The medical hierarchy as my teams pens.
The F1 pen.
Will last a lifetime if treated well. Can break easily under stress. Enjoys writing words like - Plan: Admit. Always lost.
Will always be by your side and doesn’t ever let you down as unhindered by ink demand.
The SHO pen.
Runs out of steam quite quickly as enjoys writing out the entire renal screen, test by test. The words are wise. Sometimes too wise. There is an innocent maturity. Medical plan up to 15 points. Enjoys the words “guarded prognosis”. Bulk bought. Never lost.
The med SPR pen.
Runs out of ink after one 12 hour shift. Enjoys writing the word “suggest”. The colour is of approachability and whimsy but one should approach with extreme caution. Entire clerking can be written in three words with the same clarity as a ten page collateral.
The consultant.
Can only be refilled with an ink bottle.
The “I’ve made it” pen that doesn’t get that much action. Very high impact factor and unsheathed in the most serious of times. Jobs written with this pen do not get ignored but you need to decipher the hieroglyphics first.
The senior consultant pen.
The change is subtle but discernible.
Whilst it looks exactly the same as the consultant pen, the ink is NOT BLACK BUT BLUE. Only about ten words are ever written by this pen, but each one hits with the weight of a boulder AS THE INK IS BLUE.
