Of course, I am not allowed to complete clinical attachments without scattering paperwork like confetti upon not only the faculty office (doom on them) and the doctors, but also very pleasant and agreeable members of the public. Last week I talked to a very kind lady who suffers from horrific pain post-radiotherapy. I felt pretty uncomfortable standing between her and the doctor for half an hour while I filled in a witless pain chart, the only purpose of which, as far as I can see, is to let the palliative medicine guys know we haven't been skiving. We know how to take a pain history. If we didn't, the hospital doctors would still be picking their teeth with our bones.
This week I need to collar someone with a chronic disease. My tutor kindly asked one of her patients if he would mind. Once we were alone, he confessed that he was just about to take his wife for lunch and I didn't have the heart to delay them both with the intensely personal (and slightly stupid) questions on the form. Let's hope my tutor doesn't ask about that one.
