It’s me, again

Hello!

So I last wrote in March, post vacation, feeling a little lost but I’m still here.

I’ve now been at the cardiac clinic for 3 months! Time is flying. I think being here may be a good decision as I’m learning so much about ECGs, stress tests and general cardiology. I work under my advanced scope so give bisoprolol for AF etc when I need to. Having normal hours has been a wild adjustment but I absolutely don’t miss night shifts !!!

I moved house to save money and coincidently the girl who moved in to my room is from Scotland. We get on like a house on fire and have decided as much as we’ve both enjoyed it here (she arrived the same month), we’re gonna move in together in London come next year.

I didn’t leave London in search of a new fun life, I just wanted to experience it while I can. The thought of going back with all the things I’ve learnt, back to the town I love, fills me with joy. i can’t to be back close to my family and friends again. Canada has so much to offer but in terms of advancement in the pre hospital setting, it doesn’t offer me what I’m looking for. I miss my annual leave allowance, cheap flights to Europe and autonomy as a practitioner.

BUT that all being said, I can’t wait to spend a full summer here and enjoy all the hiking, outdoors and sunshine in Canada.

I’ve got a few trips coming up and look forward to enjoying them.

Catch you all soon

Em
