scarborough
I’m in Scarborough General Hospital with Helen this week and next week. We got here Sunday night, with our big bags, went to the hospital to get the keys, then went to the accommodation. It’s my first week, (well second actually,but last week was just lectures, so that doesn’t count) so, it’s my 1st week doing Peads. We were planning to be very keen, but somehow laziness came over me (as usual) and I haven’t actually get much work done.
Monday, we had a brief introduction, joined the ward round and meet up with some of the house officers. They’re swapping over to different things,so, it’s been really chaotic - with us trying learn something, and them being new in the job. We went to Sainsbury in the afternoon to get some food.
Tuesday afternoon - I went to clinic, and in the afternoon we went to the beach. There’ re two bays in Scarborough, the North and the South. We went to the South Bay, me, Helen, and Rachel and Washari(they’re fifth years). Quite cloudy and very, very cold , but hey, I’ve never actually been to any beach in the UK, so carpe diem! Had our teas (it was mochas actually) outside (although the shop was a bit ‘modern’ - we wanted to have a-traditional-English-type-of-tea thingy),but that’s the only shop there..hehh. I wanted to get some souvenirs, but the souvenirs shop was close (and mind you, it wasn’t even four yet!!). It was a nice afternoon indeed. We couldn’t find our way back - and ended up on a hill (or as Rachel put it - we just went to see the sunset :p). Magnificent it was, subhanallah. I’ll put the picture up, one day. heh.
Yesterday, went to town, did some work. Helen had to go home ’cause her dad was admitted to hospital. And this morning, I braved the snow alone to come for clinic, and had some teaching on baby checks. I’m planning to be real keen today as I’m back to Leeds tomorrow afternoon,but I forget my purse, and now I’m starving. I just don’t want to get a hypoglycaemic attack in the hospital (yeah, yeah excuses, excuses). But, hey, a hungry doctor won’t make the patients better, don’t you think?? haha :p. I honestly did plan to stay till late. Well, maybe I could go home now and come back about 4. hmmmm.. we’ll see..
