Hiya
Any recommendations for barbers who are good with slightly longer hair and good with scissor work?
Trying to do a flow hairstyle.
I normally always get a skin fade so this is new for me and my usual barbers are good with fades but not much else.
Would love any recommendations
Thank you!
Obviously this is just a local election and so irrelevant at this time but if hypothetically reform wins the next general election in a couple years, how do you guys imagine the NHS will look under them?
Do we think farage would commit to privatisation in this hypothetical scenario?
We all know he’s in love with the American healthcare model but given how the NHS is the pride and joy of British culture I don’t see it being an easy change to enact even with majority.
I think most of his supporters are focused on immigration and probably haven’t bothered to read the rest of his policies, but if they did I’d be surprised if most of them were okay with healthcare being privatised.
Privatisation is also a very vague concept, can mean different things depending on how it’s implemented.
In this imaginary scenario How do we think the NHS would be
I don’t think reform winning general elections is likely but just posting out of curiosity.
I expect ppl will (hopefully) see them fluff about in local councils and not achieve half the things they say they will and realise they’re incompetent.
All the leaflets I’ve had to my door from them about the local elections are about immigration but as a local council they can’t even impact immigration policies 😅
Interested to hear peoples thoughts
How do people manage to stay consistent with gym on a heavy on call rotation?
I aim to go 3-5x per week but usually if I’m on call for the week I’ll just not have the motivation to go after a 13hr shift. Will normally end up just trying to go gym on the weekend/zero day before and after the on call week
Any tips/advice?
Hello everyone
Foundation Doctor here
Since University I’ve always been planning on pursuing ophthalmology, it seemed like the most incredible surgery to me and also has good work life balance, pp, run through training etc etc
I’ve been preparing my portfolio for a while so I think I’ll have a food application.
Since starting work I’ve been falling in love with so many other areas of medicine too and now I’m questioning if I’ll miss the rest of the body should I commit to ophthal.
I’ve had other surgical jobs and loved them, I’ve spent time in ICU and really loved that too although I think that’s probably a short term love and probably not something I’d want to do forever, I feel like ICU reg is more fun as a job than ICU consultant but otherwise ICU is fairly similar to to the surgical specialties, lots of procedures, and no ward bs like mofd and waiting for package of care etc.
but I definitely loved how much teaching we had and the physiology that the registrars and consultants know and explain to us is always so exciting.
Surprisingly I’ve enjoyed my medical jobs too which I didn’t expect. Always hated my medical placements in med school
I think part of the issue is I just really really love medicine, and can really appreciate and enjoy the areas I even have see interest in pursuing as a career.
So now I’m worried if I’ll miss the rest of the body if I still commit to opthal 😅😅
Would love to hear about downsides of ophthalmology. Please try to dissuade me / make me aware of realities of ophthal
Or even the positives of opthal, I feel like I don’t know how varied opthal in itself can be and that might quench my thirst for breadth
I will be doing a taster week eventually but that’s only a week. I’ve done all my student selected units in uni in opthal too but I think having worked almost a year now I’ve quickly realised that the experience of a medical student on placement is nothing like the experience of being a doctor there.
I feel like there’s a huge rush to not take time out and do jcfs etc because of how horrendous competition ratios are atm so I need to really lock in and decide asap 😅😩
