I am at the Brompton in Fulham which was built as TB hospital in WWI or something like that and is still a leading heart/lung hospital. We have a week there as a speciality (altho I only have 3 days ( Read more... )

Got my hair cut today and feel pretty for a change - shame the only person to see it is my electrician ( Read more... )

How can an educated refering clinician say that kind of thing.

Its irresponsible and dangerous.

Got chatting to a completely yummy med student today - made the whole day worth while

That and being allowed to do brain scans!

I loathe my new placement - the people are unfreindly, the place is a dump and its gonna take me an hour and half to get to there

Edited to add: And now I feel guilty for being so negative to something I've only been at one day but it makes me so miserable to think I have to go back there. 6 more months . . .
