Next week I start my 1st ever series of night shifts as a doctor
Anyone got any good tips for surviving them?
Genuinely don’t know what to expect or how to prepare
(Think I’ve seen threads 🧵 about this before but can’t seem to find them, so feel free to link them if you can)

Finished my 1st day working as a doctor
…& I loved it*. This is exactly what I’ve been dreaming. I loved finally getting to do even the most mundane of dr tasks
Leaving the hospital with a spring in my step🥰
*ask me if I still feel this way after I’ve done an on call/night

spring/summery nice weather midweek afternoons playing rounders with your friends… You have to do work instead
Growing up is such a scam fml

Today is exactly 2 years since I was discharged from the psych ward that I was sectioned at
The 1st pic is from the day I was put on a section 3, the 2nd pic is 2 years later (now!)
Can’t believe how far I’ve come… healthy, thriving, soon-to-be doctor. Things can get better.

I’m currently applying to a masters course (part time + distance learning)
Has anyone else managed a part time/distance course during foundation years? & has anyone received postgrad loans for this?
I’m pretty keen to study this course and to start this coming academic year
