Expect a shit post - watching Bizarre ER on iPlayer at the same time...
No more exciting trauma stuff... I'm in the local uni's research labs doing stem cell work.
MASSIVE REVELATION: I am not cut out for lab-based research.
Too slow, too imprecise (results wise), no clinical background on any of the patients. In fact, no patients. Wait a second... serious deja vu occuring.
Oh yeah, I did a day in the NHS cyto & molecular genetics labs. 3 years ago. It sucked. It made me realise that I wanted to do medicine, and not just medical sciences.
The same is still true. Give me people. Sick people. And not just their haematomas! That is all I have to say on the matter.
[Although I did get quite attached to 'my' cells today. Even though they were stupid lazy cells and have died instead of proliferating. What happened to standing up for the non-smokers, eh guys?]
In exciting news (honestly), I may have an Ortho placement! Finally got hold of the right admin people (a month after my first attempt), just need to beg several uni-based people to do various documents!
Diary looks busy - 3 birthdays in the next week, plus 2 or 3 more lab days, a trip down to Reading to see my first ever best friend (still goin strong since 4 years old! Oh yeah!), 4 days employment (money money money!!! I have missed you!!), the week in Ortho, Christian festival (downside: camping. Upside: free entry for volunteering), and then the parentals go back to school! Sometime in that period, a house needs to appear....
