Scott's Spiel

This week marks the end of block 9 and next week is the beginning of my SSM on pain management. This block has dealt with a lot of clinical topics encompassing cardiovascular, renal and respiratory medicine. Which, on the whole, is a lot to cover in 5 weeks. It was, to be honest, pretty boring though. I’m not sure whether this was related to my group being very ambitious and dealing with every topic down to the level of quarks and leptons. Slight hyperbole perhaps, but it’s how I feel during feedback.

Next week, however, is probably the most I’ve looked forward to something for a while. Well, next week itself is mainly a prep week for the 4 which follow. It does, however, start with a timetabled 2 hours(!!) of PowerPoint. I don’t know what the hell they plan on doing with us for two hours concerning PowerPoint but I can tell it’s going to bore the hell out of me.

A quick dash back across to the other side of the city for a proper introduction to the module follows that. Here, hopefully, we get out timetable for possible clinical sessions in the next 4 weeks. We have to attend a minimum of 9 with a session being either a morning of afternoon. I’m looking forward to pretty much all of it, with anything ITU even more interesting.

It may, however, put me off anaesthesia for life but I’d rather discover that now that 6 years down the line.

Finally managed to sort out another Family Project visit for Friday, so I’ll be all babied out.
