Those are junior doctors on dirt pay. Consultants earn up to £95k a year.

I've had 4 consultants over the past 10 years. The first, who was forward thinking and kept up with the latest in the field, helped me acquire an insulin pump. Sadly, I had to transfer clinics when I moved across the country and have n

This was my experience when I was first diagnosed, too (minus closed loop - it was the early 90's). They put more effort in with children, as it's a dedicated team. Same as gestational diabetes care. Expect to start having appoint

Diabetes consultants can earn salaries up to £95k. Far from what junior doctors earn.

My diabetes consultant is on more than the national median income and only works part time in a low cost of living area of the UK. They are far from hard done by. Throwing money at them will not change what is effectively a systemic error i

I'm T1D and currently working on something like this because diabetes healthcare in the UK is effectively non-existent past diagnosis. Managing the condition isn't too difficult after 30 years of it, but dealing with the politics

It's hard not to prefer the ecosystem that is designed to make it as painful as it can be to switch to a competitor.

I'm all in on Linux at this point - it's been usable for a long time. My comments not really about whether it works, as we know it does, it's about how we go about getting the word out there.

They've been at it for years. I'd genuinely be surprised if this cracked the top 10 worst things Microsoft have done to Windows users. I think there would need to be a concerted effort at a grass-roots level, say from r/build

This is actually an interesting point. There's a tendency to assume that the core of a story is the same, even if the way it's told is different. I wonder how many generations of retellings it takes for us to notice significant di

I think a lot of people aren't necessarily happy because they're highly skilled at it, but because its a default state of being. If it was purely a skill then environmental or biological factors wouldn't play any role. If any

Probably not as absurd as you think. I reckon if you dropped an American in a random town in Scotland (or even a northern English town, for that matter), they would also need to use very broken English and hand gestures to communicate as we

This is a good assessment. 1 and 2 are why the system won't change, but I don't think they were intentionally designed with that in mind. I think it's a hang over from academia, bearing in mind how many of the top engineers a

Universally rejected by all cultures is false. For example, India's penal code makes exceptions for men who rape their wives. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marital_rape_laws_by_country Lets not get into a debate

Your reasoning is speculation and your sources only really show evidence for your claim that religiosity is declining. Another correlation with birthrate is wealth. Wealthy countries have more expensive costs associated with raising childre

This is almost certainly a UK specific experience. The police here have a track record of treating people who report crimes with disdain.

I doubt in office staff are more valued by companies than remote staff. If the company is moderately large then you will not be any more visible than a remote worker. I'd be surprised if we're not just figures on a spreadsheet to

I'm not going to defend the other commenters point but I find your position strange. Imagine a person covered in poo, ripped clothes leaving visible track marks from using intraveinous drugs. I'm sure if you were forced to interac

This is horribly reductive. Put aside the sample size of one for a moment. The fact you've only dealt with the police when genuinely committing crimes, and their response was proportional to the crime, is most likely down to your skin
