I reflect on two years in the emergency department as medicine becomes less of an obsession while teaching me its greatest lesson: humility.
END OF BST 2
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.

I begin FY2 in Gozo, trading Malta’s hospital chaos for a slower, smaller system that challenges me to rethink how I work.
Unravelling
I lose myself to medicine, burnout and hundred-hour weeks before rebuilding a life beyond hospital walls.
