Day fifty-one - Tuesday

A&E in the morning again, selection of cases including some paediatric stuff, foot and elbow injuries requiring xrays etc. Was interesting talking them through with the ED staff, working through the management plans. Mac cheese lunch with the Aberdeen lot again before heading over to teaching by an anaesthetist on pain management. Very important topic but unfortunately the room was soporifically warm, in combination with a calming voice and slow turnover of powerpoint slides = eyelids were drooping around the room! I'd just had a coffee so was fine :)

In the downtime, casually smash out my top score on Boom Town! So addictive...

Back in the ED afterwards, did a cannula and some bloods. Fairly slow day, but quite nice variety of things. Headed back to the flat in early evening and rustled up a rissoto style rice/sausage/veg/cheesy concoction = lovely! Nipped to shops to stock up on booze and watched Side Effects with Aberdeen people in No.13, really intriguing film, about a psychiatrist (Jude Law) who puts a patient on a drug and strange things begin to happen - constantly rethinking who is actually the crazy one! Looked through their pics from Uist, looked like a great little weekend away. Shame that I won't get down there now but maybe I'll come back on another trip one day!
