Racism and Medicine: Why You Should Take More Notice

The recent unfortunate events that we’ve seen around the world have got me to really reflect on the topic of racism, and in particular racism in healthcare. We all know racism exists very prominently in today’s society – a sad reality that’s obvious to all those who pay attention to it. Whether that’s in the…

Why Medicine? - in 10 words
Spent a lot of time vaccinating this week, I’ve given nearly 400 vaccines so far! 💉 Some days have been insanely busy, especially when the vaccine centre was open to walk-ins and we were non-stop vaccinating the whole day! I do enjoy doing it, it’s a change from being stuck behind a laptop screen trying to write essays and it’s been so nice to be back in a clinical environment! 🤗 But...I do think I need to put a limit on how often I go in to vaccinate, because when I do go in it’s a full day from 9am-6pm and by the time I get back Iftar* is in less than 2 hrs and I’m too exhausted to do anything else. I don’t have a minute in the day to work on assignments for which the deadlines are slowly creeping too. 😖
Enjoying a temporary change in scenery to help me get some stuff done. This desk was sent over to me by @flexispot.uk for the new office/studio space I’m trying to do up. It has a 2-stage frame and can be elevated for use standing up which is going to be so handy! I still need to get a few more things for it so I can set it up as a nice packaging station, but for now I get to enjoy working in a new space and I’m loving it! 🤗
How’s everyone doing? I’ve been super exhausted recently. I’ve got a dissertation proposal looming over me (less than a week to submit) and then 5 essays to write! 👀 I’m honestly so glad we don’t have essays in medicine, I’ve learnt that I dislike essays much more than I thought I would have this year! 😅
My absence on here recently can be explained by this photo...I’ve been so busy with @itspaperdaisy. Been moving all the stock to a new space, working on brand new designs and preparing for our biggest restock yet (which is only 2 days away now! Eeek 🙈). Take a look at the sneak peek highlight over @itspaperdaisy to see some of the new planners and notepads that’ll be launching soon! I guarantee you will not be disappointed, particularly if you’re a medical/healthcare student, law student or a student who’s looking for note-taking resources. 🤗 super excited!
Love how the weather is brightening up a little, making me think back to last March (which I can’t believe it’s nearly been a year since 😱). Feeling tempted to do some baking again - maybe I will! Anyone got any recipe ideas? What was the last thing you baked? 🍰
Not me unboxing my LOOKFANTASTIC parcel during my zoom class. I was too excited 😆 I got these all using the Student Beans discount so I thought I’d make the most of the deals and stock up on some fun skincare masks - they’re running a 20% off all products until the 21st of February via Student Beans (I’ll link where you can sign up for it on my story). 🧖‍♀️ You can see me having lots of self-care days coming up with all these! #AD
The new semester is starting for us this week which means new modules! This semester I’ve got 4 modules: Genetic Ethics, Global Health, Society & Law and Mental Health Law which all seem as though they’ll be really interesting! Not looking forward to the 4 essays that’ll be awaiting me at the end though 😪
I’ve not really been feeling this account lately and I can’t get myself to post when I’m not in the mood. It’s a cyclical thing, losing my motivation for Instagram, I’m sure others on here can relate 😅
