2. Nurses are top bants & impressively tough. I can’t fathom what keeps them going. They cardiovert you, intubate, perform CPR, administer IV meds, yet paid literal peanuts. I’ve seen some patients treat them terribly (& then switch to best behaviour when the doc walks in).

5. You aren’t paid your worth in healthcare. £1800/month for my hours isn’t enough to keep me here. Apply the same time, energy & training to other fields, and you’d see 10x the return. There’s easier ways to earn £1800 without 7+ years of training/exams/sweat/nightshifts.

It's a seductive belief that we are the ONE anomaly with an abnormal metabolism, and that must be why we aren't reaching our weight goals. The data says what is overwhelmingly likely is that you are mistracking. A slippery biscuit here, a drizzle of oil there.

10. There is a weird taboo around financial incentives in healthcare, as if its somehow exempt from the laws of supply and demand (see below). Yet it would solve the discharge letter problem instantly. A fiver would do it. Hey, even a parking pass.. or lunch.

Big response, thank you. To clarify: - I still love NHS: leaving because other projects need my attention. - The comment about salary rustled some jimmies. £1800 is NET & I don’t mean to seem ungrateful. It’s a good, secure living. But CHUNKY tuition debts & the ROI is low.
