In the final week being a final year medical student you have learnt everything you’re going to learn at medical school. You’re writing scripts, that the House Officer signs. You’re creating discharge summaries, that the House Officer approves. You’re assessing patients and creating plans, that the Registrar reviews.
Essentially, you’re playing doctors.
One week later, as a House Officer, you don’t know anything else, but now, you’re writing scripts, you’re discharging patients, you’re assessing patients and creating plans.
Now, you’re a real doctor.
In life, until the responsibility sits with you, you’re playing.
Perhaps, knowing that, it’s time to embrace responsibility.
If you keep saying ‘the bad guy won’ and judging everyone who supports them as an idiot, then you are playing right into the ‘good vs evil’ fallacy.
At the South Island Show Jumping Champs late last year, my daughters won the classes they were entered in.
A while ago we were at a horse show. Zara and I walked the course, and I read the jump off and told Zara what it was.
