Last Bit Of Forth Year
23 May 2008It’s been quite a while since the last update and I have certainly been ignoring my blog more and more these days. I’m in the middle of my last module, Perioperative & Emergency Medicine (POEM) and the fact that final year is looming ahead is starting to become more and more real. *gulp*
Enough of scaring myself, more about POEM… It’s a sort of 3-in-1 module, with 2 weeks in Anaesthetics, A&E and Fractures each (and 2 weeks of lectures). I just finished Anaesthetics and am due to start A&E on Monday Tuesday. Cannulas, LMAs, intubation… a whole lot of fun so far. Just didn’t like the sitting around very much… The anesthetists either take that time to ask loads of questions or ignore you totally and work on their crossword/magazine/book. I don’t know which one I dislike more, feel very silly or be bored. Heh… Got the hang of it towards the end though, “the white stuff, the clear stuff and the gas!!” ;) LOL. I couldn’t possibly take out my Palm and play bejewelled on it (it just felt wrong, nevermind that he’s doing crosswords), and kept being sent to “take a break, have a cup of tea”. Honestly though, i think i like anaesthetics, and it is one of those things that just uhmm… makes sense.
It’s altogether a good 2 weeks, I managed to get the required stuff done in the first week and could spend time seeing interesting surgeries and taking time off to run various errands this week. Yippee!! ;)
Now, on to A&E and the dilemma of “it’s bank holiday Monday, should I go in???”
