i remember vividly being posted in ED resus during wave 2, in one of the worst hit hospitals, hearing fireworks at midnight 🎆 every patient in the bay was on high flow o2, & they smiled “a happy new year” at each other. by 8am handover, they had all passed. 😕

“What kind of Doctor are you?”
“Acute medic”
“So you’re a GP?”
“Nah, hospital based, a generalist. I’ll treat you if you get admitted”
“So you work in A&E?”
“Not really. Sometimes we see patients there. Think of us as the GPs of the whole hospital”
“So you’re a GP?”

My top priority throughout ongoing strikes is patient safety.
That's why we're now seeking views on expanding minimum service levels to hospital-based health services to ensure that vital care can continue through days of strike action.

i wasn’t “allowed” to be a reg for five years post CMT as i hadn’t passed PACES. that’s almost a decade after med school & £1000s in post grad exams. shoulda gone to PA school 🤷🏽♂️
“A PA would not typically go on the tier two rota for about three years.”
🤯🤦🏻♂️
They should never be on the tier two rota whatsoever.
Who carries the risk when a Dr calls this team for advice, the PA issues it and the proverbial hits the fan I wonder?!🤔

so many to chose from! how about when i wasn’t able to progress into SpR training cos i failed an exam (twice) by ONE mark, leading to MH breakdown screwing up my life, w/ memories of being grilled by “senior” clinicians on whether i was competent to treat ‘cough’ & ‘weight loss’

most of my ST4 points came from time out of training / locuming / earnings from private sector. the irony of me scoring 2nd highest in the country becos i basically quit front line NHS for a while is not lost on me 🤷🏽♂️

yep i got slapped with a £800+ portfolio bill last month (ST4 AIM) which i had to chuck on my credit card & is currently generating interest - great news as i’m about to begin a mortgage. we shouldn’t have to pay for mandatory (substandard) job related costs, full stop 🤷🏽♂️

it’s so different to even just 5 yrs ago! if u have any interest in gen med would highly advocate IMT->AIM route as post CCT options are fab. i did various fellowships pre SpR - teaching/leadership ones are usually good. private sector has options too. best of luck with it all 🤞🏽

oh i really wish some consultants would just grow up
personally i think we need to treat these incidents like sepsis - look for the early signs and treat aggressively before things get worse.
