The end of Surgery and the beginning of Medicine

Hello again, It’s weird really. I just published a post this morning but it’s now gone. So, I’ll just write again 😀 As I’ve said earlier this morning, we (medical students in Surgery) got a day off before moving on to Medicine next week. Surgery has been fantastic! I got to help surgeons in Operation …

Salzburg, Austria

Hello again, As promised…here’s Salzburg! I have to say that this is my favourite destination city out of the 3 in my Halfway Breakaway. 2 things which are popular in Salzburg: The Sound of Music & Mozart. So, if you’re a fan of any of these, book your flight tickets. Just look at the pictures …

Prague, Czech Republic

Hello everybody, As you all know, I’m still at King’s Mill Hospital even though most of you are going on a holiday or having fun with your family and friends 😛 I’m enjoying it though. I mean, I love meeting patients and take blood from them (does this make me sound like a vampire?). Anyway, …

The weather outside is frightful…let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. Seriously?

Hello people! Have you looked outside your window? Yeap, I know. I thought it was spring 😛 It began very early in the morning and got progressively worse. It hasn’t stopped since. I tried to upload a short video clip but unfortunately, it didn’t work. Oh well, I guess pictures will do..   Apparently, we’re …

torn asunder

Have you ever trust someone and later finding out that the person is the one who’s responsible for bringing you down? The result for our Honours Year Project was released on Thursday last week. I was ready to see my mark within the range of the majority but I was surprised to see that it …

I’ve completed the Nottingham Advantage Award!

On Friday last week, I logged into My Interfase (a website to check on your personal details and mostly regarding activities for your career development) and found out that I passed my 3rd and final module – Arabic! I was just so ecstatic to finally know that I have completed the Nottingham Advantage …

Surgery is fascinating

Hello readers, As you all know, I’m currently in my Clinical Phase. There are 48 of us doing our attachment at King’s Mill Hospital and we are divided into two whereby half will be doing Medicine for the first 7 weeks while the other half (my group) will be studying Surgery. The first week served …

There’s been a death in the opposite house

The grave news of someone’s death affects us in varying ways. In 2011, approximately 154 138 people die each day worldwide.  If a family member or a close friend were included in the figure, surely we would be emotionally affected whereas if the person who had passed away is just a person whom we never met, then …

Clinical phase is tiring

Hello readers, I’m sorry that I didn’t write anything on Sunday. I’m currently in the Induction Course which runs for a period of 2 weeks and it’s going to end on Friday this week. I’m at King’s Mill Hospital in Mansfield and it’s not that bad. Firstly, I just want to say that it’s exhausting!!! Really …

It’s a whole new beginning!

Hello everybody! My one week holiday was a blast! My favourite destination would be Salzburg, Austria. The sceneries are simply breathtaking. Plus, I even went to a Medical Careers Conference in Liverpool right after my trip was over before coming back to Nottingham. I’ll write about them in upcoming posts though. Anyway, today is the start …
