Work Distractions (Part Deux)

Oh boy...this guy's got a lot to say....
And he doesn't hold back, either.


Oops, back to work....

Work Distractions

I think I must be the past master at work distractions, ranging from watching this, to browsing this (some amazing photography), to reading this, to writing this blog, which admittedly doesn't normally take very long. However, having now finished 5 nights in a row in Obstetric on call, I'm back to reading again, and so Prof Hutton's tome drags me back.

Obstetric Nights...

An invaluable resource came to light in my filing cabinet last night, of a collection of previous viva details from previous candidates of both the Primary and the Final FRCA, and even some FFA Part II and Part III vivas. I was trying to read through them, as they include questions and the answers given by candidates, and they give some valuable insight

If anyone is interested in them, drop me a line.

Also, I have decided that I am bored of re-reading Simon Bricker's FRCA Viva books and nothing going in, so I have adopted a new approach (at least temporarily) of reading through Prof Hutton's Book: Anaesthesia. They neatly divide assessment of a patient up into chapters such as "The Patient with an abnormal ECG", "The patient with poor pulmonary function" and "The patient with an acute abdomen". I orignally bought it for the Primary, but didn't read these bits very carefully, so maybe now is the time to get my money's worth from it?
