🏥 Life updates 3 months into my standalone FY2 year 1. I’ve become much more comfortable in my role and feel confident managing most cases. I know when to escalate and can pace my clerk-ins smoothly. Most importantly, I’ve learned I don’t have to get everything right.

4. I bought a car A blue 2010 Ford Focus with 73k miles on the clock that I’ve grown to love. I bought it from a dealer with a warranty and a new MOT. Drives well and reasonably cheap to insure. Hopefully easy enough to sell on when I decide to upgrade.

I’m the most senior person in the hospital on nights, there are no regs. I thought this was a training job. I don’t understand how I’m expected to learn in such a stressful environment with so much responsibility on my shoulders.
