Not to mention why should age-ism play into this. If these doctors are so ‘young’ then why are they in charge of peoples lives? Oh wait maybe it’s because they are skilled and qualified. 🤔 so annoying that people write these articles like this

I reported and blocked him. Guaranteed he has spoken like this to other women also. It’s a stepping stone to worse behaviour and says a lot about what he thinks of women
I’ve blocked that PA. Such negative energy I can’t even. I really admire the work the F1s put in so yeah I’m not going to watch the denigration of the profession of a doctor
if I told you you could train and study for something for 5 years - no other jobs or hobbies and barely see your family and friends - miss weddings and funerals. £100,000 in debt. It is so stressful regularly, you don't sleep properly...then when you start your job -you have an
It’s true in a matter of months we have gone from many doctors risking their lives and dying to ‘those lazy doctors don’t want to work weekends’ like their 70+ hours is small fry. OK THEN
Went to a garage once the guy there said to me ‘what?? You forgot to put down your Dr title here!’
Me ‘oh I don’t know it’s fine nbd’
Him ‘no you earned that. Always use it!’
So .. I do
Patient grabbed my arm twice I sat him up said I can’t treat if he does this. He proceeded to shout at me until I treated him. Had a go at me while he was in the chair. I had to be escorted to my car for safety. Are you sure you want to keep your dentists? 😅
Managed to get a young girl with autism from standing outside the surgery petrified and afraid to having fillings in the chair with no issues /trauma. Bang banggggg
Today felt 1/4 pretty for the first time in a while. A celebration after a week of interview and SJT in-between on-call. Several lacs and ethical scenarios later here we are…

It’s not just tiktok it’s the whole fast food fast internet fast news culture fast communication. People have become far too used to and far too comfortable with instant gratification - unjustly so
Just went to the worst interview I’ve ever ever had. I was interrogated to the max and I feel like crying. Yeah maybe I won’t work as an NHS dentist again 💀
Some people don’t realise the privilege it is to have access to even slightly larger sums of money to pay for things. It’s assumed that if you’re doing something like dentistry/doctor that you can just automatically afford the random extra things
exam every year + regular other exams all through the year, you don't get to choose your shifts, you miss more weddings and funerals, and you pay out 1000s in courses. How much would you expect that job to pay at the end?
You can shout about how a doctors work is just the same as any other job until you are a patient depending on their decisions, care pathway, and trusting them with their health. You would hope that they take care of you with a deliberate and diligent hand. This is not to say
This superhero is a retired GP in Limehouse East London
I’m in tears because she’s saying she learned Bengali in the 80’s to understand her patients because there were no interpreters 😭
This is British pride 🇬🇧 she should be a household name 😭❤️

It would possibly be a good way for medical students to support their studies after 2 years in their schooling. Then they could use this as part time work maybe?
The other thing that grinds my gears is - lots of docs don’t come from stable backgrounds / no financial safety net or savings. If you want to widen participation truly you need to pay the correct salary they were expecting before training - and consider the impact -
BDJ practice throwing out bangers. Zero tolerance the right way. From ‘Addressing racism and discrimination in the workplace: lessons from the University of Birmingham Dental School’
So - in many of these interviews I have had I have been asked about - my age, if i am married, am I planning to have children soon, when - what’s my family plan in general. Question - are men getting the same questions ? I assume so ?
Dad lost his mind.
What the fuck is wrong with you woman?
YOU'RE RAISING MY SON TO BE A BITCH? Crying about his haircut?
This is the kinda man you’re raising when I’m not around?
Mum started screaming back calling dad crazy and telling him to leave the house.
The next time you question when someone who isn’t white talks about how much harder they have to work to prove themselves to be worthy of a job or anything else. Remember these moments! If a well educated, wealthy, well spoken individual is being simplified to their colour …
Look if you don’t want a fresher dentist then don’t invite me for an interview to insult me??? Just don’t bother. Stick to your 10 year experienced dentists
I really really don’t understand what this culture of making fun of healthy food is. It’s good for you, your mind your body your skin. And fresh food tastes great. Sugar really is an addiction that’s been normalised
Being advised against specialising in omfs due to poor pay, culture and hours vs my trained qualifications. Isn’t that sad ? 2 degrees and >3 highly trained years. Imagine how many people even further skilled than this have to pass up this pathway because it’s unwise
It’s taken me a while to build my confidence. A lot of brown women are taught to be really submissive and it’s ‘unattractive’ to be anything but. You can guess how that works out in the workplace ..

Honestly ? It would be reasonable for them to introduce this straight away. They managed to give their MPs a payrise and give billions away to other countries. It’s just not on
When a POC shares a microaggression or racist experience of theirs with you - you are privileged they told you how they felt. Listen to them and learn. Telling them they’re wrong is you being ignorant. You don’t know how hard it was for them to share that with you
@cameron_joshi
I’m really thankful that you can see this. Often people will say ‘well they should just handle it better that’s their job’ and not see just how it’s not possible to carry all that responsibility for so many hours and do it at 100%
Tbh i had a strong feeling that my going into hospital and practice thoughout the pandemic - being part of the frontline, constantly at risk and exposed to covid, working in mountains of PPE and protocol - would not be recognised afterwards. People forget as soon as it’s gone 🙊
It hurts to think if a few of my friends openly support Andrew Tate - a man who has already admitted to sex trafficking in articles / podcasts in the past - how many do watch him and take his advice? Long way to go before we are seen as people and not objects to exploit
@dx_mighty
Just read. I’m sorry you’ve been targeted like this. You have the PA qualification and work as one - why should any additional qual or course discredit or earn your removal from that. Hope this gets resolved
Managed to do an incision and drainage under LA on a child again today with not even a twinge or wince! She was so happy she said thank you afterwards which was so cute and made me so happy (obvi not that I had to do i&d) but one step closer to getting out of pain
@oldenoughtosay
Tbh I’m so OVER people being obsessed with forcing women to wear bras. Like why is it so offensive?? Would be so nice not to have to wear these cages all the time
