@matthew_sctt @Louisdebernard I used to hate it when they told us this at med school. Aside from being totally unnecessary it’s also totally untrue. There’s vastly more intelligent people out there than medics, and you don’t need to be “smart” to do medicine.

@pepemac27 My « welcome » back to hospital in May was the person in the ID office actually shouting at me for knocking on their door at 10am, after being told by HR to go there at 10am to pick up my ID card. It was utterly disheartening & made me question my choice about returning.
