The more things change ...

I am quite enjoying my GP placement. Last week when I had an external assessor sit in for half a day and "inconspicuously" watch me consult, he said I was "pretty good for a first-term intern". And, safe in the knowledge that my terms this year are strictly laid out and non-negotiable, my supervisor recently asked if I'd like to stay for the whole year. Very encouraging.

And today I spent the afternoon with a Wiggles bandaid on my finger after cutting my finger opening a tin of Milo at lunch time. Then I had to leave a consult partway through because the patient couldn't take me seriously until I'd rid myself of my hiccups.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

This is not a ghost town

A couple of shots from the town where I'm placed ...



... yeah that's my mailbox.
