I opened my diary (an actual physical book, not Outlook) and the silver ribbon is firmly stuck in the week of Wednesday 22nd May. This had been preceded by a fantastic 24 hours in Madrid with another raft of fabulous females, which had come just after the Medical Women's Federation conference in Cambridge where I met loads of lovely people.

Adventures of a Sick Doctor

I write a column in a medical newspaper every couple of months, and that absorbs my writing energy. In fact I was scared, and worried and uncertain, and it manifested in physical symptoms of dyspnoea, tachycardia and headrush. My wonderful GP has died, but I am building a relationship with my new one.

During our post-medical school residency years, we are trained by many different types of doctors including pediatricians, OB/GYNs, surgeons, psychiatrists, neurologists, ENTs and more. I enjoy seeing patients for all kinds of visits as well – mental health, physicals, GYN concerns, coughs/colds, etc.
