Laughs from a rural area.

Well my new Drs are all lovely. Really looking forward to working with them. Almost makes up from how sad it is to loose the last ones. One has a dog. We're hoping that her dog and my dog will get on then we can provide doggy day for her whilst she's at work.

Orkney county show today. A marvellous advert for working in rural healthcare

So I'm training my newfoundland to be a therapy dog. It's just occurred to me that if I do a qualitive study to evaluate the impact of therapy dogs then I'll have to get a home office license to use animals in research. I guess we could call it a service evaluation.

Going on holiday next week. Preparing to handover to my locum. My list of things to hand over includes. - Inpatients. - Outpatients. - Medical Students. - House plants (don't forget to water the monstera in the bathroom) - Pets -Garden #solepracticionerblues

5 years as a Consultant, and I still get that feeling of nervous anticipation every time I see my name on the rota. The JRCPTB never did deliver the Orb of Infallibility that should have come with my CCT.

Adventures in incestuous rural medicine: My GPST is the daughter of a local GP. Doing my FLDs I note that discharge letters are excellent when you are writing them to your mum. Your mum that has excellent attention to detail and changes in medication.

I'm mostly on bluesky now. But popping back whilst on hold I get a whole load of tweets with advice for men on how to get a woman. Basically I do the opposite to everything advised and I've been married 20 years. They may think that this makes me a gay simp.

Do you like Puffins ? Lighthouses and very fluffy dogs? Are you a FY2 doctor looking for a clinical fellow job in August?? We can offer lovely views, surfing, great outdoor activities, and a very friendly newfoundland dog. Did I mention the puffins? apply.jobs.scot.nhs.uk/Job/JobDetail?…
