I should not have to walk half a mile to my car, parked nowhere near the hospital site, after a 12.5 hour shift. It doesn’t feel safe.

I have put 2 fitted sheets on my bed so when I’m post op and need to change the sheets I can just take the top one off rather than have to lean and put the sheet back on one legged. I may be a genius.

I have recently found a few surgical registrars being rude to me and I cannot work out if it’s because I’m a problem, I’m a woman or I’m not a consultant. Or maybe a combination of the above. I don’t know. I’m worried it’s me that’s the issue.
