My time on the island at Gp is finished and I am back to stable internet connections, and coffee shops! the island community was relatively small, so blogging was always going to be tricky as by their nature some thinsg i saw would be very identifiable, and recent media coverage has been banging home the message about confidentiality and anonymity for patiients in blog / facebook etc posts.
The intersting things included:
- surgical emphysema and pneumothorax in someone who fell at night
- managing to palpate a breast lump
- student led surgeries
- phlebotomy
- friday night in A&E
- the various skills fo the GPs - extracurricular
- the ward rounds and community hospital next door
- childhood injections
The next block is child health, and is the start of a run of 3 blocks back here in the city. This is very strange as I had 1 block in the city in the whole of 4th year. Without a 30 minute commute, how does one prepare for the day?
