Hello!!
All alone in margate this weekend but its good. Watched lil miss sunshine and the great british menu finals yesterday after grand rounds and today i will go walk the shops to get some food and er hopefully window shop? haha
It's really hot though, boiling in the room. But i prefer the hot to the cold anytime. :)
Congenital heart diseases is where my passion lies i decided or rather realized. When the spR brought us to see this guy with Eisenmenger's syndrome and we were discussing it, it made me realized how interesting congenital heart diseaes are. Made my day!
I love playing spot the difference. I believe it increases your observation skills, it really does! :) It makes your eyes really tired though.
Ok back to work, i don't like the kidney. You think you know all about it and its so ughhh confusing, makes we want to sleep everytime i look at the diseases, cause you just have to think so much about how the different stuff are regulated. ughs. i miss cardiology, but we get a bit of everything here so it's good. We saw osler's nodes last week :) we were all like WOW and then apologized to the patient for gushing over them cause we hadn't seen them before haha. But he was nice :)
Last week we had a lot of good teaching. I guess that's the difference here when the SpRs spend like 4 hours just bringing us to see patients, watching us examine, then going through important history, investigations, management for each case. It's a lot of general medicine but good cause like even though they question you a lot, you can just get it all wrong and they'll explain. Like if they don't have time to finish teaching you cause you have to rush for something else they'll tell you to come back to the ward later when you have time cause they felt they haven't taught you throughly enough! hehe.
Ok yawnnnn the kidneys beckon
Yay, my parents are coming to London next weekend, looking forward to next weekend :) Can't believe six weeks here have passed so quickly, really doesn't feel like it!
