The Lady and the Cat

3 February 2012 - 2:50pm — Jen's blog

My godmother is a GP, not this has anything to do with my choice in medicine, in fact she tried to dissuade me, I'm not sure why, something to do with paperwork perhaps. However, I'm can be quite stubborn sometimes and I was determined to not be put off by this. General practice comes under the term of primary care, GPs are your first port of call when you are unwell (unless it is life-threatening, in which case I strongly recommend A&E) and so it can be a great place to see undiagnosed illnesses. However, GP placements get labelled as a bit of a day off at my university.

So what made me decide to become a doctor?

It was Saturday afternoon and I was in a long queue for Hollister. I had a bad week last week (too many late nights and early mornings) and I was looking forward to the weekend. (Cue a shopping trip). There were two young boys behind me in the queue and I couldn't help but overhear them talking.... They were both 16 and beginning to think about A-levels and degrees: "I'm thinking about medicine", one said, "but I think it's well hard". My flatmate and I looked at each other.

Dear Reader, it's lovely to meet you

Who am I?
I'm a fourth year medical student, this is my first blog and I CAN'T WAIT TO QUALIFY. I hope to take you through my highs and lows of medical training. I love what I do (though I may not think this every day), I have had some wonderful experiences along the way and truly honoured to have such wonderful friends to share them with.

Write a blog – get a free textbook!

24 January 2012 - 8:48pm — tom

We want almostadoctor to be more than just free notes. We want it to be a place you come to hear funny stories about what other students have been up to, to get the latest info on the events happening in your area, and just maybe to read up on a topic for uni.

We are looking for students and junior doctors to write regular blogs about their antics. It would be great on your CV, can help you let off steam, and best of all, we’ll give you a free textbook!

Revising For Finals

14 December 2011 - 4:13pm — PasTest

Medical Finals are, well, ‘final’.  The very last exams you’ll take as a medical student, and effectively what you’ve been working towards for at least the last five years.  So no pressure then.  When they’re over, and you get your results, you can call yourself ‘Doctor’, register with the GMC, and have the mother of all celebrations before you start thinking about preparing yourself for FY1.  So they’re just a little obstacle in the road to a lifelong professional career.  Promise.

 

A Quick Phonecall

15 November 2011 - 11:40am — doctorwho

I was on call. In the office. Typing up some notes on the computer. It was a busy day. I wasn’t quite paying attention.

The SHO from my usual team was on the phone in the office. I wasn’t working on the team today… as I was on call.
Anyway, she asked me if I could speak to someone on the phone. She is a very lovely SHO, and so, of course I did.
