Looks like I'll be rather busy from now on. Lectures start tomorrow and surgical rotations start next week. Asides from the full day schedule Mondays to Fridays I'll be on call once a week in the different surgical departments plus one weekend.
On call room here I come!!
Also, we get our own pager thingies!! :D To bleep us when there's an emergency so we can rush into the hospital in the middle of the night! (actually we get hospital issued ones and I think there's only 4 in a group of 10 so how that's going to be sorted out is a mystery.... no pager = stay in on call room until something happens?)
Hospital management advised us to arrange the rota ourselves in groups of 2 for our on call nights ;) hehehehehehehehehe
I am so gonna love this job and probably hate it at the end of a hectic day but love it nonetheless.
A few friends and I had a nice dinner get together last night at Eva's which was yummylicious. Me of course being me, not knowing how to cook or do anything productive, supplied wine :P Thanks for the wonderful meal Elena, Eva and yes, Michele :D Seeing as my mum's here I'll arrange a dinner where she'll make some lovely dishes because if it were left to me to save the world by cooking, we are so fucked.
In one of our NON-alcohol or drug induced surreal 'adult' discussions we talked about religion and I think some of us have come to the conclusion that Medicine IS a religion and will promptly note it down as such in the next census. Of course later on in the night, almost every one of us came to the realisation that maybe we should not have been allowed into the clinical years... or actually medical school for that matter. We are, all of us, afraid for our patients hehehehehe :D Though on a serious note, I think we all have the potential to be good if not great medics.
Wish us all luck.
