Tuesday Quiet week this week. Mainly because we didn't have muuch booked, partly because I am shattered and am only going in for things that I haven't seen before. I guess this is a skill that I have learnt. It does make me sound like a bad student but in a way, it's sanity preserving.… Continue reading Acute Block – Week 4

Acute Block – Week Three
Monday Another day of online teaching today - still thoroughly melting. I was super grateful that I could sit in front of the fan all day rather than in a hospital melting in my scrubs. I also treated myself to a hammock so I could fully enjoy the sun, whilst not breaking my back or… Continue reading Acute Block – Week Three
Acute Block- Week Two
Monday I wish I could write a little less of "online teaching" again, but I am afraid that is all I did have this morning! This time we were going acid-base, which I believe will never ever stick in my brain. It looks at how effectively your lungs and kidneys are doing at removing waste… Continue reading Acute Block- Week Two
Acute Block – Week One
Monday Here we are! Another block. These are FLYING by. Soon though we will be on our 2-week break and as much as I am enjoying third year, I can not wait. We started the day with online inductions and teaching. The perk with these being you can roll out of bed 20 minutes before… Continue reading Acute Block – Week One

Care Of The Surgical Patient, Week 4
Monday My second shift in the SAU! The team looked slightly alarmed when I walked in with the crutches, but I just assured them that once I am on the ward I can make do without. I am every physios nightmare patient. I enjoy SAU, I like being independent and doing all the clarking, coming… Continue reading Care Of The Surgical Patient, Week 4
Care of the Surgical Patient Week 3
Monday Was meant to go in for theatre today but ended up missing it due to being in absolute pain with my hip the night before. I got about 3 hours sleep in all and the thought of being in pain and tired all day in surgery did not seem like something I wanted to… Continue reading Care of the Surgical Patient Week 3
Care of the Surgical Patient – Week 2
Tuesday Thankfully had the Monday off due to the bank holiday. Much needed as I was exhausted most of the Sunday so caught up on nothing .... I had my first bedside teaching session with Mr O which I was a tad nervous for but I could cope without my crutches for the morning which… Continue reading Care of the Surgical Patient – Week 2
Care of Surgical Patient Week 1
I'm going to level with you here, I was not expecting much from this block at all. Surgeons and surgery have this expectation attached to them that you are going to be ignored mostly for the block and spend five weeks in the corner staring at people moving their hands around. For once, I am… Continue reading Care of Surgical Patient Week 1
Care of the Medical Patient Week 5
Where did this block go? I feel like we only started it 2 seconds a go. Monday We had planned to go in and attend a ward round with one of the Warwick MVP lecturers today. V is a lecturer most people want to get into clinics with, but we found he does a ward… Continue reading Care of the Medical Patient Week 5
