so, its june, nearly halfway thru the year and i'm nearly at the end of another term. rehab was fun, mainly because its laidback and very easy for me to get on top of things. the few times i've been busy are when patients get acutely sick (which is sort of good for me to handle, not so great for the patients) or when we have lots of discharges and new admissions (these always co-incide because the waiting list for rehab is always long). but i've had enough of old people with broken bones, and long detailed discharge summaries, and doing other doctors' work (as soon as a patient gets accepted for rehab, the acute services doctors neglect them and leave things undone coz hey, the rehab guys will have to do it), and being treated like a halfwit nobody by cardiology registrars. well that last thing wont change, but still, surgery ought to be much more fun than rehab. probably a higher volume of useless paperwork, but nonetheless there should be more action.
