Why Medicine? - in 10 words
On my third week of GP now! This placement has flown by, going to be over before I know it now. I’ve really enjoyed it so far, been so varied and have had the opportunity to see lots of different aspects of General Practice.
So O&G placement is officially over and this week marks the beginning of GP. Should be a lot more relaxed (I’m only in 3 days a week). I’ve also moved back home as the practice is so much closer! It’s going to be nice to have a proper desk to sit at here for the next 4 weeks too! ☺️
Halfway through my obs and gynae placement now! It’s been really enjoyable but it’s all very new as we haven’t really touched much on anything in this speciality before.
Oncology ✅ Breast ✅ Infectious Disease ✅ Dermatology ✅ So done with all my 1 week placements for this semester. Really enjoyed them. I really enjoyed my 3rd year of medicine and so far 4th year is seeming even better! The teaching is better and it makes such a difference that the online material we are covering correlates with the placement this year so you have a better idea of what’s going on when on placement.
My first 4th year placement is Oncology and it’s nearly over! We only have a week on Oncology and tomorrow’s my final day. 😢 I’ve really enjoyed this placement, I didn’t expect to find it as interesting as I did. I feel like it’s a speciality where you can have a really profound impact on patients’ lives; and also patient stories can really impact you. I’ve met quite a few very memorable patients in this block, who I’ve not been able to stop thinking about after speaking to.
Induction week begins tomorrow and I’m getting all ready to move back out to uni. 📚
Long time, no post. So my intercalation year is finally over, dissertation finally submitted and now I’m enjoying these last few weeks of the my summer before it’s time to get back to Medicine. I’m pretty excited to get back to it! This year has definitely been the break I wanted and I hope I can return with one newfounded motivation.
New stationery always makes me happy. Love this little bundle from @Ryman, they have such a good variety to suit all your revision needs. Looking forward to being able to enjoy the Summer and then putting all these flashcards to good use when resuming Medicine next year! @silvine_uk @stabilouk
