Italy will rush 10,000 student doctors into service, scrapping their final exams, in an effort to help the struggling health service cope with the coronavirus onslaught.

Some 2,158 people have died of the disease in Italy since the outbreak came to light on Feb. 21, while the total number of confirmed cases has surged to 27,980, making Italy the worst-hit country outside of China.

I Believe The Students Are The Future

I know that I said the number of posts would reduce, and they will. It’s just that I’ve had a couple of things that were relevant to this blog happen over the last week or so.

On Wednesday I took part in a MOSLER (Modified Objective Structured Long Examination Review). It’s a test that Newcastle University uses to assess 5th year medical students. I was seen by 8 students and was genuinely…

Doctor: Whoa, look at all these students following you! Like ducklings!

Shall we count up what happened?

2 blood tests an hour for 12 hours, then 3 for the last 12 hours of my stay.

A student doctor didn't cap my drip so I spurted 1 pint of blood all over me, my bed, and half the ward.

Aforementioned student doctor didn't think that draining my arm of 1 pint of blood would mean you wouldn't be able to get any more blood for a while, from that arm anyway. He proceeded to stick me with the same needle for 20 minutes, trying to find a vein to tap. I told him to swap arms and he didn't listen to me, then when he finally did he got blood first time around. But he did it with the same needle. (You shouldn't use the same needle more than twice).

A different student doctor did exactly the same thing.

A nurse put my drip up when I was told that it should go down instead, because that was what the doctor said- I told her that and she ignored me. I went hypo.

Student doctors poking me when I'd had 2 hours sleep because they didn't move my bed till half 3 in the morning.

Student doctors crowding round me when I was crying to ask me personally invasive questions for their paper. They could have waited 5 minutes for me to calm down.

And that was just to me. Shall we see what happened to other people?

Elderly woman asked for water and didn't get any for an hour. I gave her mine in the end, because she started coughing.

A nurse on my ward knocked a jug onto a sleeping patient. The patient woke up and the nurse told her she was "making it up".

Another woman started bleeding in bed and was calling for nurses. They didn't come. She stood up to try and get nurses and slipped in her blood. The nurses yelled at her after I went to get them because she was bleeding. They yelled at her because she'd moved to try and get them to stop her from bleeding.

waiting for the boy to get home and then off to sit in a cold smelly dead house for 3+ hours just so some student doctor who doesnt know what the fuck she/hes doing can ask me shit off their 101 to being a doctor questionnaire..

I give you an A...
