bullying

Am a bit scared to start work. I have a monthly subscription to mps (and i know what it is) but i constantly read articles about bullying from seniors. I thought this stops in primary school?

Did you not go to secondary school?!

Anyway, although bullying does happen in thFACHS, perhaps more in some specialties than others, it's not enormously widespread. You will be expected to do your job, and may get told off if you do the wrong thing/don't do something, but actual personal intimidation/insults is pretty rare. There are supervision structures within all hospitals that you can report to if you are concerned, even though this might seem scary, it's not something you have to put up with.

I appreciate your response but i do findyour comments rude. I did go to secondary school where i did in fact get bullied. The reason why i mentioned primary school was simply to highlight that bullying is childish and pathetic.

As to my pens post you stated that carrying expensive pens is silly for the fy1. I have read previous posts where someone has claimed you belittle juniors. No i am not that man who wrote that but i am getting that impression from you.

I am sure you have been in our position and we are nervous. We all have different methods of coping and if carrying a 'flashy' pen helps with confidence, and essentially performing the job to the best of your ability, then i say why not.

Going back to this post doctors are humans we may make mistakes and while getting told off would be beneficial there are ways how to speak to colleagues.

The problem with 'bullying' is there is it a personal idea what constitutes bullying. I am a bit sensitive but it is doable. Thankfully it has improved but certainly in surgical or orthopaedics 'bullying' of juniors is pretty universal and the environment universally unsupportive.

I don't know where you've been working, but this is not the case in any of the hospitals i've worked in whatsoever. The surgical departments at my current hospital are all extremely supportive.
