A rather gruesome one I suppose, which doesn't actually have an answer so that was a bit mean :P
So what's your end goal for your career?
Then I was introduced to e-portfolio, ST3 job applications and, I guess, the real world!
My current goal is to secure ST3 training in trauma and orthopaedics and make it to consultant level.
Then ill go from there I suppose. -

Best
1. The feeling you get when you do a dynamic hip screw operation (newbie operation) and in the trauma meeting the next day, the bosses are like 'good work, you're making our senior trainees look bad'.
2. When you, and I mean exclusively you, do something that actually results in a patient's life being made better or even saved. Very rare for this to actually happen. But for example when you realise that a patient has a certain infection and you pro-actively start Antibiotics and they make it off the ward alive whereas if you hadn't and some dodgy locum doctor had found them two days later, they would have died.
3. There's this girl...sort of in love with her.
Worst
1. Pay :P
2. Night working
3. Managers -

Well I had all these dreams when I was younger of starting my own hospital and having a staff of 30 surgeons working for me and discovering something so tremendous that I would pitch up to a conference and people would be like 'wow, its him'.
Then I was introduced to e-portfolio, ST3 job applications and, I guess, the real world!
My current goal is to secure ST3 training in trauma and orthopaedics and make it to consultant level.

What sort of things are you doing to try to "stand out" at the ST3 selection?
Im preparing a poster with another trainee to present at a national conference.
Ive done two audits in three years and I'm currently working on one.
I teach medical students and have been involved in a regional teaching program.
Ive got two publications so far; I doubt ill get another one before I apply though.
Then just interview practice. -

First and foremost, trying to fill up my logbook with as many operations as possible.

When you say you are involved with operations, what sort of role/level of involvement do you have as a CST level trainee?
I presume it depends on the operation,,, But I mean, how much is you actually "operating", versus holding equipment for the lead surgeon? -

Do you like to listen to music while you're in theatre? If so, what sort of music?
