And we are back! First day back after our two-week break and the first day of my final year. It does sort of feel like I cheated Med school considering I spent all of 6 months in the third year and will complete the clinical part of my fourth year in 5 months. I spent… Continue reading MSK Week One

Acute Block – Week Five
Monday My current mind set, getting to the end of this week. 5 more days to go Abbie. Just five more days and you'll have two weeks off. I need it badly. We had online teaching today, which was good as I got to have a bit of a lie in and sleep. We didn't… Continue reading Acute Block – Week Five
Acute Block – Week 4
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!

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
