20? 21?

i don't even know what day it is anymore, is it saturday? is it sunday? i don't really know -_- not that it matters since i will still have to go to work every day until next friday anyway.

was going to attempt to swap a weekend so that i could go to the christmas markets in edinburgh and glasgow with yuen khai and ben

but i have now decided that i probably won't because i am too tired for shit like that

(not referring to going for christmas markets, i don't think anybody could be too tired for christmas markets!)

sorely need to stay out of the hospital for more than 24 hours. i swear when next weekend comes i will be in bed for the better part of saturday. lmao. will be having the house to myself, YES PLEASE THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

on a more serious note, i'd also say that having worked such a long stretch has also given me quite a lot of insight into what being a doctor entails, and the very profound effects simple acts of kindness can have on patients

have had to deal with several stroppy radiographers, BTS technicians/on-call lab techs and phlebotomists who often ruin my day, but the patients and nurses (who are a tremendously wonderful bunch whom i shall miss very dearly!) help keep me borderline sane

(i strongly advise any highly enthusiastic doctors/doctors-to-be against working more than 12 days in a row if you can help it - the range of emotions i have felt over the past almost-3-weeks has been hellish and overwhelming)

anyway i am feeling quite tearful now because i am too tired so i really should get some sleep

good night!
