(Although in EM I sometimes thought the scrubs might be a bit thin particularly the bottoms, but at the same time I wouldn't want to wear my own trousers)
Given the 13 hour shifts and the annual salary of a Foundation Year 1 Doctor, they're basically earning less than minimum wage! So for their first year they're earning less than someone stacking shelves at Tesco. At least the pay picks up quite quickly and they have decent prospects.
Can you go into private practice straight out of uni? what's the pay like in the private sector?

No. There are some more menial jobs in private healthcare for people around senior SHO or junior registrar level, these are things like RMOing and pre-assessing in private hospitals or doing occy health examinations for corporations. Pay in the private sector is generally quite good, better than the NHS wage for the equivalent experience, but below consultant it comes at the expense of career progression and a general loss of future income.
Some hospital in Wales (iirc) is making doctors wear a 'uniform' of scrubs in some kind of America-esque way I remember reading.
In the same article it has something about them wanting to bring back white coats, but with short sleeves. That would look ****ing ridiculous, haha.
At the hospital where I work, the anaesthetists/surgeons/trainees and junior doctors who work in the theatre department have to wear white coats whenever they leave the department . One anaesthetist commented on how it made him look like an ice-cream man.

Same in the shire, in theatres we have NHS hoodies or zoodies to pop over if we go outside the theatre. Even when just transferring a patient it has to go on! Even the doctors, they seem quite popular though and a bit 'trendier' than a white coat could be. They have them in critical care areas too.
But you won't, not unless you're going to stop hiding what you do. Top secret quacktitioner?
See that you've been getting your fellow mods to neg me. Gee boy you need to get a life!
I notice that they are all too cowardly to even give their names! Lmfao at you all. It goes to show how sad you are and what a clique this whole damned forum is.
Now I'm off to the dogs and let's see if I can win enough money to never have to work again! Tally ho!!!
See that you've been getting your fellow mods to neg me. Gee boy you need to get a life!My fellow mods? I'm glad you think so highly of me. And, JFTR, I haven't repped you at all, I'm not that petty.
(You'll have noticed of course, that you didn't leave your name when you repped me, it does seem a little trite to complain about it when others don't offer you the same courtesy)
E: And you still haven't told us what you do that is so holistic and holier-than-though.

It's not possible to leave a name when you neg someone. But just for the record, I'm about to neg you. For someone with so much experience (and implied age) you're surprisingly immature.

What's a zoodie? Although sounds better than white coats with half the sleeves missing.
Perhaps I am, but I felt that since we are forced to accept neg rep then it is only fair to start dishing it out myself...
Have some neg rep from me too if it's that important... Shame we can't add comments/names anymore - but the citation for that one is for being pretty high on the suspects list to have negged me 2 days ago for sharing experiences that dared counter yours!
Should I watch episode 3 or should I catch up on other trashy TV..? Hmm.
