Rehab.

Hi!
Welcome to my blog. It's much the same as it usually is, but now with more drug trips!

I've been sick. For a month now. I was sick, resorted to a course of Augmentin, got better for a week (kinda) and now I'm sick again. And now I'm best friends with Doxycycline. I am so sick of being sick. It's ironic. But my lymph nodes and my head don't usually compete for space at the top of my neck.

In other news, I went through the system of applying for third year placements. It was exciting to plan for the future, but annoying that the computer didn't necessarily agree with my intentions. I volunteered for a pilot group, but got denied. My second preference in the sticks was also passed over. In the end I was assigned a spot right here in at FMC. I was a bit annoyed by that, getting my 4th preference, which I didn't really want. Whilst another person got the place I wanted on their fourth preference. Whatever the algorithm is, it doesn't love me! I'm not going to complain though, it works to satisfy the greatest number of people and that's how it all pans out.

Fortunately another person also got their 4th preference, in the Hills /Mallee /Fleurieu region. So we've arranged to swap and I'll hopefully be heading South for a year. Though not that far South I guess! I'll end up somewhere between Port Elliott and Mannum if all goes to plan.

I'll have more to say on the issue in the future I guess, but in the end a good educational opportunity should come forth.

So that's my update. Short and sweet. I'll resume more regular blogging now that I'm back from a short week off.

Bye now!

  1. The selection process for such allocations at Sydney is a combination of a large spinning wheel and divination derived from the entrails of recently deceased patients.

    Surprisingly however, it is far more sophisticated than the system used to allocated internship places.
