The Story Of My Heart...

Foxes and Placement at the Rock
Rose bright and early (i placed 10 alarm clocks with a 15 min interval each) I had to wake up early. I was adamant that i was not late for the first GP placement in my first year in medical school. Gratefully, everything was grand and i arrived 10 mins prior to the clinic's opening hours. My partner for the day had his placement rescheduled, leaving me all alone to manage this foreign situation. All in all, it was an interesting and enriching experience. Dr. spicy food as well as Dr. step-in were really kind to share their world with me. I better get used to being shot questions and reacting quickly to them. Despite everything (mountains of information to study and early hours) i wouldn't change anything. I love doing what i'm finally given a chance to and there's rarely a day where i regret anymore.
Today. It was different being called a doctor. I mean it sounds grand and stuff but being introduced as Dr. C somehow made me feel small and vulnerable like an imposter. I guess its because of my pathetic amount of knowledge and experience. It doesn't help that all the patients were really encouraging. I will do better. I must for they only deserve the best.
On a different note, walking back in the chilly weather (-4 degrees) was made bearable with pretty sights along Westminister road. By pretty sights i mean the huge-ass houses that adorned the road on both sides.
