Goodness....it’s great to be all enthusiastic and such with your chosen speciality especially when you’re the single expert in rural medicine in the entire Scotland. But honestly Prof...making us poor medical students already experiencing the complexities of being sent to a hospital in the periphery first hand, an hour long tutorial on TUESDAY afternoonS from 4-5pm is just too grating.
Multicoloured graph after multicoloured graph quoting figures of times for accessibility to healthcare services is really not accessible to our tired and overworked minds. I suppose some bits of it are interesting especially things like choice of destination for airlifting being determined by the amount of fuel in the air rescue helicopters.
Ah well...the long and short of it was that miraculously halfway through a particularly longwinded discussion of YET ANOTHER coloured graph I happened to get some grit flying into my eye as I was shifting around in my chair trying to get comfortable. So I asked to be excused and our dear prof just had to quip ‘ Are you alright? You know where A&E is right?’
No prof, all I need is the toilet, clean running water, and some paracetamol for my headache. And whilst I’m at it perhaps a perforated ear drum will make me blissfully deaf to another explanation of a self explanatory graph.
