I made this Venn diagram to illustrate why everyone should start up posting again. If it doesn't convince you I don't know what will.
This week I worked a lot a did little else. The presentation went pretty well on Monday. Nailed the timing and I think what I talked about was vaguely relevant so should be ok.
We had mock OSCEs (objective structured clinical exam) this week. You go around a load of 10 minute "stations". At each one you are given a task to complete. So you walk around a room each time someone blows a whistle and perform whatever they ask of you. They can be history taking, clinical examination or clinical skills based. It was pretty stressful but I passed all the stations and it useful to see how it all worked out. I'm fairly sure it’s going to be the most stressful type of exam when we have to do it for reals.
Spent all weekend finishing writing up and following up patients. I actually had to go into hospital today because I didn't have all the information I needed on some stuff. It sucked. I have just finished everything up now though, it is a nice feeling knowing it is all done.
This week I have nothing particularly excited planned. Going out for housemate Andy's birthday on Tuesday to a Indian restaurant which is byo alcohol, I don't really know the etiquette on how much it is acceptable to drink at such establishments.
I have listened to the Yellowcard album Ocean Avenue on repeat all day, it is seriously fantastic, I had forgotten just how much I enjoyed it.
I wanted to post something cool in this blog but found couldn't think of anything good. So, here is the first video I ever favourited on youtube.
