Went to Alton Towers last week
Bought a bear and called him 中黑 coz he was black with flecks and coz I already have a 大黑.
Now on elderly care which I was really anticipating because Paula is working on the elderly ward and my plan was to velcro myself to her and learn loads. Reliable rumour says that teaching is quite good/hard-core + regular too, which is so rare in an inblock. I guess geriatricians do make really good teachers coz they are generally very patient and they have to have wikipedian knowledge.
BUT. Some smart ass went to suggest that we do 3 community weeks in Loughborough + 1 more week with Pharmacology students. Which leaves 3 weeks left (12 days after taking away weekends and Friday lectures and random talks) to do our workbook plus the manymanymanymanymanymanymanymanymanymanymanymanymanymany innocently hidden tasks within it. And also only 3 weeks to go on the wards and shadow Paula and get good teaching. The outblock people esentially get 7 whole weeks to chill out.
Community attachment is good... and I think we do have to know it particularly for elderly care... but we had done most of it before and it really was not worth spending 5.70 on trains + 3.20 on the bus every day + several hours travelling there for repeats of GP and home visits and specialist nurse clinics. POUNDS! That is like $20 man! Which is the amount I use to top up my ez-link card. Honestly... all that could have been done in a week :/ The Pharmaco thing sounds good actually but even then... I don't think we need a whole week allocated to that D:<
Ok Lilian Too says I should lie low and control my temper this month. And Yi Ling says I should take deep breaths.
But still. I have only seen... 1 patient in the past 2 weeks.
