DS (25) is in his final year of medicine at uni and is fretting about applying for his foundation deanery. For those who don’t know, junior doctors can be assigned to any location in the UK, and their chances of getting their preferred location depend on a lottery-style random number generated by a computer.
DS is having a bit of a crisis and is worried that he will be placed somewhere remote. Also, he has never had a girlfriend and has mentioned that he’s worried he will never meet anyone as a junior doctor (he doesn’t want to use dating apps).
I’m struggling to allay his fears because I suspect he might have a point! Anyone else with DC who have been allocated a remote FY1? (Also, any comforting stories about trainee doctors meeting their partners after medical school would be appreciated!)
