junior doctor

i've discovered a new blog; it's the diary of a junior doctor working in a hospital somewhere in england for the NHS:

he sounds like the kind of doctor you'd want to treat you: intelligent, knows his stuff, does his job well, but most of all he's compassionate and kind to his patients.

i think i'm a little smitten!

CET :o)

p.s. i've just finished reading the book "bloodletting and miraculous cures" by dr. vincent lam - a collection of short stories connected by the lives of a group of doctors - the book started off a bit slow, but picked up pace, interest and intensity and by the end of it i couldn't put it down until i was done reading. i won't give it away, but there was one story where it was so intense that my heart was racing as i read it; at the end of the story i had to put the book down and compose myself, letting my heart rate return to normal, before picking it up again.

p.p.s. being a student in the field of pharmacy and learning about medicines get me all excited about one day being able to helping people in such an immediate and tangible way.
