First day

My first day was uneventful.  The security people had my room key, but not my i.d. request from personnel, which felt inauspicious.  However, the first doctor I saw was a lovely surgeon, my favourite in fact, who had told me in my finals OSCE that I should come and be her house officer!  That felt a bit more auspicious and I cheered up.  The rest of the day was spent doing administrative things.  The talk was good, the medical staffing team organised, efficient and excellent (I know, I was shocked too!), but the IT training was incredibly slow, in a hot room, after lunch.  I am still impressed that I stayed awake through the whole hour and a half.  The only other bonus was finding another silly creature who likes spending their weekends cycling around big hills looking for good views, tired legs and pubs.  She and I will no doubt be off on bikes in the near future.  No medicine today, but shadowing my predecessor tomorrow, so no doubt I will have some more to report anon.
