NHS doctor. she/they.
Last Christmas, I was self-isolating with actual Covid infection and trying to get takeaways without getting in contact with my vulnerable housemate
This Christmas I will be working
I do observe, I promise, but logistically it is... difficult.
A log for wins at work, because I think I'll need it.
Got drawn into medical take for £40ph with escalated escalated rates after discharge ward round. So having done 10-12 TTAs on the new system, went on the take with a ridiculous number of people to see...
And I've only spent 2 days on frailty, but was immediately given a patient who would clearly benefit – care home resident, came in after a fall, history of dementia. Meaning I knew what sorts of things were good to do for this patient! Had a good conversation re risks and benefits of admission too.
Feels good to have seen and thought about this lots, and be able to apply this in an undifferentiated situation.
