    I got a new dog.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    I qualify as a GP with MRCGP on the 5th February. I'm taking annual leave from the 1st. Then I'm going to work for a Pharmaceutical Consultancy as a Doctor (Consultant Pharmaceutical Physician - or dogsbody). Results based, no PCT bullshit, job for 3 years and training 1 day a week.

    One day I'm seeing coughs and colds, the next I'm meeting up with a team to discuss strategy to launch a new drug.

    I got a thread about Texas stickied
    I got into college (didn't see that coming)
    I plan on being a medical doctor
    I'm pretty good at betting on football

    As you can see I have humbled myself

    As for the backroom, it's generally gone from know it all adults to know it all punks.

    Xiahou, Don, Gawain, Pindar, Adrian, Goofball, and many others have gone.

    It makes me sad because now instead of comic relief people expect me to be an example to younger posters

    I'm no good at that.
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    I think you're doing just fine.

    and no, I haven't changed, I still tend to agree with both sides of most arguments.

    Backroom latest - it's pretty boring now. Losing Bush took some of the air out of the discussion. Tribesman left, so we no longer have someone who will call BS on just about everyone. Quality of discussion has diminished, but that could just be because there's not much to discuss.
