Residency diaries

This place where I'm doing my current location at? They suck at this. Today I watched them print 46 pages of a discharge paper for one patient. 46 pages. What the hell man who in their right mind is going to read that? It's past short novel length, what is wrong with you

I'm aware that it's been some years since my previous medblr list and previous medblr roll call posts. Over the years we've built a thriving and supportive medblr community, which we've been really lucky to have. I'm using medblr in the widest sense, here - nurses, PAs, pharmacists abd all sorts of other professions are welcome.

Years have passed. Many of us have continued to live offline lives or post less frequently because work, kids, other interests and just life got in the way. Some have changed specialties. I know that there have been years I've been fairly quiet because life was busy! But even if you post infrequently, youre still a valued part of the community. Please feel free to reblog and add yourself to the list.

Some left the sphere of medicine, that's cool too - if you ever identified as a medblr, there's still a place for you here.

New medblr friends have joined - why not introduce yourselves? It would be great to make some new connections in this sphere.

I'm also curious about non medblrs who lurk here for fun.

I'll start first. I'm @dxmedstudent (she/her, late 30s), I also go by Tink (that predates my blog here and is somewhat unrelated). I started my blog here over 10 years ago when I was a UK med student writing med student comics which can still be found over at @dxmedicalstudent .

I spent some years in hospital medicine before becoming a GP this past summer. I haven't changed my name or icons in that time so if you think you remember me, you're probably right.

I have had this blog a while, since I was a 2nd year med student, and now I've graduated, done a masters and been a doctor 5 years and I'm training in the specialty I love

I made this blog more than 7 years ago when I was a 3rd year medical student starting my research year and now I’m in my 3rd year of vascular surgery residency, still trying to somehow navigate surgical and clinical education, research, teaching and good ol‘ hospital politics…
