And relax.....

Pretty flowers in my garden!!
Good afternoon!

Hope you are having a lovely weekend so far?!

Today, I have absolutely relaxed. Although, I was very productive this morning as I got up early to run down to the post office to send back parcels that I definitely should have sent back ages ago!!

But then I inevitably flopped for like 6 hours until basically now! I watched two films one which was in French with English subtitles, this was really weird and I did not know how to change it! Oh well, it would've been useful for my brother who is going to Paris next weekend:) I then watched St Trinians, a classic!!

Typically well actually not that typically, I had a nap outside in the sunshine that was v nice. Also, I had a little game of swing ball although I don't think my poor hand eye coordination does me any favours!!

Tomorrow at 6:15 am (omg) I am going to London to Wireless that I am v excited for!! Although I am trying to block out the early start (cry!!!) Hopefully I'll be able to post some pics and in advance I am sorry if my blog tomoz is a tad late!!

Think I am going to go in the shower after I have finished watching The Princess Diaries (love it!!) and prep/pack/get ready for tomorrow!

Thank you so much for reading!!! Recently, I have connected my Google+ account to this blogger so if u want share and follow me, I would love it!!

Hope u have a fab weekend wherever you are!!!

Lots of love

Madness on the operating table.....

Welcome!!

Well what a day...

I woke up ridiculously early at 6:30, v early today but well worth it. Today was theatre day so I had to arrive at the hospital at 7:45 to start at 8. I had to get into the theatre scrubs, basically baggy blue pjs as well as clogs, which surprisingly were comfortable and a hat that was bright yellow!!

It was so interesting being in theatre although there was a lot of hanging around. The operation I saw was a superficialisation of the upper left arm vein, I can't remember the full name!! What I found weird was that two surgeons were cutting up this man's arm and Taylor Swift was blasting on the radio in the corner!!! Also, I don't personally consider myself to be that short but I must be as the nurse got me a stool so I could see the op properly! Very funny!!!

But then there was an emergency call to the X-ray department to carry out a E.V.R.A on a patient whose aorta was v close to rupturing. This was a very exciting time although it was disappointing I was wasn't able to see the whole procedure as I had to go for lunch. What I've noticed very much is the importance of teamwork in the hospital and that the doctor is only a piece of the puzzle. As everyone is reliant on each other. It has been such wonderful experience!!!

After lunch, was our last session of the week so it was quite sad. The people I've met this week have all been so lovely and friendly- we already have a Facebook group message going!!! I was very jealous of some of them today as they were able to go in an ambulance helicopter= v cool.

Tonight, I am babysitting which if I am honest I am a tad tired for but oh well, I'm going to WIRELESS on Sunday and staying overnight in London to go shopping on Monday!! I love shopping!!

Thank you so much for reading tonight....

Lots of love

OMG!!!!

Good Evening,

This post is again later than planned tonight!!! Soo busy...

So today, I had to get up v early (well for me anyway) at 6:45:( not ideal but was well worth it as I was able to able to watch several endoscopes, that were really interesting. The consultant we were fortunate enough to follow was amazing as well as the nurses bedside manner was absolutely admirable!! Also, I surprised myself by not be squeamish during the colonoscopy. I think mindset is really important in these situations and I just kept thinking this patient is going through a lot worse in terms of pain etc therefore me feeling slightly uncomfortable with the smell is nothing!!! It is just like what a junior doctor told us yesterday about dealing with death of patients as he said each patients death is personal and only occurs once in anyone's life so you have to ensure you support them the best you can so they can have the most peaceful as possible send offs. Tbh I was v proud of myself anyway .
I think this has therefore been my fav part of work experience so far!!

In the afternoon we had a talk about applying to medical school which was v daunting and deffo made me put my thinking cap on although think I may leave that worrying until next week.

After work experience today I got myself a Starbucks, a mango passion fruit as always although I am tempted to try something new- what's your favourite drink to have?? 

Then I went over to my Grandmas (or Gmas as I call her) to see her which was lovely and I told her all about this week so far and how exciting and promising it has been!!I Hope you have found it interesting too?!

Anyways, I have a super early start tomorrow need to leave @ 7:15= eek!!!! But hopefully tomorrow I will see v interesting operations in theatre so fingers crossed!!

I'm so sorry I still haven't posted anymore pics but what I am doing atm doesn't really accommodate pics!! I've got a v cool weekend planned tho....

Just a thought, I loved what I was wearing today so may put some pics up in a later blog as believe it is already in the wash- lol!!!

Thank you so much for reading yet again!! Please leave ur comments below and if u even have any questions let me know!

Lots of love

Is PLL now a horror??!!

HELLO!

How are you all this evening? Can't believe how warm it is still!!

Today was a very exciting day! Well it started off a tad rubbish as it decided to torrential rain as soon as I got out of the car that was typical as I had no umbrella!! But then I went to observe A&E and this afternoon we had a talk from a junior doctor that was really interesting.

When I got back home, I was so shattered I actually fell asleep on the garden furniture!! Oops!! I had the biggest bowl of pasta afterwards- v tasty!!

PLL new ep was on Netflix so I watched= wth (initial reaction!) The dance at the beginning was really freaky and I have to say each week it is getting scarier in my opinion!! I love it tho:) Really hope Hanna and Caleb get back together too soon. (Sorry I am partial to a tad of romance.)
As well as obvs finding out who Charles is/A?! Is it Leslie?? Please let me know what u think???

Tonight I also watched Child Genius! The little children are ridic clever- Thomas= insane!! Does anyone else watch it?

Tbh is it the warmer weather or is it just me but I am getting sooo tired atm! Are u?

I think I will end the blog here tonight, time for some shut-eye!! Also, sorry for the lack of pics tonight, think there will be double trouble tomoz!!

Thank you so much for reading again and please leave a comment even if it is just "I love/hate PLL", I'd love to see your blogs as I am finding it hard to navigate blogger!!:)

Lots of love
