation.
I wasn't prepared for how hard revising for exams at 36 with two kids would be.
Today I found out (on my second go!) I passed PACES.
So much patience from my wife, so much help from hospital consultants (thanks so much, @gopi_doc!)
Excuse me while I go cry 🙂
Will @gmcuk change their name since by their own admission, PAs don't study medicine?
Or are we just all cool with the new nomenclature despite the recent and unprecedented changes?
Just curious - how many resident doctors 'get called a couple of times a night' and spend their on-calls sleeping?
It terrifies me that in this day and age, and with all the information out there, this is still what some people believe
Why nit tell the full story or did the briefing note not give that. A doctor is paid to be on call and might get called a couple of times during the night. He or she is more
Likely to be asleep during part of their shift. PAs do not work overnight shifts.
Do you think this is helpful? Hell, I basically agree with you, but do you seriously think the way you worded your message will impact positively on someone to help them make a different decision?
