man! just my luck!

the one time that i go out the night before, so i get into work a little late and dont have time to see my preops before they come down from the ward and what happens? i get bollocked by the boss for not knowing my patients. the one time. sheesh... just my luck. still managed to deal with all my cases without any problem.

finished the day with acute gynae again. i was assessing the patients beforehand and this gynae registrar shows up. i didnt really get a good look to see who it was, but just handed her the notes for the patient id just finished with and carried on with the next. she asks me "so have you finished with this one chas?". wtf? "...with this one chas?"...

now im very good with peoples names and faces, but this colleague clearly knew me and i didnt seem to know her... this never happens! so i keep quiet about this for a while, hoping that something will click in my memory bank. until of course my boss asks her what her name is, for routine recording in the anaesthetic note. turns out this gynae reg behind the mask (that ive been working with on and off for the past three weeks she says!) was actually zara, andys daughter from med school! im like her uncle! small world or what! she even had the cheek to then tag an extra case to the end of the list!

food of the day:

m&s still water with natural strawberry and aloe vera, 500ml, 85p
