Day 1.

So this is being called Day 1 of my holidays/stuvac. Mainly because I haven't done any study yet, and hence calling it day 3 would be a bit misleading. However I have cleaned up my room quite a bit. And recovered from my fatigue-plague.

And the study won't start quite yet. This morning I had to go to the tyre place where I found that a) my tyre couldn't be fixed as the nail was too close to the rim (actually I think it was a screw) and b) they don't keep that tyre in stock. But that's ok, they've ordered it for tomorrow and it'll be in at 4. So I just have to not drive on any nails in the next 32 hours.

Then in 9 minutes I am going to see my doctor to have the vaccination that I don't want to have but have to have to stop the surly emails from the clinical school telling me that I won't be allowed to do paediatrics or rural placements without it. I'm under duress dammit! I think I'll write that on my vaccination card: "Boostrix, given 2/7/07, UNDER DURESS". Hehe.

THEN perhaps I will do some study. Haematology first I think. Or something... Or my favourite - EBM! Evidence Based Medicine! Where we look at papers and say "hmmm this is a shoddy study design" or "the sampling isn't very random!" or "why isn't this double blinded?" or "why on earth did they bother doing this study?!". I never get those questions right...
