BBC3 - Junior Doctors: Your Life In Their Hands

tbh, I agree....but although I'm not a doctor, I would've just said I don't know than trying to bluff my way out of it, still getting it wrong and making myself look like an arse

On a non medical note... I'm sensing a bit of Adam-Suzi... stuff going on... no, you don't have to tell me how ridiculously astute I am.... I already know!

That was pretty good! I like this show muchly! Totally reinforcing my descision not to do Medicine... you know, if my hatred for and total failure at Biology and Chemistry hadn't already forced my hand!
You prospective medics and medics, I tip my *virtual* hat to you!

Oh man, that's terrible. Sorry :/

Yep annoying because although she now thinks I´m more than capable I´m frustrated that she´s gone from putting doctors on a pedastal to thinking they´re a bunch of clueless youngsters. I hope this prog doesn´t make people dismissive of how difficult it is to not only get in but to complete the course and practise as a junior doctor. I think the prog either picked people that were going to come across as particularly incompetent or put a spin on it to come across that way

Re the breaking bad news, I worked in paeds oncology for 4 yrs & part of my job was telling kids they were going to die. I became highly skilled at doing it but hated it each and every time.

Thx, feel terrible to admit now that part of the reason I left was because I felt I was becoming desensitised.

The first time was the worse, 7 yr old in for pallative care, the mum put a pillow over the kids face then commited suicide herself (this happened on the ward btw). I had to deal with the 12 yr old brother, tbh I was so shocked and upset I just felt numb also I think in that type of situation you´re more focused on the grief of those who are actually suffering the loss rather than yourself as merely an observer.

oh wow....how on earth did you do that....

I could never tell a child he/she was going to die, and then to see the parents reaction....

Frankly i'm a little disappointed, where's the pole sticking through people? Where's the gore?

there was a finger going into some old guys bottom

so perhaps they are building up to it???
