Reminiscing about Wimbledon...

Beautiful flowers in a hanging basket

Red and white flowers- v vibrant!!

Here's a pic from Wimbledon last year!! V lucky:)

Another beautiful sunny day!!!:):):)

Today was another v interesting day on work experience. Firstly I went to a Cath Lab that looked at patients heart to primarily check that the blood vessels are all working normal and none of them are blocked. Consequently, I therefore saw intervention on patients who had blocked vessels, for example one patient had to have a stent to widen the blood vessels. This is because if the blood vessel is blocked  it could cause a heart attack.

In the afternoon, I learned lots of different clinical skills which tbh I found it be tricky! First up was injections so we had model arms that we had to inject. Another skill was looking at vital signs so blood pressure, heart rate and temperature and how you can measure these things to then decide what the next action should be and the amount of monitoring a patient requires. Moreover, perhaps my favourite was taking blood because probably I could do this one!! Finally, we learned how to do stitches on a patient which you would assume would be fine especially if you are a keen sower but as unfortunately I am not I found this the  most difficult especially with all the utensils that you had to use.

However, all these struggles did not really matter because it was so so so so hot! It seems this week is always boiling as it was last year when I was in London. Actually, this time last year I was in Wimbledon!! My mum and I were trying to remember who we saw play and I think we concluded we deffo saw Tsonga but not sure of the opponent! I loved Wimbledon especially being able to go onto Centre Court and sit relaxing on Henman's Hill.

Tomorrow I am going to A&E which should be very exciting. But from someone's account today A&E was v quiet so they were not able to see much. Hopefully tomorrow will be busier (that I know sounds wrong:/)

Finally, I'd just like to say I can't believe in three days of me starting this blog I have had 100+ views- crazy- thank you!! But please remember to comment and leave your views or opinions on anything I have written about, especially if I have something wrong or if you have any advice etc for me! V much appreciated!!

Thank you so much for reading!!
