Funnily enough, when visiting in hosp a few weeks back I asked an F2 what it meant (was on her id badge) - she replied foundation stage 2 which I already knew. She didn't seem keen to elaborate though

F1 F2....no idea.

Doctors: lowest form of life in the hospital is House Surgeon or House Physician.
One year later they become Senior House Officers (stlll very junior) and then then one or more years later, they become registrars ( they are in training, surgical or medical)

Top of the registrar tree is the Senior Registrar who is waiting for a Consultant to die or retire.

Top of the tree is the Consultant.

Sqad, dare one ask...

[Sqad]

Sandy ....dare one ask what?

[sandyRoe]

Where were you on the totem pole? :-)

[Sqad]

sandy...c'mon....what do you think?

If one is going to do something, then shoot for the moon, if you don't, then you will never get there.

Consultant.

[sandyRoe]

The truth to tell, I never thought otherwise.

[Sqad]

sandy...LOL...does it show that much....LOL

[Zeuhl]

Sqad had the most important job in the hospital.



Allocation of car parking spaces.

[sandyRoe]

opinionated, arrogant, cocksure. It does a tad. lol

[Sqad]

Zeuhl....LOL

[Sqad]

sandy......LOL... so what! do you want to be operated upon by some little mousy creature who when he barked,nobody paid a jot of notice......not my style, never was and i never had any trouble with theatre nurses or junior doctors sticking with me.

This is my ball game so play by my rules.

[Zeuhl]

My surgery has just been confirmed for the 28th.

The hospital are just waiting for the surgeon to get back from his 6 month deployment with the Taliban.

[Sqad]

Zeuhl...LOL..as long as he is a good "cutter"....;-)

[jno]

so the person to be operated on by is...

the one who got Sqad eased out.

[Sqad]

jno....if it was one of MY" boys" then you would be fine.

[sandyRoe]

I agree,Sqad. If I ever had the misfortune to need a surgeon I'd rather have one in the James Robertson Justice mould.
