It'll be fine. I will buy muffins if nobody dies.

Thanks for the muffin - much appreciated. However it turned out to be a little premature - got a crash call to one of mine (the really ill one) about 30 mins after you left. No happy ending.

Sad times. Hope the rest of it was ok.

19 new ones over the day (and that's AFTER some went to COE and stroke ward).

I guess the Dr Foster effect couldn't last forever. :wink:

Good luck tomorrow!

Carnage on-call - **** (from a lap wound), piss, blood and PEG feed on my trousers tonight, but at least I've finished urology.

Congrats mate.

Belated Merry Christmas guys! Hope you all get at least some time off!

Meanwhile I'm contemplating a Tuesday on take after a 4 day weekend... :s:

My flat is a total state because when I get home I just can't face doing any housework. And the boy is ill so he can't do anything :frown:

Also, this week's take has been tremendously unfair - we took 35 on Tuesday (average for our hospital probably 20-30). Yesterday they took fewer than that and today there were FIVE on the list when I left. Sucks to be on/under our team.

Well, there were only 2 yesterday when the RMG came for his mid-take WR. But then apparently it got busy...

I also discovered the CoE nurses' secret stash of all the Christmassy food they'd been given! :eek:

I don't know if any of you guys would be able to help me with this, but it's worth a shot at least...

My boyfriend is in the process of being diagnosed with (probably) Hodgkin's lymphoma. It will all depend on the staging as to how long treatment lasts, but I'd guess at the very least he'll still be having regular follow-up, investigations etc by August when I become an F2 and move to Medway (in Gillingham). I'd already been trying to swap to get an F2 year inside London just because I don't want to commute that far every day, but this gives me extra impetus to want to be nearer! I've read the criteria for special circumstances, and I'm not convinced I meet them as he's not "disabled," just requiring nasty treatment! I also don't know if it'll count as we're not married, though we live together and his parents are ~100 miles away so I am currently his sole "carer." Plus it's too late anyway - we didn't know at the time when you had to submit your application for special circs. I just wonder if it would be worth dropping them an e-mail explaining the situation and asking to be considered if there are any London F2 posts which are unexpectedly unfilled? I'm trying to arrange something through the swap shop, but no luck yet.

I completely missed that - how horrible - thoughts with you both.

Definitely worth trying - if you don't ask you can't get. Within the North Thames-s there will be FY2 jobs unexpectedly now vacant/up for competition with the stand-alone FY1s as they created some new academic ones...

Hello, sounds like you're both going through some difficult times. I'm not sure how helpful this is, have you maybe considered locum work?
