Dear Internet.
Please excuse the following rant:
Damn you clinical services, damn you and your ability to take all my carefully made plans and throw them out every single damn window you see. ARGH. So I had a great resident year planned out, - Gen surg, leave relief, vascular, plastics, neurosurg. HELLO DREAM ROTATIONS ANY SURGICAL MINDED RESIDENT WOULD KILL FOR. HELLO SPECIALTIES I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT (mainly the last two). Also, its kind of useful to do resident terms in them because usually they consist of ABSOLUTE CHAOS with only faint pretences at a weekly structure. So, given surgery is my go to plan, it would be nice to not have a completely alien environment thrown on me when I'm already trying not to panic at the thought of being a registrar. BUT. 1) they give me a whole term of goddamn ED which I hate with a passion, and then when big scary boss o' surgical doom goes 'o hai i remember u, maybe i will throw ALL OF YOUR PLANZ TO HELL and make you reg THIS YEAR y/y', you fight the urge to run screaming and instead nod awkwardly and wish it would all go away nao. BUT IT HASN'T. Because, in the last week, clinical services have refused 3 sets of prof development leave I applied for as a resident (BOO), ignored my request for cover because I'm working a night shift in ED and then meant to do a day in vascular AT THE SAME TIME, and sent me an ED roster AS WELL AS a vascular roster because apparantly I am meant to be doing everything all of the goddamn time. What the hell, clinical services, what the hell. My only explanation is that big scary boss has gone down there and confused everyone. In which case, what has become of my carefully planned leave? Does this mean my development leave is now back on? Because so help me if my two weeks of Alice Springs goodness is compromised I'm going down there and giving them the old F U FACULTY speech and asking them to keep me as a resident. Argh I am so sleep deprived and confused right now ://
ALSO I got an interview for SET training, which is alarming given I applied for hoots this year and also means I have to get my arse into gear and study because its a 7 part scenario based shindig this year. SIGH. At least adon and my cat are still awesome.
Yours in disgruntledness, post night shift,
D.
