Halfway through my 2nd 2-week leg at Northampton. Why does everyone not seem to have to study and yet know stuff?

This week was spent in plastics/derm/maxfac. I still think plastics is possibly the coolest speciality there is. Too bad I don't want to be a surgeon :/ You see the craziest things in plastics - people walking through glass doors, people getting their faces sawed open by accident, crazy people sticking batteries into their skin... Plastics is really not the glamorous speciality everyone makes it out to be. If anything, they see the most revolting stuff and have the most morbid party stories to tell.

Nothing much achieved this week. A lot of waiting around and people not turning up to teach us when they should, a lot of time-wasting. Overall a rather unproductive week apart from the fact that I went jogging TWICE so far! Will go again tomorrow.
