Yesterday, the man, the myth, the legend @Michael040262 had his last operating list in the NHS. Even taught me how to do an implant and a revision. Congratulations - even though it’s not the end just yet!
Having to pay £260 to use an online logbook that is mandatory for me to be able to complete my training… no logbook, no progression. System is broken. Sour every single year.
Core training finito.
Now the fun really begins. Never thought 10 years ago when I started medical school that I would become a urologist. Here we go! 🥳
NHS logic - rota gap, out to locum, no one takes it, person on has to do their work plus more and doesn’t get any kind of compensation for working double, sometimes triple, sometimes more. We deserve better.
Who would have thought how proud I would be to start calling myself Mr Boyle again after all those years at med school. MRCS Part B ✅
2 irritants today. 1. Mrcs part b results not being released at the same time as other colleges. 2. Scrub nurse complaining how long my FIRST lap appendix that was fecking honking and so stuck was taking me because she needed to go home. ME TOO.
Ironic that it takes longer to go through the process for a core surgical training job than it does to get to highest political office in the country.
Pretty gutting considering how few elective days I get due to on call disasters on my rota and that basically there are no consultants in next week because of the holidays and my week of 5 precious elective days will results in 0 elective opportunities.
Team @GlasgowUrology class of 22 signing out. It’s been a ride, and a scrotum or three. Thanks to the bosses for some great training this year! @MrSimonMorton @Michael040262 and the rest.
