So September has come and gone, and we're well into October. Wortk is hard, and I don't seem to have very much time for anything else.

Sometimes being a doctor is brilliant, and I feel like I'm really making a difference. Most of the time it's ok, I get on with it. Sometimes, it's stressful and time-consuming and I don't enjoy it, but just keep plodding on through.

And then there are the days like yesterday, when I had to lock myself in the toilet after the ward round to cry, after my consultant called me a 'bad doctor' in front of oner of my patients.

That's when I hate it.

why would he do such a thing?

Because he is a miserable bastard, and not because I am a bad doctor. Honest! I am an averagely new doctor, not especially bad, not especially good. I made a management judgement he didn't agree with, which led to the comment. I won't be making that error again though...

That is a pretty crap thing to do, to undermine someones doctor (even a junior member of the team) in front of their patient. Sounds like he has a problem himself. *Hugs*
