Every Type Of Surgeon Explained In 13 Minutes

The NHS is an incredibly complex and nuanced system, that delivers healthcare services across the UK.

The Video Medical Schools Don't Want You To See

Choosing to study medicine can be a bit of a knee-jerk response for many students. It's traditionally a well-respected, well-paid job with highly rewarding work. While the core elements of a career in medicine haven't changed, the current landscape makes being a junior doctor in the NHS a very different prospect. In this video, I explore whether I'd still recommend medicine as a career and what...

    It wouldn't be broken if our governments let people work in paid jobs not blacklist them when they have qualifications and talents. Millions of people in the UK are being blacklisted from working in paid jobs. It's why they couldn't afford to fund healthcare. I hate the NHS they are all very corrupt the way they treated me and my friends. The poor people I suppose have to die then because they don't have the funds to pay for their own healthcare??????

    This is the new info I was looking for! A majority of videos about self-discipline use dated info and sometimes advise people to do things that won’t actually increase their discipline. One huge fact that changed how I think about discipline is that you increase it by doing things you don’t enjoy. I’ve realized most people have grown accustomed to doing difficult things and tricking their minds to enjoy them, which doesn’t grow the aMCC (willpower).

    British biggest problem is to blame others! The global crisis was created by the western countries including the UK by sanctioning key countries that provide resources directly and indirectly linked to key supplies. When supplies are short, demand is still there but the supply is shorter driving prices up. The crisis was created artificially by the british elites and not only british. Stop financing and prolonging international wars, stop meddling in other countries, stop making rich richer. All those money should be spent on NHS, schools, provide free university education, free childcare and elderly care.

Or any benefits to the public in the following 3years? Thank you for your insights PS: our pharmacists has the right to prescribe or even change your gp prescription and for my sister experience they actually refuse to give her the same prescription they gave her a different prespective, she had to go and pay again her gp to get another prescription who was the same just so she can get her preventer!

    Are these skills are mentioned in order of importance? Also, I think we can condense the points into just 3; #1,6, and 7 all revolve around communication skills; #3 and 5 both lead to the same outcome, and both #2 and #4 can be categorized as having solid personality, tying well with the theme of compassion. The upshot seems that what makes a good doctor have a lot to do with being a good person in the first place, this should encourage health practitioners -including myself- to broaden our perspective and not neglect non-scientific parts of our lives in the pursuit of scientific competence.

    I grew up in the 60s, 70s and 80s. There was no problem with the NHS back then, and we did not continuously get told we need endless immigration to maintain it. So the question is 'what changed'? We could see a GP the same day, an English doctor who spoke English, and who was trained in the UK to the highest standards in the world. Now you have to see a 3rd world quack, that's if you get to see any doctor at all.

    Mass immigration is breaking the NHS, and every other public service, and causing a housing crisis. GDP/head is collapsing due to immigration, and that is the figure which dictates the quality of public services. Many more people are using the NHS but are not paying tax to fund it. Taxpayers in the UK are being screwed over to pay for the health care of immigrants. I pay 40% tax but have no GP.
