Wednesday, April 30, 2008. 2 hours until the start of my therapeutics OSCE. I've been sat at my desk revising the management of everything I can think of. All the drugs and numbers are rattling about in my brain, I just have to hope the right ones come spilling out in the exam. I feel so sick. I've been dreading this exam since I found out about it in 3rd year. That's a long time to build up a goodly amount to anxiety. Monday, April 28, 2008. Oh my It was bad. Sunday, April 27, 2008. However, I've been w...

Friday, August 15, 2008. The on-call was pretty hard. I've been arsing about in T&O with no real patients of my own for a week, and it was big shock to have to actually see patients with real medical problems and have to use my brain for more than working out whether that x-ray shows an intra or extracapsular fractured neck of femur. I feel I am going to do most of my learning on MAU this block! 12:46 pm, August 16, 2008. I've been zombified too. being post-Friday-Sunday call is the worst. If gte mso 9] ...

Thursday, August 14, 2008. So, it's been a week. I'm beginning to get used to being called 'Doctor' both as a title and as a generic name from nursing staff I don't know. They usually want me to sign something. Quite often it's a warfarin or insulin chart. Joys. This first week has been challenging, terrifying, exciting, boring, fast, slow, everything. Not all at once, but I've been through many permutations each day! I'm getting better at faking it though, and everyone (so far! View my complete profile.

Monday, June 30, 2008. So all my stuff is now at Lily's. Mostly in boxes. Nowhere feels like home anymore. So many things need to be done in this house for it to be sorted. Most importantly at least one new bookcase, and a new bed (so bed boxes can go underneath for shoes). Until this happens this pile will have to stay in the corner of my room:. Friday, June 27, 2008. Nothing's moved on for me. I think this feeling is compounded by my best friend moving into a grown up flat with her boyfriend. The i...

Monday, October 27, 2008. Ah, how things change. This time last year, I was a medical student. And not even a very good one at that! This year, I'm a doctor, and I'm teaching the medical students, and really enjoying it too. I did an hour session on the hip today, for the 3rd years. I took their base knowledge as zero, and managed to cover (very briefly! I got them doing the examination on each other, which was comedy! Especially Trendelenburg and Thomas's tests. Saturday, October 18, 2008. Sometimes bei...

Friday, August 29, 2008. Do you know, all my friends are coupled up? That’s right, every good friend I have is happily involved with a lovely boy. Some are living with said boy, some are even engaged. I dread and delight in equal parts the first marriage. I am thoroughly pissed off that all the rest of my friends have fun – I don’t even have that. I am just ignored, alone and unloved. And everytime it breaks my heart again. I’m not sure I’ll ever get used to that. Friday, August 15, 2008. So, it's been a...

being enough...: The first day
http://medstudentmoans.blogspot.com/2008/08/first-day.html
Wednesday, August 06, 2008. I have to say, I have never run around so much in my life, or been so stressed and scared, as I have today. Today, all the SHOs and Registrars (bar one! Were in induction ALL DAY. This left me, and only me, on the wards, and so I covered all the in-patients for T&O, and carried the on-call T&O SHO bleep. You know, sitting here thinking about it now, I'm quite looking forward to tomorrow. Yay WTG, you made it through your first day :o) I knew you could do it! I'm a junior docto...

Saturday, December 22, 2007. It’s been a looooong week. But we’ve all made it, and now I am officially on holiday! Oh, yeah, and revising for surgery finals, which are in the 3. Week of January. Joys.). This week was ENT week. Not so bad, not so good. I met some extremely interesting. Surgeons on placements, each with their own very special idiosyncrasies. Very very special in some cases…. They looked very pretty piped with white icing and bagged in cellophane with red ribbon. Wednesday, December 19, 2007.
