It's been 504 days since I started Phase Two of my medical degree. 504 days. On day 506 , I will finally finish the phase. Tonight is the night before the biggest exam of our lives, it is worth 60% of my EPM, and I am sitting it at home. It feels weird to finally… Continue reading 504 days later

Medicine Week 7
Monday Busy day. Went into hospital for our ward time. We moved wards away from a Gastro Ward over to a ... Gastro ward? We are meant to switch but I suppose the demand for GI patients was too high. It feels different here as it was a bigger ward so we were more restriced… Continue reading Medicine Week 7
Medicine Week 6
Thursday I know I skipped Monday- Wednesday but unless you want me talking about my drive to Coventry let me skip it! This week we were allowed back into the MTC to study, something which I was overly happy about as I could now go back to my second home: Blanket, coffee and headphones -… Continue reading Medicine Week 6
Medicine Week 5

Tuesday The text of… Continue reading Medicine Week 5

I am now only in placement for two days a week. Later on this month I will also be… Continue reading Medicine Block : Week1
Covid Chaos
I remember moaning at the end of CCE 1 that I needed a week off. I guess the universe listened and I ended up with 8 (as far). This weird world is different enough for anyone and for Medicine and indeed other healthcare courses, we have been particularly affected. You can't study medicine, nursing, paramedic… Continue reading Covid Chaos
CCE – Specialities Week 10
