putting this here so i can refer back to it when a disconnected retired dinosaur says i have it easy x
Well said. This is rough & ready but useful I think!
i’m ngl i rip off the lids on plastic bottles, idgaf that turtles in the ocean can’t shag, it’s pure sensory nightmare feeling the plastic lid smack my nose - i bin the whole thing dw but come ON
can we please stop measuring healthcare with patient satisfaction and appointments delivered only lol this isn’t customer service, where’s the healthcare outcomes man
soooo if we can’t get paid properly but student loans could be forgiven, doesn’t that raise questions about whether student loans should exist xxxx and that applies to all students too, irrespective of career
also i’m ngl im a bit fed up of ppl completely overlooking what our job entails, and how they genuinely think an FY1 cannot make decisions at all, and can’t even prescribe apparently 😭😭
A dr on TikTok posted her payslip saying she earned £2.5k after tax and the comments?? One said she’s being greedy and another said £2.5k is a lot of money.
any time a mixed-race couple appears on here there’s some absolute loser crying about “race-mixing”??? behold, the Ideal Optimised Human Couple according to these absolute buffoons xx

i acc hate having ADHD sometimes i swear i get lost in a trance hyperfixating work for literal hours and it’ll feel like a few seconds like come ON
me: writes stereotypical question on asthma: young adult, wheeze, atopy history, dry cough, worse when cold and during the summer etc. etc. mfs in the passmed comments for literally no reason - WHERE DID THIS COME FROM???

it’s so cringe seeing mfs be like “@ Gonk immigrants and foreigners are evil crime-committing people right? (say that they are please)” and then continue @ ing it with loaded questions in the hopes it affirms their dense beliefs - they’ll go on for ages and then give up
imagine bussing out a lamb karahi curry and scranning it w your hands in this room, the chaos that would ensue 🤤
Is the most soul cringingly thing you’ve ever seen? This is REFORM! There isn’t one person younger than 68. Reform is for miserable old codgers looking backwards rather than forwards. A nationalist nostalgia party.
this has to be fake surely not 😭😭😭 how tf are we pissing away so much money that this needs to be done??? something doesn’t add up 😭
You trust them with your life - the NHS charges them to rest. Doctors working overnight, caring for the sick and saving lives, are now being charged just to access a place to rest. What kind of system treats its staff like this? The NHS runs on doctors’ sacrifices, but refuses…
as much as i whinge about the systemic failings of the NHS, i’m v glad and thankful for my hospital i work at and the teams im with
i’m scared for when the day comes where I’m tagging an airline company on here and bollocking them ngl 🤯
i wonder what brainrot gets to some consultants on here that makes them think the holy grail of patient care is meeting turnover and service targets at the expense of your trainee colleagues, and i hope i never end up getting it
there’s too many ppl that are like “today’s doctors are too soft 😡” but also fell into their training to be a consultant and have no guts to stand up for future doctors and if anything, undermine them to make their own lives easier - that’s what sounds soft to me ngl, weaklings
