This was my final London bookclub read. I am extremely sad to have said goodbye to all the wonderful ladies that I have spent the last year getting to know. We had amazing evenings, filled with intelligent chatter, tipsy gossip and yummy food. The best part of the night would be when we would all discuss the last month of our lives. Each person would chat a bit and then everyone would turn to

There is nothing worse than seeing someone who has been physically assaulted, unless they have been assaulted and they are pregnant. Today I met a patient who is 17, hasn't finished school and is pregnant. She had been abused by her boyfriend, who punched her in the face, leaving her with a blue eye. He had also kicked her in the stomach and now her 30 week fetus was suffering the consequences.

I received one of those lovely little slips from the Post Office recently, which meant I had something exciting to collect. I had an inkling that it might be the giveaway that I won on Jacci's blog. I collected my parcel and when I was about to open it, I read a note stuck on the front. It was addressed to the local Anglican Church and not Little Miss Medic. It was also an invoice for communion

She was recently diagnosed with her third malignant melanoma and luckily after surgical removal of the mole and some lymph nodes, she is on the mend. Her blog is based on all the things she has learnt recently and more about superfoods in preventing cancer. I will do an update on what new thing she has discovered

She leads a run of the mill existence for her age and has aspirations to go to Oxford University, until she meets David. David, played by Peter Sarsgaard, seems cultured and open-minded and Jenny is swept off her feet as he introduces her to shows, pubs and weekends away in Paris. She is

Tree of Life, starring Brad Pitt and Sean Penn, has been tipped to be one of this year's Oscar Nominations. I love watching Oscar movies, but this one was not only a terrible disappointment, it was also very strange. The film is directed by Terrence Malik, who also directed Days of Heaven and The Thin Red Line. The story takes place in Texas in the 1950s, with Brad Pitt starring as the

Basically a dumping ground for anyone slightly complicated who needs a work up with a few drunk fuckers thrown in for good measure. I was seeing a gentleman (euphemistic to the highest degree), who was in his 60s and had been found drunk on

I recently watched this film on DVD. Directed by Rodrigo Cortes, Buried, is a story of a single man, Paul Conroy, who is buried underground in a coffin.

In October it was my turn to choose a book for us to read at bookclub. I decided on Pigeon English by Stephen Kelman.

Having just come off doing the last 2 nights, I have had the pleasure of seeing more drunk fuckers and a few of our regular patients! One of my very favourite patients is Little Miss Pin Cushion, who comes in on a frequent basis swallowing needles. Before needles, she used to throw herself off buildings, but way before my time she had an even more shocking/exciting trick up her sleeve. After

This last weekend, I was unlucky enough to work all 3 nights. Since it is the beginning of the silly season, there were a lot of drunk fuckers.

Today is Nikolaus Day, a traditional celebration in Germany on the 6th of December. Nikolaus is not Father Christmas, that is the Weihnachtsmann, he is Nicholas Of Myra, who died in 346. He was a Greek Christian Bishop, who was known for secretly giving gifts and performing miracles. Traditionally children leave their polished boots outside on the 5th of December and Nikolaus would come on a

I usually HATE Christmas! I don't know what it is about it that I hate... Actually I do... 1. They play Christmas music in the shops in October 2. Trying to buy presents on the 24th of December is a task I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy 3. My extended family live in Germany and so Christmas has never been a big "do" as it was always just me and my parents...no strange and quirky relatives

As a small project I decided that I wanted to read the 6 books shortlisted for The Man Booker Prize 2011. I already know who has won, but I am going to keep going regardless and then decide which one I liked best. First on the list was Jamrach's Menagerie by Carol Birch. It is her 11th novel and is a mixture of Robinson Crusoe, Life of Pi and Oliver Twist all rolled into one. The main

Seeing a patient who's first language is not English can be quite an ordeal. I once saw a Polish man, who was so drunk that he couldn't not say anything except make a incomprehensible moaning sound. I am sure, had he spoken English, we would have been in the same predicament. At 3am in the morning, there is no chance of getting a translator, and since I could not rule out a possible head injury,

Syringing some one's ears has got to be one of those tedious tasks that no-one enjoys. This job is usually done by your GP or an ENT specialist. Sometimes people come into the A+E to have their ears syringed, which is highly irritating as it can sometimes take up to 30 minutes to properly dislodge the wax or whatever else is in their ear. The only time it is vaguely exciting, is if someone has

For those of you who follow my blog, you will know that my suitcase went missing in Greece. 8 days later and I went to go fetch it from Heathrow Airport. I am so thrilled to have all my stuff back. It is like rediscovering how cool are your clothes and toiletries are and appreciating them fully. I think I will wear all my jewellery at once and NEVER take it off... Happy Friday!!!

After my harrowing experience of eventally getting home from Greece sans luggage, I arrived at work the next day hoping for a relaxed day, so that I could ease myself back into work. NO SUCH LUCK! My first patient was slightly psychotic and decided to throw her mobile at me (being assaulted on the first day back is never a good omen of things to come). Luckily I managed to duck the approaching

Karma is a bitch! I must admit I have been very lucky this year, with all the trips I have done. I do work very hard when I am not off, often working over 2 weeks straight, day and night. Karma must not have noticed this, because she decided to bite me in a big way on my final trip of the Summer, in Greece. Greece was amazing. Here is a quick low down!

This was The Bookclub's choice for August. I had been wanting to read this for a while now, especially since it was on the BBC's Big Read Top 100 book list. The book was first published in 1959 and I think the fame, or rather notoriety, of the book, lies more in the topic than in the actual written word. Humbert Humbert is the main character and he becomes obsessed with Dolores (Lolita), a 12

I have always wanted a tattoo. For years now I have been putting it off! I haven't found anything meaningful enough to permanently ink on my skin. The area to tattoo also poses a great question. I have always thought the wrist would be awesome, but not too sure I'd like that after 10 years... 2 years ago, The Boyf and I went on holiday to Thailand.

I have been having a lot of conversations about different ways to give birth lately. As Obstetrics is my passion, although not a specialist (yet!), people tend to ask me which I think is the preferred method of delivery. The obvious discussions of a surgical scar vs possible vaginal tearing, stay in hospital and which is best for baby, usually ensue. In England, one cannot have an elective

"Room" is Emma Donoghue's seventh novel and was long listed for the Man Booker Prize in 2010. Ever since buying this book, I knew it would be a story like no other and indeed, it was. More than half of the novel is set in Room, not a room, but Room, where Jack shares this tiny existence with his Mother. Jack was born in Room, five years ago, after his Mother was abducted and they have been

I have become one of those people that discuss the weather continuously! I know it is shocking. Never did I think that I would become lumped in the category of aged folk that talk about the weather in the elevator.

This week I watched Love & Other Drugs. I have been looking forward to seeing this film for ages, especially because it seemed to be a bit more than the usual Hollywood Rom-Com. Starring Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal as the leading roles and directed by Edward Zick, this film is based on the non-fiction book Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman by Jamie Ready. It is set in 1996,

For the last week this has been the book that I have kep in my handbag and read on the tube. It has chapters that are only 3 pages long and each chapter tells an amusing story about a different patient or experience. The book is written by a GP, who also does a few A+E shifts. It is light-hearted and delightfully funny. I found the stories highly entertaining as I have often had similar
