First-year consultant here, 10 PAs, mostly outpatient-based specialty and on-call frequency a lot less than as a reg 1 year ago - around 2-3 weekends a year and off-site overnight on call every 2 months or so. Pretty varied work with clinic, subspec and general, DGH inreach/referrals, triage. It is more flexible but it is harder and I'm working late most nights to keep on top of admin.

Just before the recent small pay bump we got I was amazed to see my normal monthly net was actually just shy of £5k (curse you plan 2 student loan!), only just over that now the increase has been applied.

Spoke to one of our regs who replied they're now on around £5.5k/month net! Of course they do more OOH on calls (I was doing them last year, around 1 x 24/hr on call a week and 1:8 weekends).

I'm glad regs (and all resident doctors) are being more fairly remunerated but I think this just highlights even more the issue with consultant pay, taking on all the responsibility for even less money!

I don't know how I managed this back in the PS2 days... I'm starting with about 80% health, full purple orbs, level 2 buraitou, senpumaru and armour, level 1 ice spear.

Some people recommend wind as she's weaker to it, but it seems to me , but buraitou seems to do more damage per hit than senpumaru?

Also what's the most high yield way to utilise my Oni transformation? Spam triangle with projectiles? Wherever I try and unload hits on her with square she just blocks them with that umbrella.

Nearly all my frustration is just from being eternally locked into blocking while she spams her stupid projectile attack which then knocks me back.
