And life has a funny way...

of helping you out when you think everything's gone wrong.

Speak to me two days ago about life and the future, and I'd of said that I had no future job, that things are looking grim for doctors in Britain, and everything sucks.
Just 2 days ago, I was sprawled on the sofa playing XBOX Psychonauts (really good game! ps2 and pc so no excuse not to play it), when my house mate came running down saying "MRCP 2 RESULTS OUT! I'VE PASSED! GO CHECK!!!" oh no!! So I checked, and sure enough there was my code number, and I had passed!! (got the confirmation letter today, got 64%, passmark was 59%). I had passed the damn exam from the first attempt, a miracle :)

Then, just yesterday was my interview for a job in Colchester (Oncology SHO, ie cancer), and there was one post and 3 candidates (one of which was the same house mate). I managed to do well in that interview too and was offered the post!!

So, within 24 hours I got an exam and a job! Life can sometimes really turn around quickly, and as Alanis sang, it sure has a funny way of helping you out when you think it's all beyond repair!

Next stop, the FINAL damn exam of MRCP, otherwise known as the PACES (practical assessment of clinical examination skills), July '06. Wish me luck :)
