Booked!

Everything is officially booked for my NZ trip! I now have flights to and from Aukland and Christchurch and places to stay, so its official I'm totally going! Now I just need to figure out what to do!

PM room week DONE!

This week I was in the PM room, which was a nice change of pace from ECC. Its been a really nice week there, plus we've had a few tutorials on bacteriology and parasitology that were pretty helpful as well. I have Friday off, which is awesome! So now I'm mostly working on my portfolio, gross, and tomorrow probably doing a bunch of vet prep which will be extra fun. Also I booked my NZ flights so its official! I'm going!

Public Health and Pathology

This is the start of my PHP rotation and so far its been grand! We're in the PM room for the week and its a very relaxed schedule, its great to have some time to breathe and do some work, plus the PM room is always a good time. Today we worked on two horses so that was pretty ineresting and hopefully ome interesting cases come in. For now I dont have to be in until 1:30 tomorrow, so great!

Done with ECC!!!

This rotation is FINALLY OVER!!!! I'm so glad to be done with this crazy long and tiring rotation. It's been a lot of fun, stressful, I feel like I learned a lot, prescribed a lot of Sildenafil (10 points if you know its trade name ;) and now I'm done and I can sleep and have a bit of a break and study more for the freaking NAVLE. I also picked my NAVLE date, which was a bit of a faff, but its all sorted now so thats good. Next I have public health, so this weekend I'm going to finish the last few assignments that I have for ECC and doing a bunch of vet prep hopefully. Very exciting, but its nice to have some time to sort my life out a bit!

Done with nights!

After a crazy week of nights I'm DONE with nights! So glad to not be coming home when the sun comes up. It was really crazy, but it's finally over and I'm getting back into the groove. Now I'm on cardio which was SUPPOSED to be pretty chill, but so far we've been absolutely slammed, so who knows how the rest of the week will be! Only a few more days of ECC are left and then I'm done with my 2nd rotation!

Done with internal medicine!

I made it through my 2 weeks of internal med! It was a crazy 2 weeks but it actually was really fun, though a bit stressful at times, but its done now! We got some really interesting cases in, even a pretty exciting emergency when I was on lates the other night so that was pretty exciting! Its been interesting to see what kind of things get referred to specialty hospitals and look at fun things like MRI and CT that I wouldn't in general practice. Its also been helpful in a weird way to see how other hospitals work up cases and the correct and wrong way to work up certain cases and what steps people tend to miss out, etc. This week coming up I'm on out of hours, so I get to work 6pm-6am all week! Fun times! This weekend since we had it off and have been trying to stay up later in preparation for OOH we just wandered around city centre on Sat and it was so lovely outside! I got my vet ball dress (pretty early, but it was just so pretty!). Today we went to a ropes course thing up n Aberfoyle which was really fun. It was clear blue skies today and we ziplined over a big valley and there was an amazing view and it was really pretty! Nice to see the highlands when its not horrible and rainy outside! Tonight I'm just staying up as long as I can and drawing my blackout curtains to sleep in!
