finished fy2 in 2023 and have since been locuming at my old trust but locum market has died and i havent worked since august. i think im finally going insane from not doing anything. do i apply for training as a backup or continue looking for locum or JCF posts?

What is it called when the more you do MSRA passmed questions, the stupider you get? At least the comments section is giving me life

Oh no. Is the bear okay?

This may be an unpopular opinion but if as a society we're okay with burdening 18 year olds with high interest loans for uni then we should be okay with fully grown pensioners not getting more pension money because they failed to check what the pension rules are before retiring

I love how doctors in the US get professional headshots and get to stay at the same hospital for their training while we have to sit exams where we have to answer questions about patients sending us friend requests and relatives shouting at us

What happened during today’s vote on Kemi Badenoch's amendment? 1. MPs considered Kemi Badenoch’s amendment to the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill. The Bill includes measures like stricter home-schooling rules, funding for free breakfast clubs, and limits on branded school

Been thinking about back in med school how I told the F1 I was taking a day off placement for Eid and she berated me about it. Because as a junior, my med student could tell me they were taking the day off to go strawberry picking or watch Greys anatomy and I'd say sure have fun

Whenever I see crazy takes like this (from a boy mum too) I think back to the Incredibles and how Incrediboy became a villain because he couldn't be a Super. Oh and nice to see girls once again being blamed for boys. Throwback to my childhood.

To add to this, in the Incredibles, I also believe Buddy being a boy was crucial because if Buddy had been a girl, rejection wouldn't have turned her into a maniacal psychopath. Women don't respond to rejection by killing people.

was feeling really shitty yesterday about life but developing a sudden onset stomach bug develop at 1am has really cheered me up ngl

People.

I really want to know why it takes so long for MSRA results to come out and why you get them on a different day depending on which specialty you've applied for. Like what is the reasoning. I just need to know if I need to start looking for jobs in Aus/NZ.

In law school, during my human rights module, our lecturer discussed how human rights are a novel concept in human history and how it's going to be dismantled over the 21st century. Those girls don't know it yet but their rights are at risk. And for some, it'll look like freedom.

it's a secret so dont tell anyone cos i promised i wouldnt say anything but you can also get a silver card for $2 million you just have to look at an advert every 30 seconds or you get shot

Maybe sticking some clinipore with googly eyes and a mouth on my webcam before my anaesthetics interview was not a good idea

*add to list of reasons to leave the UK at the first available opportunity*

Ive been pronouncing whooping (cough) as 'wooping' cough all these years and just learnt its meant to be 'hooping'!!! I thought i was right lol. How does everyone else pronounce it?!?!

Prof Tom Solomon CBE I remember being your SHO, and after doing YOUR clinic I asked you to complete an assessment for my portfolio, to which you respond “no sorry I don’t do those.” If you couldn’t do that for your juniors, I doubt you’ll do much for doctors in general. DO NOT VOTE FOR THIS PERSON.

Nothing says "welcome to the nhs" like being sent your rota 3 days before starting. haven't even started this job and im already hating it

Just lost my 670 day duolingo streak thanks to being on an ED SHO rota ffs
