Ah the NHS, where you hear about your imminent redeployment on the grapevine, but no one actually bothers to inform you directly. But don’t worry there’s virtual yoga because mental well-being is important 👍🏻.

A&E; shite rota and relentless workload, and yet every now and again a reminder of the variety and wonder of a career in medicine. Today, an 102 year age gap between my oldest and youngest patient, both discharged safe and well. Quite remarkable.

FY1 duty 467 that medical school did not prepare me for: how to balance on a step ladder, lean into a morgue fridge and identify the occupant without falling in. #fy1life #faomed.
