As BST 2 ends, I prepare for an HST interview while protecting the travel, curiosity, ambition, and hope that make the rest of my life whole.
Tying Up
I pass the MRCEM SBA and departmental exam, reflect on a chaotic year and prepare for HST without postponing the rest of my life any longer.
Desensitised
I confront emotional detachment after repeated deaths and rediscover why compassion must remain part of treating every patient.
Unravelling
I lose myself to medicine, burnout and hundred-hour weeks before rebuilding a life beyond hospital walls.
Turbulence
Facing burnout, conflict and an unsafe workplace dynamic while learning boundaries, teamwork and when to seek senior support.
