Medical finals

    Band on the Run

    I posted a story about taking the bar exam many years ago. It was scary. All the years of school and exitement and without so far(admittedly, law school is nothing compared to medical training), all down the drain. Well, mostly down the drain. Fortunately, I was warned by one lawyer about the physical energy required. She advised me to work a serious exercise program. Thank goodness she told me. All was fine the first eight hour day. The second day was more taxing. Finally, I had about one hour left on the exam. Despite years of finals, I could not budge for fatigue. I walked into the ladies' room to splash cold water on my face. Much to my shock, I found about 20 women in the same condition that I was in. One remarked that her father, a lawyer, gave her parting bar exam advice. He did not care whether she passed. Law is only law. There are zillions of valuable things to do in life. He did state that staying in the game was important for future tasks in life. I returned to the exam. I passed. Practiced.

    Others pass. You will pass, too. Every former Witness who fights the good fight for reason and discipline has my support. Imagine that I am cheering for you. I am.

    We need physicians. I admire anyone from a Witness family who can do the hard science and math required. Obviously, you are bright. The discipline required to make it to the exam is even more admirable that merely being bright. I respect you.

    So when you will be licensed?

    Hey band, thanks....

    I'm not bright.. no different to anyone , Just work hard and enjoy medicine. Well done with the law, we have discussed it before. I am so excited when I hear of people reaching their goals like that, becuse of my choices I paticularly appreciate academic achievments because of the work and self dicipline that is involved in meeting them.

    I must admit it is the hardest thing by far I have ever done, i have had to work at 110% for 7 years now, non stop without let up. I started in a class of 60 with 11 getting into medicine, then I was one of 16 mature student of which there are only 9 who have not been removed In the last 6 yesrs. There isnt much left in me, but thankfully a doctors life though a job is somewhat easier, I will have a job with evenings and weekends off for the first time in 7 years, also we get no holidays, just 9 days at xmas, so that will be sweet to get them back... . I miss the normal life and it awaits me soon.

    I register with the GMC this month and I have applied for my first job a few weeks ago all being well shouldnt be long now, but you never know, especially being so tired.

    I go back to my home town in 3 weeks where I am working as a GP all over Xmas, I will have my own room and patients every day, it is my old doctors surgery too, it is all going to be very strange.....
