I begin my orthopaedics rotation, meet a chaotic new team and discover a surgical world built on speed, strength and bone.
Out
The dream of clinical training collapses under grief, neglect and mounting pressure, eventually leading to questioning medicine and giving up.
In
The first surgical rotation becomes a defining moment as I scrub in, assist in theatre and realise that I was born to be a surgeon.
Starting Line
A hopeful, humorous account of a first day at medical school, filled with nerves, ambition, competition and dreams of becoming a surgeon.
