Why Medicine? - in 10 words
Short weekend Dubai trip over and back now in Abu Dhabi now. I do prefer Abu Dhabi to live in but Dubai was a dream, especially this stunning view. 🏙 In our short stay we spent hours just looking out of this window - somehow this view was better than the view from the Burj Khalifa. Definitely going to miss it! 🥺
As you may know, I’m currently on my medical elective in Abu Dhabi. I should’ve probably made a post explaining what an elective is earlier, but better late than never. So let’s answer 2 of the commonly asked general elective questions.
Currently in Abu Dhabi, UAE for my elective. 🇦🇪 The hospital is stunning, literally looks like a fancy hotel over a public hospital. We’ve only been here 3 days but have already noticed so many differences to the approach to healthcare here compared to the UK. It seems like the healthcare system here is almost a perfect idealistic version of the NHS: completely free for citizens, yet very well funded and resourced with specialists coming from all areas of the globe to deliver care.
Just over two weeks and exams will be over which is absolutely mind boggling to me! I am nowhere near ready and motivation has been seriously lacking this semester. 😭
Eid Mubarak! 🌙 hope everyone has had a lovely day! ✨
Today’s the 7th day of Ramadan - hope the month is going well for everyone so far 🌙
Have you ever broken a bone? 🦴
#ad I know I talk about @Quizlet_UK quite a lot, but that’s because I use it a lot! Every week I put all the learning points from our TCD (Themed Case Discussion) cases into a question and answer format on to Quizlet and by the end of the week I have a complete study set on whatever the week’s cases were. ☺️
