Back in Inverness again

I say that Inverness is a brilliant place for doing blocks.
With the exception of paediatrics I think.
Been having cardiology week.
It has been a great week, although I think I do need to catch up on my studies.
My ECG skills have been improving.
I used to look at the ECG, and go totally blank, but now it seems to be making a lot more sense.
and I'm getting good at listening to murmurs.
I used to think physical examination was so difficult.
I think the more you do it, the better you will get at it.
Anyway having a good time at clinics, and in the hospital.
Lots of smiley, friendly faces :)
Been learning a lot of new stuffs too.
The consultants here aren't as busy as in Aberdeen, so teaching here is great,
and I like the way they ask me question, and stimulate me to think. Like it's not stuff I can just read off the book and regurgitate. You need to have good clinical knowledge and work things out.
Oh yeah getting zha in clinics.
Consultant hands me the sheet of medication, and asks me, "please comment on the medication"
or "what's the management for this patient"
and I would stand and think for a few seconds before the answer pops into my head.
hahahhaa.
okay, hope I can accomplish much in terms of studying this weekend.
