Me, after 2 hrs of studying physics: might just quit anaesthetics actually
Physics is such bollocks.
"A meter is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the speed of light in vacuum c to be 299 792 458 when expressed in the unit m sβ1"
Get fucked, tbh.
Good lord I cannot explain how much I do not care about any of this.
The primary is going a be a bloody slog, isnt it?
Nice little milestone on my on-call yesterday getting my 100th intubation, and on a case I managed start to finish confidently with local supervision.
It's been a hard start, and sure, other people have probs got here faster than me, but I am a proud of myself seeing the difference from day 1 βΊοΈ
15 hours straight working into your 24 hour on call and the surgeons have another potential laparotomy going through the scanner? Have 6 diet cokes.
You certainly wont regret 6 diet cokes.
And just like that, annual leave is over π₯² it was a pretty good one though
