Inside London Surgery: Surgery School | Episode 3 (Science Documentary) | Reel Truth Science

The end of the first year is looming, and the trainees face their assessments. Those who do not show real progress will be asked to leave the course. As well as preparing for tests, the interns must get as much experience as possible. Nicola makes a good start by getting into some important operations, while Yvonne is pleased to finally get a placement which gives her a chance to perform her first leg amputation.

Nick - “that’s just how life goes sometimes “. Hahaha 🤣. Seriously!?!

[@vw9659]

What a horribly, horribly flawed "training" system. The only justification seems to be "that's the way it's always been done". It's an insult to anyone involved in "professional "training systems. In a proper system, trainee surgeons would be rostered to assist in surgery for a set number of hours each week. Instead we have surgeons here who get only 30% of the surgical exposure of their peers, entirely at the expense of their hospital-imposed ward workload, the whims of registrars/consultants, and how much they are willing to neglect their ward patients. Imagine if train drivers were trained that way - only when they could find someone else to take over their other work, whether they could get to the station before the train departed, and at the whim of the train driver actually letting them practice. Luckily, with human lives at stake, we don't allow that. It shouldn't be allowed in surgery either.

I know right? its fucking bizzare. They’re judging them on how many operations they got lucky enough to do... seems like total BS

Great series , but the music level is overwhelming

[@PoulvandenElshout]

Very interesting but the background music is far too loud at some points, especially in combination with the voice-over

[@jskurok]

My god I hope nick never breaks bad news to me

[@drshuaibsiddiqui]

The fact that the trainees operate under supervision should be emphasized

[@taradaves3096]

Nick is terrible with breaking bad news. Frankly, doctors need to be taught what to say rather than relying upon pat phrases that are not helpful and potentially hurtful. Along with nutrition and metabolism, communication is one of the great holes in medical education.

[@rocknromance78]

Nick is rude. So him being held back isn't a surprise. Even though he looks like Mr bean.

[@usmanalikhan6073]

Breaking bad news, that was intense!!... omg, and they expect us to do that in medical school interviews...

[@natasyagoff24]

im just going to take my PLAB test next year and being registered with the GMC hopefully after finishing the foundation 2 programmes i will be able to enter the surgical residency 😇

Tough journey, same with fighter pilots. Good documentary

[@fikent5252]

At least she could be honest & say that plastic surgery is the most lucrative of specialties !!!!

[@Mairookhan]

wow that's an amazing.. i am also studying BDs and will be a dentist insha'Allah

[@andymcneil7660]

Fascinating vid. I loved it. Thank you for posting.

[@OTnajjar]

those who are watching, the guys are doing the MRCS Part B exam. which is the membership of royal college of surgeons exam. It's a very difficult test and before that test they had to do Part A. about 30% of doctors pass this test. it's really not easy! I recently cleared it and now watching this documentary I just view it with a bit more empathy now. It's not easy to be a surgeon. overworked underpaid expensive mandatory exams and courses.. struggling financially .. spending time away from family rotating ..

[@sharonread7674]

Oh Nick. Communication techniques not your forte. Try imagining that you are telling a family member. Stay in control but be gentle and imagine how you would feel if you swapped places and someone said to you "your dying, sorry that's how it goes. " 🙄

[@syeedaadilhafiz4961]

I feel great respect and admire for the mam with short hair . She is well encouraging .

[@doozerakapuckfutin]

Voice over man speck up . Or Reduce incidental music . Could hardly here the notation in parts Drowned out in parts . All in All bloody interesting . Can’t wait for part 4 ...

[@johnschlesinger2009]

Highly interesting stuff, but the commentator's voice is often almost inaudible: terrible sound engineering.

[@petertownley-o8n]

amazes me how much rich mummy & dad plus grandparrents get thier siblings to top posts in surgery is unreal dont see many counci estate boys at this level? then nick has world class people skills what a one liner thats how it goes i am afraid lol

[@Bobsyouruncle-ru9io]

How do these people afford medical school etc?

[@iamdanyboy1]

This is the UK. It's relatively cheap. And you get paid about 30kPounds a year in FY1 and FY2 in UK.

[@pedalwerk]

In the UK, all people who live in the UK can get a government loan for their 5-6 years of tuition and extra money to live on while they study. These student loans have very reasonable repayment schedules and are basically impossible to default on. By the time people reach surgical residency (as shown in this program), they are already junior doctors, so are earning a salary of minimum £24,000 per year, and up to £30,000 per year - as you only start paying back your student loan when you earn over £25,000 per year, this is fairly manageable.

[@Bobsyouruncle-ru9io]

@@pedalwerk Thanks for explaining this. Now to go hang myself, clearly, I could've been a doctor had I known this.

They're washing their hands cuz of hygiene, but look at the state of the wall and the sink at 26:42 it's absolutely disgusting.

[@spaken2768]

10:19 An above leg amputation? Is that at the waist? :p

[@dl1352]

It should be "AKA(Above Knee Amputation)". Anyway, UK surgical training system looks so bad.
