Just about half-way through internship

Oh, wow, I'm almost half-way.

I've been THAT busy that I haven't even had time to blog. I have no idea whats happening in the world either.

So I completed 8 weeks of Gen Med which means I have to do two more to meet the minimum requirements as set by the Medical Board of Australia. I've just done 11 weeks of Emergency Medicine (minimum 8) and have two more weeks of this term then I'm half-way through internship! That is if you include the first 5 weeks which I wasn't technically officially working (see previous posts) as my "leave". (I'll take paid leave after Jan 14th 2020 so I can finish internship on time).

I have learned  A LOT. It has been really difficult. I've struggled a lot as well. There's nothing quite like feeling stupid all day, every day, and working you butt off to only meet minimum requirements! I'm not sure I'm even meeting "average".

Luckily for me though, my Home life is amazing. We have bough the most beautiful house that I'm totally in love with and is like a "dream house". The kids and husband are great too and living in this area there is so much to do and so much beautiful nature that I'm so happy when I'm not at work.

Anyway, I have to only write a short post as I've come into work early to sit in the library and prepare for a WBA assessment today. I have passed the first 3/3. I need to pass 16/20 in total to get my full "general" medical practitioner registration.
