I reflect on two years in the emergency department as medicine becomes less of an obsession while teaching me its greatest lesson: humility.
Equilibrium
After a perfect birthday week, I returned to an ED caught between grief, illness and recovery, somehow finding my balance in the chaos.
Falling Short
I face injury, heartbreak and a one-mark exam failure as the plans I had carefully built begin to unravel.
END OF BST 1
Reflecting on the end of BST1, choosing emergency medicine, keeping travel alive, and proving that medicine and life can coexist.
Restarting
Back in the emergency department after a year away, I tackle my first patient, shake off the rust, and realise exactly where I belong.
The Big Return
Back in scrubs after a year away, I return to emergency medicine expecting anxiety and chaos, only to find an unexpected welcome.
