On Being Rather Bored In A Rotation
I have been back for close to 4 weeks now - oh how quickly time has passed!
I am at a community hospital, too far away from home, much further from my GP’s. In these minutes, as I wait for my consultant to return from what I gather is an important meeting, as the air-con above me whirls in a soothing drone, as it dries the perspiration from the (unnecessary) mask wearing I have to endure in addition to the intense humidity, I wait. As that defines my position as a medical student: the wait.
I have things to say, but that moment shall have to - quite teasingly - wait.
