Head-in-sand


All around me is (be it seniors chatting, or reading other medical blogs): of how the MMC is mangling, rather than modernising medical careers; and of the number of SHO's immigrating as the number of jobs available for specialist training is less than half the number of SHOs; of the various things that need to be done to ensure that you get a job interview (forget about the job itself!); of the nightmare interview panels.

My response is to assume ostrich position.
I don't want to know.
Not now at least.

My dream is to become a doctor when I grow up.

I'm average. Mediocre. To put it another way, there isn't anything that great about me really.
But I do care about what I want to do. And I cannot imagine myself doing anything else.
I doubt that's enough for a selection committee though.
I'm not looking forward to the purgartory that lies ahead.
Medical school was not the end of it. It was just the beginning.
