I have just finished my last night shift for a year, the last one that I'll ever have to do. It feels good, but the euphoria is blunted a little. One of the hospitals around here was in the news, I think that it was more for the nurses than the doctors, they want staff to take 6 months unpaid annual leave and to work just one extra day on a voluntary basis with no pay. I found it difficult to believe. Let a few of the middle managers go and that would make up the shortfall. I would like to know how many shifts I have already worked for free in the extra half hour here and there when there are sickies on the wards. They don't have any f**king idea do they?
I'm glad that I'm finishing hospital medicine, and I've only been in it for 4 years. I think I can do more to help people in general practice than battle The Machine.
BA cabin crew have got the right idea but I hope they're not on strike on the 24 Feb.
