Fleabag as a medical student: a thread.

Energetically arrives for handover but the consultant is not best pleased about her tardiness.

Makes a joke about it being ‘quiet’ in the department.

Consultant says it’ll be a snappy round as she has a meeting to get to.

The consultant is impressed by her biochemistry knowledge when she has, in fact, covertly googled the question on her university-sponsored iPad.

The ward SHO being patronising as f**k, forgetting it was literally only 2 years ago that they were in her shoes.

First attempt at a cannula.

A communication skills session isn’t going very well and she feels the simulated patient is being a tad dramatic.

Sniffing the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine hoping to absorb it in its entirety.

When the clinic she was due to attend is actually held at another site.

Witnessing a standoff between medics and surgeons about pancreatitis.

Says she has to leave the ward round for a ‘portfolio meeting’ (which just so happens to coincide with the free lunch on offer in postgrad).

One of the ward doctors explaining an abdo x-ray and has used the term ‘loaded colon’ which she finds deeply amusing.

Getting a restful nights sleep pre-OSCE.

Recursively button-bashing PasTest MCQs during a comfort break.

A work experience student says he has heard that Wikipedia is banned at medical school.

Comm skills session goes from bad to worse when the simulated patient, who was once an extra on Hollyoaks, starts cracking out her best acting skills.

When someone asks her if it’s true she hasn’t ranked the London deaneries top for FPAS.

Practising situational judgement questions and apparently the answer wasn’t ‘Invite your drunk-at-work colleague out for a good old knees-up.’

When she’s finished her exam and wants to get away before everyone starts talking about their answers.

Graduation!
