Missense

Those of us who make studying a profession – nay – an art, will know how unpredictable the study session can be.  On a good night, you can stay focussed for hours at a time, while still managing to have a laugh with friends, sharing some food, tunes and stories.

Other nights are a complete loss, and tonight is one of those nights. 

So far the topics of conversation between myself and BPMS have been:

• robbing the asian students for coke zero money
• who’s housemate to ring and wake up ‘accidentally’
• trying to stab someone with a 30.5G needle (hair thin)
• how to plant 5¢ pieces in order to ‘grow’ them into $2 coins
• how to use asian languages against asians (thanks KoreanFriend, you were very helpful)
• staging a ‘robbery’ at one of our houses in order to steal coke zero from a roommate, and
• my adoption (I was never adopted).

Suffice to say, this ’study session’ was a complete write-off.  However, it never hurts to have a bit of fun, right? 
Our geriatric patients have all the time in the world to wait for us to begin working on their cases.

The Problem is Choice

 

So my mate over at www.puddle.wordpress.com has just jumped on the specialties bandwagon, and being a shameless drone myself, I thought I’d follow suit!

That, and I’m also interested to see what medical specialties I’m interested in, because to be honest I’ve not given it too much thought beyond ’surgery’, but here goes…

Into the Fire

 

One year to this day has passed since I left the Student Doctor Network to start One Version of Things.  I’ve used this blog to satisfy myself alone, and hopefully it’s provided you at worst a distraction, and a good read at best.

The usual thing to say is “this has been an amazing year,” or “my life has changed so much.”  As cliched as it may be, it’s also the simple truth.  A lot has happened in the past year; I am not the same person I was on the 8th of April in 2007.  I’m not going to bore you with a blow-by-blow of everything as it is all available for you to read up on in the archives.  What I will say is that I can get a sense of my story here so far and I realised that I’ve mostly struggled to find my place, but I’ve had a lot of fun doing it.

As usual, things are set to change, both in my real life and in this life. 
The entry titles for each post will no longer be song names (this is the last), basically because I can’t be bothered.
And I’m going ‘annonymous.’
By that, I mean that I will slowly phase out all references to my name and the university that I’m currently attending.  I’m not completely committed to shrinking into the shadows, and it doesn’t sit well with me.  However, I must grow up and realise that there will be information here that is somewhat confidential.

Classes are supposedly kicking up a notch after next week’s break, and we’ll finally begin the ‘real medicine’.

Oh how I’m looking forward to that.

 

Thank you for reading.
