end of ST2

 So, this is the last week of my ST2 rotation, yaay!!! 

Time really flies when...well...it is just flying. 

I have learned a great deal about oncology care and level three neonates, as well as a lot about the nature of the work and myself. 

What have I learnt:

- I love money, and my job doesn't pay enough 

- I love my job as a doctor; I do not think I would trade it for anything, at least for now 

- I learned that I am really slow( to learn stuff as a doctor) and need a lot of support to function independently 

- That I am scared and scarred from previous life-altering team mistakes 

- I do not want to do tertiary neoneates, maybe I will do oncology - God willing 

- I love being within walking distance of work 

- LOVE having a locker and showers there

- I need to learn to type faster 

- I hate having to fight for study leave 

- I love money, but I always regret bank shifts - the pay is pitiful 

- Life is so beautiful, and the body is bloody impressive, and parents are scared

- I am getting better with these six-monthly goodbyes as rotations change

- I have to remember I have a life outside work, and love it 

- French is hard, running is cool, I miss swimming 

- Failing exams is well... what it is, but it is really super inconvenient 

I'd better go; I am doing a locum night shift, and sigh...
