Hi folks, How’s it going? 🙂 I hope you’re alright and had a good week so far. I’ve found this really awesome music streaming website.

Surgery is fascinating
March 18, 2012
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 …
Here Comes the Sun
March 16, 2012
The plan for the week was to recover from Spring Break but my American University workload has decided otherwise. Straight off the back of our drive back up the east coast through the night I really did have to hit the ground running. I have also become aware of how fast time is flying and …

You know when you’re a kid and you try and avoid thinking about the start of term at the end of summer?…’cause you really don’t want to go back to school. I’m trying really hard to avoid thinking the opposite- the END of term. As the year gets on you get a feel for this …

There’s been a death in the opposite house
March 11, 2012
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 …

Hey gang – Can’t believe it’s been a week already! So much has happened in the last week, and so much is still to happen in the next few days – I’m living for Wednesday next week when life slows just a little (although still frantic) and I finally have a few moments to collect …
Clinical phase is tiring
March 7, 2012
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 …
Bowling, RED IP and What are Universities For?
March 6, 2012
Graduation tickets have come out, both for the ceremony and for the ball. I’m still debating whether or not I want to push the boat out and get the dinner ticket for £68. All the entertainment tickets are gone. (BOOOOOOO) I’m still excited for Societies Ball in May though. That’s a ball of some sort …
