  • This episode, junior doctors are working in the competitive world of surgery. "it's not easy, not everyone can be a surgeon. We're like Top Gun." Young trainees have little room for any mistakes
    There are over 63,000 junior doctors working in Britain’s hospitals. As young as 23, they are the foot soldiers of the NHS. They welcome us into the world and they will be there at the end. But, they are working in hospitals that are treating more patients than ever before. Everything is stretched, we haven’t got a lot more to give, and something needs to change.

    The title is kind of ignorant. It was a great doc though. We need safer working practices for surgeons. If they’re working 24 hours straight, that’s bad for their concentration- I wouldn’t want surgery from someone who’s been up a day straight. If we have them work normal hours, or even 15 hours let’s say, we might have more people attracted to being a surgeon and the problem will help solve itself.

    With an attitude like this, no wonder the NHS is having a junior doctor shortage. Perhaps they should rethink their archaic attitudes towards women in surgery, the lack of sleep for doctors, and how surgery time is allocated. I suppose if enough patients start dying from gross mistakes due to exhaustion, things might have a chance of changing.

    Why are these surgeons expected to perform major surgeries while exhausted. Does health and safety, as law and also enforced in all other walks of life not apply in medicine. It’s not fair on the doctors nor the patients. Truckers are not allowed drive more that a certain amount of hours and they must stop. Ordinary citizens are told they should not drive while tired. It’s irresponsible. Bus ,coach and train drivers are controlled by law from driving for too long. It’s an absolute scandal. The Govt and dept of health are to blame as ithey obviously do not care about the physical and mental health of their doctors nor by extension the patients.This has to stop in the best interest of all concerned

    I really felt bad for the doctor when he was giving that end of life conversation to the son. I'm still in medical school so my knowledge of how to give such conversations is still theoretical. I could tell that he tried to follow the recommended procedure and probably got too nervous and blabbed. As the consultant said, we only get better with practice and experience. Hopefully his future conversations will go better.

The reason the title is what it is is because the episode is focusing on Surgury specialties and the lack of support for home life and children for doctors.

It is especially hard for women in this specialty due to the insane hours and lack of support.

    I dont know about other countries but in Australia female doctors have reasons that block them from extra training to be surgeons. Men.
    Constant sexual harassment, bullying and deliberate sexual assault are reasons cited by the doctors. The mentoring Head Surgeons play a critical role in training and career progression,and mostly likely sit on panels to address such discrimination
    A few years ago, a female surgeon actually suggested to continue surgical training that you may as well "give in" to sexual demands, because every obstacle will be put in your way, if you resist.

He should have been REPORTED. If this is how junior doctors are being spoken to and treated on a daily basis, theres no wonder why doctors quit their jobs or end up following in the same foot steps and this kind of communication overlaps onto their patients, I.e US PATIENTS.

      Only 2 sentences of maybe a 5-minute talk don't mean anything. Nobody looked upset and in finance, the army, or any other competitive field, people have sometimes a hard talk to keep them sharp. As for Nasty, it doesn't say by itself anything, because the context was removed for dramatization. Nasty in the sense of talking seriously, yet in a loving and supportive way, in order to help them in their development, is something different from nasty in order to hurt someone's feelings. The way how this documentary is filmed is to enhance drama. Many subtle things that could give a totally different vibe have been taken out, so with a grain of salt. Most programs on TV are made like that, especially the contest programs that are focused on dancing and singing. Just take this program with a grain of salt.

      Maybe a bit late. In Australia and U.K. both leading conservative governments, claim to support universal healthcare, because it is popular amongst the citizens.
      However, it goes against their ideological grain. First they start out reducing funding, then outsource non-medial staff. Next, they try to overwork clinical staff or offer contractual employment. The services start to decline, so an outside logistics analyst is contracted ,with a large fee to enquire into management of the system. (In Australia the firm is usually has financial or political ties to the governing party) .
      More cuts and privatisation is recommended.
      Our Medicare pathology services are becoming restrictive. Less access to costly screening procedures or obstacles put in the way of frequency.
      Then the idea of co-payment is introduced , but rejected by the people so statutory changes are made regarding access to ancillary services.
      IT IS CALLED DEATH BY A THOUSAND CUTS. OR FUNDING TO FAIL.
      This the neo-liberals playbook. The road to privatisation.

      I think if you're purely money motivated there's easier ways to earn that kind of money. If you think about the amount of commitment and sacrifice it takes to even get through basic training, that's seven years and then you're still constantly learning.
      Also the emotional toll dealing with sick and dying patients. In fact I'm sure if someone was purely after money they wouldn't do medicine!

    I think a lot of how successful a doctor is regardless of gender is what their style of learning has been when they grew up. If they are from an educational environment where thinking outside the box and critical thinking is encouraged, then I think this goes a long way in problem solving in clinical situations.If a student has learned in a ridged rote style learning environment then thinking outside the box can be anathema to them. Obviously gaining the crucial bedrock of scientific and clinical knowledge has to be learned first but then they need to be able to think flexibly and problem solve.
