Layla's space: On becoming a cantankerous old sod
http://laylasramblings.blogspot.com/2010/01/on-becoming-cantankerous-old-sod.html
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams it is still a beautiful world. Saturday, January 23, 2010. On becoming a cantankerous old sod. I really am incredibly intolerant. Forget it. Don't get me wrong, I do sympathise with people having a genuinely shit time, e.g. young patients with horrible brain tumours who have months to live (and most of them are just so bloody. Breast cancer patient (cured, under follow up): 'Right I've made a list of things I need to ask you'. Oh, that's very organised of you!

http://laylasramblings.blogspot.com/2008/12/to-someone-i-never-knew.html
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams it is still a beautiful world. Monday, December 01, 2008. To someone I never knew. I met you three times. I spoke to you once since then. You were professional, and seemed wise beyond your years. You were efficient, and explained the process clearly and compassionately. When the day finally came, you were there. Sombre, and wholly appropriately dressed, with an appropriate expression. You followed us in one of the appropriately sombre cars. I can't think what...

With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams it is still a beautiful world. Thursday, March 15, 2007. The sun is shining, the weather is sweet.and we might just get an interview after all. Everything just feels better when the sun is shining, doesn't it? Even though the wards seem to smell more than ever, and it's a bit stuffy on the Unit upstairs, and you can't see the X-rays on the screen properly because it's too bright. Worryingly though, the final report isn't due out 'til the end of March, which d...

With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams it is still a beautiful world. Wednesday, February 28, 2007. I have just been shocked and appalled (and I thought I couldn't become any more so today) by something I saw on Dr Crippen's blog. So I thought my CV was good. But this guy's.bloody hell. I am speechless. What a stupid stupid country we live in. Posted by Layla @ 7:59 PM. Links to this post. I don't know who came up with this, but it is beautiful:. Choose sitting at that PC filling-in mind-numbing, ...

With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams it is still a beautiful world. Monday, December 14, 2009. Working in the sticks. Forget it - there was never anyone to answer the phone in the echo department, they refused to fax results and tended to lose most of them anyway. I used to go to the department myself and look through their (useless) filing system until I found the result I needed. Just call me Dr Local Yokel - I'm a total convert. Posted by Layla @ 8:12 AM. Thanks again and enjoy your day.

With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams it is still a beautiful world. Tuesday, May 12, 2009. At the risk of sounding like some crusty old fart saying 'in my day.', WTF is happening to house officers and SHOs these days? There seem to be a lot more incompetent/lazy/unprofessional/downright SHIT ones working at the moment. Is it MTAS? Is it the EWTD? Is it just a general change of attitude and loss of professionalism on the part of doctors in general? Me: 'Was her renal function any better today?

http://laylasramblings.blogspot.com/2011/07/sympathy-for-medical-students.html
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams it is still a beautiful world. Saturday, July 23, 2011. Sympathy for medical students. Hello Long time no post. Just got out of the habit I suppose. However I am now revising for exams (yet again) and thus am always eager to find ways to waste time. Should be an interesting year. I have to go wander around aimlessly now, so I will leave it here.'. Posted by Layla @ 3:12 PM. Nice article, thanks for the information. July 28, 2011 10:38 PM. May 28, 2013 12:26 PM.

With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams it is still a beautiful world. Monday, June 12, 2006. Medicine is much quieter in the summer. Fewer old grannies with infective exacerbations of their emphysema, fewer pneumonias, just fewer patients on the list generally. All of which means that those people who are unfortunate enough to be admitted to hospital when the weather is lovely are more likely to get good service. More complicated patients are more likely to be kept in for full investigation of the...

With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams it is still a beautiful world. Monday, October 30, 2006. First of all may I say that I am currently in the middle of a week of nights, and my patience is running thin what with the complete buggeration of my body clock coupled with seeing too many irritating pissed people who feel the need to present themselves to A&E because (surprise surprise) they feel sick. That isn't even an excuse - does nobody READ? It's embarassing that people who do not speak English...
