Today I realised.
Being a medical student and a junior doctor can be worlds apart.
I'm not sure if I should be disgusted or bemused that I can stick my finger up any bum without the slightest hint of apprehension anymore.
And being able to tell a patient I'm going to do that with a totally straight face, like I stick my finger up bums everyday.
Wait, that's not right.
That said, I should probably be proud that my finely honed skill of finger-prodding correctly diagnosed an upper gastrointestinal bleed today.
Oh she was an absolutely lovely wee ol' lady as well!
