A Life In The Day Of A Basics Doc: 2.3 x 10!!
http://basicsdoc.blogspot.com/2011/09/23-x-10.html
A Life In The Day Of A Basics Doc. My Life, Their Lives: saving lives at the roadside. Thursday, 15 September 2011. And other parts of my anatomy! Brands Hatch Race Track is a killer. I can say this with authority. It is 2.3 miles of pain and effort. How can most of it seem to be going up? It felt like I was riding in a picture by M C. Escher. You know, the one where the steps just keep going up and up, and yet still join in a circle. Well, he had to beat me, but only by one. 21 September 2011 at 18:01.

A Life In The Day Of A Basics Doc: August 2011
http://basicsdoc.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
A Life In The Day Of A Basics Doc. My Life, Their Lives: saving lives at the roadside. Wednesday, 10 August 2011. For All The Wrong Reasons. It's a quiet day in A&E. Not all that unusual; after all, a lot of people are on holiday in August, so the population has gone down. The emergency 'phone rings in the Department. It's for me! I call out to the staff that there is an opportunity to accompany me. There is a scurry of activity, as Baldy and Newby fight for the right to join me. Steady on, lads! I am an...

A Life In The Day Of A Basics Doc. My Life, Their Lives: saving lives at the roadside. Friday, 9 September 2011. What a busy day I have had! 5 minutes from home my bluetooth phone rings. Assuming it's MrsRRD, checking on my arrival ETA, I answer with a "Hi, Darling! After all, who else would be ringing me? I find myself on the M25. What on Earth am I doing here? Fortunately, my faithful Sasha (the SatNav - don't you have a name for yours? I arrive on scene: well, the point at which Sasha tells me I am on...

http://basicsdoc.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
A Life In The Day Of A Basics Doc. My Life, Their Lives: saving lives at the roadside. Saturday, 16 July 2011. I lead a surreal existence, I think to myself at 04:45, lying next to MrsRRD, sleeping soundly. Only an hour ago I was asleep too, after a long day at work, and a relaxing(! And now, only 30 minutes after I have pronounced life extinct, I am back in bed, chasing sleep once again, knowing that, for now at least, it will be just beyond my reach. Sunday, 10 July 2011. Saturday, 9 July 2011. I told ...

http://basicsdoc.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
A Life In The Day Of A Basics Doc. My Life, Their Lives: saving lives at the roadside. Monday, 15 November 2010. Ah, Monday mornings! How I love my Monday mornings! You see, I don't go to work until 4pm on a Monday, so for me it's a continuation of my weekend, just without the noise of 5 smaller people. Want to come with? I enquire of Mrs RRD. She acknowledges that this might be fun, and I rush upstairs to get dressed. As I run down the stairs she is passing in the opposite direction! Some of you eagle-e...

A Life In The Day Of A Basics Doc: Avoidance
http://basicsdoc.blogspot.com/2011/12/avoidance.html
A Life In The Day Of A Basics Doc. My Life, Their Lives: saving lives at the roadside. Thursday, 15 December 2011. I've been avoiding you, dear Constant Reader. I look back, and see that the last time I ventured here was three months ago. It's not that I haven't thought of you, nor that I haven't had anything to say, no jobs to post. In fact, quite the contrary. There are some that I want to tell you about, and some that I need. But I still have the need. So, dear CR, read on. 17 December 2011 at 01:12.

A Life In The Day Of A Basics Doc: April 2011
http://basicsdoc.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
A Life In The Day Of A Basics Doc. My Life, Their Lives: saving lives at the roadside. Monday, 25 April 2011. What a lovely day! We are all very bubbly, despite the lateness of the hour, as we drive home. I've spent the day with Besty, Mad Dog, our wives and children. We have eaten too much, spent too long in the sun, even played some rugby with the kids, and now it's off to Chez RRD, and then to pack the kids off to bed. So, I could sit here, and wait for someone to come and get me. But that does se...

A Life In The Day Of A Basics Doc. My Life, Their Lives: saving lives at the roadside. Thursday, 15 December 2011. New Boss is in the front seat, holding on for dear life as I hit the road. The two of them continue to joke about my driving skills, and about how different I am out here, compared to in the Department. We drive back to the Department, each lost in our own thoughts of what we have witnessed. I cannot have my patient's confidentiality breached. That's an absolute. There is no grey are...If I ...

A Life In The Day Of A Basics Doc: January 2011

A Life In The Day Of A Basics Doc. My Life, Their Lives: saving lives at the roadside. Monday, 31 January 2011. Do I have enough syringes? Are the batteries in my laryngoscopes still live? There is nothing I can do about these things now, as I drive into the car park to a block of flats near to where I live. This is not a particularly selubrious area, and I am comforted by the number of blue lights and police vehicles I can see parked up. I jump out and grab my gear. Ok, number 63. Where is number 63?
