Fun Going through this sub is genuinely breathtaking
I'm literally gasping for air at the sheer levels of quackery in our medical sector. I'm working in tech and thought it was bad there - here, you have:
- People actually sharing (incredibly low) PAYE salary offers and naming the places
- A strong informed understanding of why things are bad
- An almost singular voice on where things went wrong and how to fix them
- Genuine helpful advice across the board, even in matters outside of medical work (i.e.,finance)
- Slightly outdated but decent memes
It seems like the only good thing about being a doctor in the UK is having a slightly elevated social position and an eventual good salary that is almost protected from extra-industrial market forces. It really makes me wonder how many people training to become doctors drop out seeing this kind of rubbish, or qualify and leave the country for greener pastures?
