Current FY3 here. I've noticed that within just a couple of shifts, regs and consultants seem to work out who they can trust to get on with things independently vs whose work they feel they need to double-check more closely.
What are your green and red flags you pick up on early?
We hear plenty about toxic colleagues - let’s hear about the good ones.
Who are the colleagues you’ve worked with who make work interesting, engaging, or even… fun?
I worked with a great group on a medical job a few years ago and became friends outside of the rotation- had great banter, used to play pranks on eachother. Sadly it’s hard to meet up now everyone’s scattered across the country.
Who have you worked with that made you genuinely look forward to coming in?
Who’s your silly work crush you’d never actually act on, but who brightens up your day when you bump into them?
Gastroenterologist who gives you butterflies in your stomach? Echocardiographer who makes your heart flutter? Or perhaps the hospital barista who‘s a tall drink of water.

By unteachable I don’t mean lacking knowledge or confidence. I mean someone who seemed resistant to any feedback, poor sense of responsibility, lack of insight despite repeated support/interventions.
How did you address it? Did they improve over time?
