Monday Bank holiday day off! I needed this, I just used it mainly for admin, washing, and cooking. Yes, being at Med School is all fun and games until you have to spend all day in your flat washing your undies. In the evening, we had our first Revue meeting. If you've been a long… Continue reading MSK Block Week 2

MSK Week One
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! 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
