I'm doing good.
I've got some new psychiatric diagnoses here and medication and even psychotherapy and psychotherapeutic group and it's never been clearer and calmer in my head than now. what a proper diagnosis and medication do!
I've ended my first GE/Endo rotation and this week starts my second GE/Endo rotation so basically nothing changes for me besides that the one more person comes to my rotation and it is a senior resident so life gets more easy and I can finally open some books and learn deeply and not only freestyle rage diagnostics and 5 hours a day in grossing room.
but firstly I'm taking my first vacation from Thursday this week for two weeks. I'll fly to Vienna for one week to finally send my stuff here and move properly. Winter comes and all my clothes and warm blankets and everything is still there. Afterwards my plan is just to stay home one more week and to do nothing. Ofc I'll play videogames and hopefully also paint/draw. This year no inktober for me.
BUT I'm on call this weekend. Tomorrow is also a national holiday and I'm still on call. Yesterday I spent some time grossing and dictating leftover stuff from the week.
It's my second on call weekend. In my first, a couple weeks ago I did some grossing on Saturday (it's usually so, we just call surgery on Saturday in the morning so they send everything from the fridge to our fridge) and then there was a frozen section on Sunday. Some residents never got it in their on call weekends but I guess I'm just lucky :)
It was an incidental finding in salivary gland of one brain d3ad patient and they wanted to explant everything possible, you can't do if there a malignancy. So we got to check if it was malign or not. It wasn't. So approx. 4-5 lives were saved and someone got the best present ever possible.
This post is dedicated to @beach-log , thank you for not forgetting about me
I think all the time that I should write here more or even post some histology or whatever weird stuff I experience/find at work but I'm still learning to do something extra besides 10+ work hours a day.
Pathology is love
Pathology is life

Had a Sunday off after ages.
Was little productive. Set the new house up yesterday. Had a lazy morning and woke up late and made a lazy breakfast. Spent some time studying muscular dystrophies. Then took a nap again, lol. Went out to have a frap and came back home to go sleep now.
Spent the entire day mostly sleeping, and I realised how much I was deprived of sleep. Last few months took a toll on my health. Though I was functioning pretty well, everyday I came home feeling exhausted and would wake up feeling no better. So I decided to shift my focus a little on my mental and physical health in the upcoming days, meanwhile catching up on my studies too. Also to be more consistent with the posts.

Drawing away, blissfully sketching, like I do not have a Pathology test this coming Wednesday 😶‍🌫️
I pretend I do not see it. I sincerely hope that the sheer amount of cup noodles and 45 minute study sessions will pay off :')

So, I am back at uni.
For those who don't know me - which is tbh most of you all. I am a French Asian girl who decided in 2020 to pursue her studies in the UK.
I am currently in my second year of medical school (repeated the year last year lol) and I am currently having a mental breakdown.
So. Uni is not always what it looks like in movies. I had for a long time thought everything would get better as soon as I left the benches of my previous highschool. Because those 3 years of my life, were without the shadow of a doubt, a hell on Earth. I spiralled down for the first time in 2019.
But covid happened, and in a weird way, it saved my life. I got into my 1st choice University, to study something I had kind of dreamed of since I was a kid which made my family proud of me for the first time in my life. I was going to leave behind all the people that had hurt me, leave the house and start a new life in the country of my dreams.
Life was good. I had hopes, but I wasn't feeling the excitement I should have felt when all the stars and planets finally align. Anyway, I left.
2 years have passed.
And I am back into that spiral of my own.
The UK was not what I thought it was. I quickly realised that I was dreaming of London, not the UK. I wanted the city but I am now stuck in the British countryside that is Exeter. All white, British and boring.
The dream of becoming a doctor quickly turned into a nightmare of my own when I realised that this was not what I wanted to do of my life.
And that big fresh start I had been dreaming of for 3 years, turned out to be a hole that I created myself by deciding to isolate myself from others.
So yeah. Now, I just feel stuck.
I wanted freedom, and ended up with financial debt, loneliness, and embarked in the long journey that is medical training just to be stuck in another life that I do not want.
I do not know what is the message that I am trying to send here. Maybe that, if uni is not the experience you thought it would be, that is okay. There is at least two of us here.
I am not going to lie, I do not have any inspiring words to end this on. All kind of hope, dream and excitement seemed to have been aspired out of my body. I do not have much to offer, except maybe the feeling that you are not alone whoever you are.
FOMO is a real thing. Social anxiety as well.
And most of all, the fear of the unknown.
Your twenties do not have to be the happiest years of your life, and I feel like they were never meant to. They are hard as hell. We are just kids. Kids that need to figure out how to handle both the one life experience and the weight of responsabilities.
So to whoever needs to hear this:
Life is hard, but maybe it is worth going through it, cause you will never have it again.

screaming (mentally) and crying (physically) instead of sleeping

Could you write a scene with a usually stoic, medic whumpee guiding a younger caretaker, who is not used to seeing the medic whumpee in pain/vulnerable, through resetting the medic whumpee's dislocated shoulder? And the medic whumpee either passes out from pain during the reset or just generally screams, terrifying medic whumpee
Okay first off, THANK YOU! My first request, forever special in my heart.
Sorry it took a couple days, I had work and some other things to attend to outside of the ‘blr, so thank you for your patience! I hope it’s worth the wait :)
"Man, you gotta drop his ass! You can't keep letting that hipster-mustache, asshat, joke-of-a-boyfriend break your heart, Whumpee!"
"I know, I know..." Whumpee admitted, bending down to to grab another crate to carry to the medic facility on base. There had to be at least a hundred, fifty pound crates laying in the desert sun waiting to be inventoried, but for some god-forsaken reason, the Commanding Officer only assigned Whumpee and Ricky to the task. Probably payback for the uh... misconduct... they got into last week. But hey, what the hell were they supposed to do? They couldn't just pass up an opportunity to get under the CO's skin.
Whumpee grunted, heaving the next crate up to his hip. "Hey what about your girl, Ricky? What was her name again? Kath.. No. Kelly! Oh that's fuckin right, Kelly!"
"Bro, we talked about this. She's in Europe finding herself or some shit." Ricky huffed.
"Yeah, finding herself a dick with an accent." Whumpee teased, playfully smacking Ricky on the shoulder with his free hand as they made their way back to the med building.
Ricky had been in-country for so long the soles of his combat boots were damn near worn through. There was no way his girl was still with him. Whumpee had served his time in this hellhole a close second to Ricky, and the two were just about the best medics in Afghanistan, second only to the CO. Although most would argue that the commanding officer didn’t have nearly the balls on him as Ricky or Whumpee - those two were batshit.
Whumpee pressed his back into the clinic door, pushing it open. He grinned and nodded to the receptionist, leading Ricky towards the back of the clinic. It was a ghost town with the rest of the crew off training. The smell of alcohol and saline filled Whumpee’s nose, sterile and yet so familiar. This was his wheelhouse. He know this place inside and out.
“Ya know, Kelly was a damn bombshell.” Whumpee mused.
“Man, shut the hell up, she’s still my girl. And at least she didn’t cheat on me in my own house.” Ricky dug an elbow into Whumpee’s side, smirking.
Whumpee rolled his eyes and lazily stacked his millionth crate in the supply room.
“Hey, how long do you thing the crew’s gonna be out?” Whumpee asked, changing the subject from the sore spot that was his boyfriend back in the states.
“Long enough to get a good long break from your sorry a-“
One minute the clinic was empty and quiet, and the next, dust and glass were flying through the windows, ushered by a rush of hot air and a head-splitting boom.
Whumpee heard a ringing in his ears as his eyelids fluttered open, squinting painfully at the light streaming in from the hole blasted into the roof of the clinic. The entire west side of the building was collapsed, sending a cloud of dust and debris showering the rest of the building left standing. He saw someone outside the building sprinting towards the scene looking equally concerned and terrified.
“Hey! Hey! Does anyone need help?! Call Out!” The stranger hollered, nearing the blast zone.
Whumpee finally got his bearings and groaned as he lifted his head off the floor, rolling onto his side. As soon as the weight shifted onto his shoulder his vision went white, pain exploding from his arm, shooting like hot lighting down his arm and deep into his chest.
“FAaaa-!” Whumpee screamed, he felt as though his right arm had been torn from his body by a branding iron. Tears welled in the corners of his eyes, and he rolled onto his back, pressing the back of his head into the tile. He heaved, trying to control his breath, but the pain choked his lungs.
“Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. Are you okay? Please, oh my god, please be okay.” The stranger had found their way to Whumpee, and was kneeling over their writhing body, hands trembling, with not the slightest clue what to do next.
Whumpee stifled another yell of pain, and asked through gritted teeth, “Wh-, Who the fuck... are you?” He panted through his words, shooting a glare at the squeamish child hovering above him, a kid without the slightest clue of combat medicine.
“Uhm...” the kid muttered, still out of his element in the chaos, “M-my name is Caretaker... I just got here two days ago and I haven’t ever done anything like this before and really I hadn’t even been assigned a bu-“
“Kid.” Whumpee cut off, “Put your panties together. This is War. You’re gonna see some shit, now pull yourself together.” The pain in his shoulder was beginning to ease, so long as he didn’t move an inch. He knew it was dislocated, possibly also torn, and definitely had involvement in the surrounding muscles, but he needed it reset if he was going to find Ricky in the rubble.
Caretaker nodded and took a deep breath, “ok ok ok, sorry.” Another deep breath.
“Okay. Good. Now, I need you to reduce my shoulder.” Whumpee explained, staring Caretaker in the eyes to see if he would even have the nerve to try.
“No. No way. I’ve never done that before, what if I hurt you?”
“Kid, you can’t make this worse. This is as bad as it’s gonna get without getting blown off. Are you gonna accidentally blow my arm off?”
Caretaker shook his head, eyes wide.
“Good. Now, I’m gonna tell you what to do.”
Caretaker steeled himself.
“Okay, I need you to help me sit up, and please, for the love of God, don’t touch the shoulder.” Whumpee pleaded, watching Caretaker nod once again in response, and he wrapped their arms around his torso, helping Whumpee gently into a sitting position. The pain of moving was once again disorienting, but Whumpee swallowed down the nausea, breathing heavily through his nose. He braced himself for the next step.
“Perfect. Great job. Now, you see my shoulder, how it doesn’t look quite right?”
“Yeah, I see it.”
“I need you to pop that protruding bit back into the socket. It’s gonna suck for me, but you have to shove it hard.”
Caretaker cut his eyes to meet Whumpee’s, as if to ask, “are you sure?”
“Ok, place that hand...” Whumpee pointed with his good hand, “...here up near my neck, and grab firmly around the deltoi- my upper arm, with your other hand.” Whumpee grunted at the weight of caretakers hands now encompassing his bad arm. “Now-“ he groaned, “hold me still and shove that son-of-a-bitch back in.”
Whumpee panted, waiting. “Now!”
Whumpee’s pupils went to pinpoints as the white hot pain returned, threatening total darkness. Electricity tingled in his fingertips as he screamed.
“Oh god! OHMYGOD! Did I kill you? Oh please be okay! Please be okay!”
Whumpee’s chest shuttered with his heaving breaths as he clung to consciousness, blackness crept into the edges of his vision. “I’m okay.” He breathed, “I’m okay, you did it.”

today marks precisely 5 months since i've moved to the Netherlands.
I still feel insecure a lot about language and about my soft skills.
But residency starts being fun and i'm enjoying it a lot.

January 28, 2024 - "Clear skies"
Dear Tommy,
I guess it's been a while. It's also been a while since I took these photos. A few weeks ago my friends and I went somewhere out of town. We didn't really planned that day and just went somewhere our car will take us, we happen to find ourselves in a camping site/restaurant and since we're unprepared we didn't even have a picnic mat after that we went to a famous cafe in that same town, The view there is also stunning, but the campsite gives a more relaxing vibe. We'll just have to make sure that next time, we bring things that we need.
Yours truly,
Andy
