Hello! Here is an age old question of what to gift for a wedding from a non muslim (25F) having been invited to attend my very close friend (also 25F)’s wedding.
This is not her Nikaah as Ive already missed that due to work commitments! They have already said no bulky gifts. I’m open to suggestions of various budgets as we have been very close.
Thanks in advance!
just found out I will be assisting in next week’s elective CS list as a new FY2 - it’s been ages since I scrubbed in to one.
I actually want to seem like I know my stuff and am surgically inclined, so will be reading up and practising my knots - however, i’m quite worried when baby first get out. I was fortunate (and unfortunate for the baby of course) to have seen some challenging c-sect births in elective so I know to suction and stimulate … but that’s about it?
so for the anaesthetists, o&g and paeds seniors, i know an o&g registrar / cons will be with me but,
- i know to stimulate and suction when baby is out, is there anything else?
- practical question: when baby is born and i hold them … i am sterile? and then when I hand baby to paeds / midwife … do I change gloves?
- any other tips or things I should know? *and should I be on the watch out for anything specifically if a cat 1 c-sect ends up in the list?
thank you!!
FY1 in acute medicine in a tertiary centre
really really anxious about my upcoming long days - medicine in this hospital is known for being a dumping ground. doesn’t help with the fact that
and ofc now im just dreading going in. so much of what i do is not medicine, and i rarely get to assess patients myself bc SHOs and regs are always around. CS is a new consultant who came here only for specialty training so sometimes i feel like they don’t get it. ES has tried to protect me as much as they can (i’m not allowed to see pt #1 but it’s not circulated department wide .. and having to explain it to oncall reg’s is just filling me with dread and fear i’ll be labelled as lazy and brittle). i try to put on a brave face at work and so far it’s working - i think.
logically i can try separating work and life but its only in this final rotation that these things seems to follow me home. i was counselled on those pt interactions and obv told to ignore and forget abt them but somehow they’re staying longer than i want to
have got long days coming up and i just can’t .. shake this fear? i’ve already thought about calling in sick but the consultant who does the rotas seems to be rly annoyed with absence rates post-ARCP, they shade us in the emails frequently and i’m just in fear i’m going to be denied leave even if i ask for it, and the guilt ofc
i guess thanks for reading and any advice … i know i should get the leave and screw this department but i feel sick at the idea of sending that email? plus after this i’ve still got to work the mon-tues before changeover and i’ve signed up to mentor new FY1s. i guess i know what people will say, and i suppose i have insight to my thoughts (unfortunately) so im not sure what the point of this post is … sorry
volunteered to be the tag-F1 / tutor for the final year assistantships after the undergrad team sent out several emails to appeal for tutors due to a shortage.
was assigned students on gastro despite me being on acute med and no gastro ward time (the gastro f1’s don’t do acute med either, in this hospital gastro ‘takes’ from surgical assessment). also wants me to come in to meet the students on their first day when I’m on AL, then says i need to arrange for someone else to come meet the students after some pushback. then wouldnt give me any of the other tutor’s contact details.
finally fed up and sent the clinical teaching fellows an email describing the situation. it’s been two days and no response. just called the undergrad team up asking for a response / direct contact with the teaching fellows, and was told on the phone i’ve been ‘removed’ as a tutor.
it’s no wonder medical education in this country is shambles. really off putting when you just want to do something to help out.
