Doctors, Patients and Communities
Always an interesting afternoon activity. The norm is 14 people all falling asleep around a table, trying to convince themselves that theyre learning/teaching something that wouldnt already occur to someone with a fully functioning mind.
This afternoon we were talking about ethical issues involved in different obscure scenarios we as doctors may come across. It was made better than most DPaC sessions by finishing 20 miutes early.
Squash tonight for the first time in months, looking forward to it :)

Late
Today the alarm on my phone didn't wake me up.
Which is annoying.
I woke up at Emilies alarm at 8:30am, feeling actually quite happy. I hadnt looked at the time yet, i was still cozy in bed, emilie was still asleep next to me, it was gonna be a good start to the day. I'd have time for breakfast before dissection, so i wouldnt have to spend money at the hospital. Life was good. Then i looked at the time, and instantly there goes the good mood. I should explain, the dissections start at 8:30 sharp, so you have to be there 5 minutes early, so even as i was waking up i was already 5 minutes late. Unamused. I didnt have time for a shower, breakfast, i was rushed, and not properly organised, which isnt my favourite way to start a day.
It all calmed down again in the dissection room. It was an easy dissection. We removed the skin from the thigh following the great saphanous vien down into the lower leg. It gave me time to calm down and do what im good at.
When i got out i had texts from emilie trying to calm me down. I like knowing she thinks of me when im stressing.
Anyway im calm now and my life is back in order, i still havent had a shower which is an issue, but oh well.
Dpac this afternoon, which is technically necessary, but in practice an utter and total waste of time, petrol and conciousness. but its compulsory so off we go to downfield. funsies.

steven herd
Once upon a time i had a flatmate called steve, he hqad his heart torn out and replaced by a frayed and tattered hollow heart held together with cynicism and spite.
He's a nice guy :)
He can make my day when he'sin the right mood :)

Help im a fish!
Just lay in bed with emilie watching what was possibly one of the most satisfying and emotionally enaging kids movies ever :D
plot was a bit sketchy but you cant fault the drama :D

winter needs to be done now
Just a thought, but im getting a bit fed up of having to wear a coat everywhere. I want it to be warm and nice and sunny, and to be able to leave the flat in just a jumper and not freeze my nipples into ice sculptures on the way.
Life is simpler when the weathers nice. Being damp when you get places isnt a huge worry any more. You dont get that gritty water off the road on your windscreen making it impossible to see through. The car just looks nicer, it takes more than one single journey before it needs washed again. You can drive with the windows down. Bliss all round.
to be fair though the cold does throw up the odd good thing. Frozen things are particularly pretty.
And i suppose the skiing is good fun.
Al in all thought im for summer, i want it to be properly warm again.

My life
I've created this essentially to vent frustration and empty my head every now and again.
Got the idea from a book by a doctor basically bitching about the job and the situations it put him in. Apparently it helped him, so here i am. :)
