Enquiry

To be honest I cannot believe that July is going to end soon and it is already the middle of the summer!

Last week the GP visited my patient but as it was my day off I didn't meet her. Anyway, my patients wife mentioned that I'm a nearly graduated Junior Doctor and she was even more happy when she noticed that the GP has been impressed with that piece of news.
Not good for me though. I didn't feel like I have wanted to explain anybody why I am nearly graduated and why a Junior Doctor decided to work as a Carer. However, as far as I know the GP also had to find her own way to start working in GB as she's from South Africa and she was obliged to pass some exams to be allowed to work here as a doctor.


Anyway, today I have again begun to have some doubts about how am I going to start my career in the UK after completion polish internship. Some people claim that it is better to work even for two years as a carer in the UK and then to start doing whole FP in GB, instead of doing first year in Poland and trying to do the second one in the UK.


I might be naive but I have sent an email to GMC and UKFPO to ask them about the possibilities I have now and I may have after the internship in Poland.

Ordinary post

I don't know what to tell you. My days are pretty same.
Maybe except the nightmare which I've had tonight. This doesn't happen very often.

I have probably mentioned already that I like it here. Everytime I go out I dream about owning one of these houses which I admire when I'm walking through this town. Adorable white tiny windows and wooden doors, walls which have been built several hundered years ago and plenty of other details which force me to slowly fall in love with this town.
I honestly do like it here :)

I know it's been not even two weeks since I'm here and maybe I'll be tired in few weeks, but I like my job here. I like people I work for and I like my patient. He's an old clever man.

I would like to write about something more interesting, but nothing unexpected happened lately.
Maybe except the fact that I had to realize the fact that someone who I like has his own life and he'll never become a part of my life and my story.
Time to forget and move on - and I'm desperately trying to do that.

To be honest - when nothing extrordinary is going on in my life for two or three days - I really get soooo bored.. Like today..

Easy mistakes

Drop after drop, one rainy day after another.. This is England. To be honest I do not mind weather like this.

I have begun my tiny research about possible ways of exploring my career in the UK and the most suitable way for me to gain as much experience as I can. So I begun to read about Ambulance Services in the UK and I have begun to wonder how could I get job like this one?
Anyway, I've begun reading Paediatrics again. Slowly, page after page, this is how I like to study.

I give medication to my patient 4 times a day. One time is around 12:30 PM. Today he's been so immersed in the movie he's been watching, that he even didn't notice when I've finished my job! I'm glad - that means that despite his condition, he doesn't mind getting drugs via PEG and sometimes he forgets he's got one some time ago.

It occured to me how easily a serious mistake can be made! Personally, I check the drugs and doses which I'm giving three or four times - but I have plenty of time to do that. In the hospital, on the ward you have to work twice or three times faster than I do now I suppose, so any possible mistake can be made easily. I've realized once again how responsible one should be to administer medications to the patients. Seriously!
How it is possible that no one I know mentioned anything about that during our studies?

I've had a lovely sweet cake after lunch today and I feel so happy and pleased about it! This is why I do not want to open my books and begin studying now :) And these cakes are so tempting....! :)

Struggling

Why do I struggle with my life? Why do I complicate it instead of making it easier? I guess this is just the way I am..

Few days ago I've got a chance to meet The Kindle 4 face to face! And I think this might be exactly what I need! I have begun to read a bit about different kinds of e-Readers and I think I've made up my decision about buying Kindle Touch 3G + WiFi.

And this is one of the reasons why I have always wanted to live my life in the UK! I can work, earn money and save some cash for myself easily so I can buy whatever I feel I want to have. It wouldn't be possible in Poland.. Not if you have to live on your own and when at the same time you want to enjoy your life and save money. If someone hasn't tried to live in other country than Poland, he or she will never understand how it's like and why it feels so great!

People I live with are warm and lovely. I feel like a member of this family and hopefully it will be like that till the end of my contract which is on the 4th of December. Maybe I'll prolong it for few more weeks. Anyway, I feel great here. It's a good way to begin living my own life I think.

Luckily it's raining in the Oxfordshire today, so I'm not going anywhere. I'm glad I do not have to be in Poland right now where they have 32 degrees in the shade today :)

New job

Some time ago I have decided to begin working as a live-in carer after I graduate. Well.. I did not graduated in June, but I have had to begin working anyway, so I hope I'll manage to work and prepare for my last exam which is in August. If not, I'll have to wait a year to graduate.

Anyway, today is my first day of Care Assistant job in Oxfordshire. I've received almost the whole training already and hopefully I'll manage to do my job properly.

I think that this blog might turn out to be a bit boring, cause my days are going to be pretty same - taking care of my patient and then studying for the last exam I have. 8 weeks and then we'll see what will happen.
 Hopefully I'll improve my English as well.

I think that tonight I'll go to bed early and since tomorrow I'll begin my routine.

I wish I haven't passed that exam. I wish I haven't passed IELTS well enough as well. I wish I didn't manage to get to the Foundation Training 2012-2014.
I wish I have fallen in love with a man that cannot be mine.
My life decided to go completely other way than it should have and I still don't know why..
