my week #188

With only two days left of my Obstetrics and Gynaecology placement, I feel really sad. I definitely think this specialty may be the one for me - it's a good mix of clinical medicine, surgery and situations that need quick thinking. It helps that the doctors and midwives have been willing to teach and as a result, I've learnt a lot. I go onto five weeks of paediatrics next and I must confess that although I'm not too bad with kids, sick kids is a whole lot of different.

Yesterday, I woke up to see snow falling but luckily, it didn't settle. Here's hoping this isn't a sign of things to come and that the winter won't be too cold...


How has your week been?

  1. please keep your handwriting as pretty as in the note book, as a pharmacist, I really loathe the doctor's scrawl.
    otherwise, my week has been good.

    1. Haha, Ailyn - I've heard this a few times already on the wards! I do try but sometimes, when in a hurry, it can look kind of messy. I will try though :) x

  2. Oh dealing with sick kids sounds, well, heartbreaking, especially after being with the (possibly) pre-borns. Seems like an odd progression, really, but a good way to ingrain that medicine is a hard thing. I love your spreads, they are beautiful without being over the top as most "beautiful" spreads tend to be :)

    1. Thanks Jessica!

      Every specialty has its sad moments but with paeds, I'm just not interested in the specialty all that much. One of those gut feeling things I guess! x
