The newbie

It's started and it's good. My new GP job that is. The first day, last Wednesday, was not so good because it was filled by the Summative Assessment MCQ, nice one to start us off. All a bit random, but I guess that is the nature of GP, never know what will come through the door next.

Thursday was my first proper day at the surgery. It is great. Nice and friendly but a lot to take in in the first few days, learning the computer system (I haven't crashed it yet) and everyones names, and how to drink so much coffee and tea. I was in at the deep end a bit going on a visit on my first day by myself, but it was fine. Prescribed some antibiotics and was called on Friday by the patient because they had the shits, cause and effect...

I was a bit worried that I would miss the hustle and bustle of hospital medicine, but so far I think that I have made the right choice, and it's fun.
