Who needs a break?


Easter holiday has officially started. Well, at least for the non final year medics in Sheffield, it has. Yes, as sad as it sounds, I do not get a break this Easter. Apparently, we, final year medics, do not need a break from all of the strenuous placements and assessments for the past 3 months because we are made out of iron. We are expected to continue with the remaining 6 weeks of placement, which involves going in for placements (and I will be chucked in peripherals for this last placement and I know I will be missing the abundance of freedom that I am enjoying from my current placement) and not forgetting the hype of preparing for our final OSCES, without a holiday because we do not need a holiday.

After these placements, we have 6 days (?!) off for reading week, and then we will just go and sit for our exams. And then we have a week off to go all crazy and burn ourselves under the hot summer sun, but i expect this one week will be filled with frequent episodes of palpitations, insomnia, and maybe even a few bouts of hyperventilation as we will be getting our results in a week time. If we pass, insyaAllah, we will go straight in for another 2 weeks of shadowing in the hospital where we will be working and only then, FINALLY, we have our break.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH.
