Neuroscience to Medical School
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
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
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
Got to be honest, been putting this one off as I didn't want to relive last Thursday considering I made an idiot of myself. Monday Since the disaster of the lost weekend thanks to my vaccine, I decided to make this a half say. We went in for a morning of teaching which was meant… Continue reading Care of the Medical Patient Week Four
Wow , two weeks left of this block. Scary Monday Bank holiday Tuesday We decided to not attempt the ward round before teaching at 11:30am today. It was the day after a bank holiday, and you just know it was going to be chaos. That did mean however we were roaming the hospital car park… Continue reading Care of the Medical Patient – Week Three
Monday Straight of the bat at 9am with a bedside teaching session. These are sessions where we get a doctor (aka someone who knows what they are actually doing) to take us and teach us conditions at the patients bedside. We had a fascinating patient with both a lung and heart problem which baffled us… Continue reading Care of the Medical Patient Week Two
Monday Online Learning (I've decided not to describe these as we all know what Teams teaching is like). Tuesday Online Learning Wednesday AND WE ARE BACK !! Wow, it really has been a while, huh? It honestly felt like second year was never going to end. One and a half years trapped in a year… Continue reading Care of the Medical Patient Week 1
Monday AAANNDD I am back. More awake than ever and ready to re-attack this block. I went to OPD and really enjoyed the morning. I needed that break to re-find why I was so enthusiastic about my degree. It was a quiet week but that was ok as it meant I could work my way… Continue reading Surgery Block – Week 3
Monday I was pretty excited for this block. As someone who has considered surgery forever, but still shaky on the idea, I wanted to use this block as an opportunity to see if it was right for me. We started with a day of workshops. However, within 10 minutes the guy running the workshops has… Continue reading Surgery Block – Week 1
Final week next week. It's been a haul, but we are also presently surprised how quick it has gone. My diary is absolutely chocca this week. Not just with presentation list but the new first years start this week too. I do feel sorry for them, Covid has taken away their first year from them… Continue reading Medicine Block – Week 9
