It’s been a very busy a hectic week, one I’ll be glad to see the back of. Thankfully, we’ve had no major backfire from the flat escapade (yet!). A few more 4 beds have popped up, so we’ll go see them at some point. In saying that, a certain someone doesn’t seem keen on visiting others.
Managed to get my third coursework mark back - no idea what happened to it though. Happily, it was a B, which means I’m going back up (BCB). Still have 1 piece outstanding (who knows…A? pfft!) plus the MILE which they aren’t exactly rushing to give us back.
Our original facilitator for this block was back yesterday. It turns out my theory was wrong and she is not a supply. She was a little bit more cheery yesterday but she wasn’t exactly pushing it. We have her marked as a possible biochemist…just need to find out her name.
Interviewing the actor on Tuesday wasn’t half as easy as I was expecting. I had the angry mother who was furious at discovering her 15 yr old daughter had been prescribed the pill. I was meant to explain to her all about competence, Gillick & Fraser Guidelines. However, in previous actor interviews all I had needed to do was extract information from the pseudo-patient, not give it. Angry mum wasn’t too pleased and demanded to see the doc which cut the interview short. In retrospect, yes, I could’ve given a little bit of info but wasn’t expecting to need to do so. I also hadn’t heard of Fraser Guidelines before then (but could’ve talked about Gillick I guess). Got the interview recorded, which I’m dreading to play back. Hopefully my next angry mother will get a better deal.
We’ve been back in the dissecting room this week, which is where I’m about to head off to. Better go try and find food first or else I’ll be starving after. (I should point out, the chemicals make you hungry…not the actual dissecting).
