Another day done.
Certainly not drinking as much tea as on the road.
Got stuck into a long minors cue as soon as I arrived. Quite satisfying to take a patient handover from the ambulance crew (head inj, mech fall), assess patient, stitch head wound, give advice, make arrangements for getting patient home, assess social arrangements and discharging patient from dept.

Also performed a finger dislocation manipulation under n2o and a ring block on a nasty finger lac that finally required plastics referral.

Support from middle grades and consultants seems to be increasing as they become more familiar seeing me in dept.

Had my first official review with lead consultant as well. It went well and was very positive. Plans for next review will include a formal review of cases and paperwork which I am looking forward to. A bit of critical reflection will be good. Also need to start thinking about writing experience up for a publication. Any ideas on a postcard;).
