When I was knackered, I received fantastic support from the forumites. I have no doubt at all that my recovery was all the faster for this. Benz is
having a tough time in a really tough job and maybe needs our best wishes?
Hope you are feeling a bit better today Benz!

You see? It could be worse!
It could be much worse - you could be a GP.
Keep grinning at the patients and the interview panels through those gritted teeth, doc, and dump your miseries here. You're brilliant. You've stuck with it so far. The next step is the big one, and you're more than ready for it. Think of all that private practice.
See you in Newcastle. I shan't forget the gin!
Cheers, V-rap.
No, aint been sleeping
Up at 4.30, alas, not to run, but to read mybALS cousre manual for 3 hours
Followed by a ten hour course(plus exam), then OUT to deep purple
Was the only one headbanging!!
So thats my exercise for the day!!
Going to get a gin cos theres an application form to do, more course revision and an early pre course ward round
Still , am very glad Im not a GP, Id not have survived it
Thanks for all the support, its much appreciated xxx
(I don't know if you have to do a dissertation or anything - but someone at work wrote in his - right in the middle of it 'and if anyone reads this I'll give them a bottle of whisky' He went into his viva - or whatever you call them interviews - and carried a bottle of whisky in with him - put it on the table and picked it up on the way out. Of course they ended up asking him what it was about - and he told them....and amazingly they still passed him!)
My MD thesis is another on e of the small stresses I hve to put up with
Im still trying to write it inbetween everything else
Wonder what the examiners tipple is?
Yep Vrap, Ive passed basic LIFE SUPPORT TOO!!
Though I shant have much breath to resuscitate anyone if present form is anything to go by!!
Do I detect more of a spring in yer step then?
There once was a woman, a strange kind of woman......
Head up.
Head banging? yer want yer head testing mate.
Any better today?
Nice to see such support coming from different corners.
Back on the ward tomorrow
Im now oficially certified------
(adavanced life support provider)
Thanx for all the support, will try not to whinge in future
Deep Purple were weird, blues stuff and 60s medley
BUT
Smoke on the water---
Laura, it sounde=s worse than it is, Im only one quarter of a renal unit
I exaggerate, of course
As an ITU cardiothoracic trained nurse - prficient in many of the ALS techniques I shied away from the course (and nightmare exams) because of the terrifying reputation of the gruelling course and exam procedures.
Well done Benz-y! and judging from some of the hours you put in and the things you mention, anyway I think you're a far better Doc than some of the "above-it-all" people I've met (and as you'll know a compliment like that from an experienced nurse isn't something to be sniffed at ) )
Back to the ward today
You on duty tonight then?
Tuesday and Wednesday on call next week
