Today is the last day for most junior docs in their present 4 month post. Tomorrow I start a new job, in a new hospital, and unfortunately have to wake up at a new/earlier time.
Traditionally and unofficially, the last day of the job is when us docs give the staff and secretaries a gift, usually chocolates, to say thanks for supporting, helping, whingeing, not reporting us to the GMC etc. I’ve just bought a box of Celebrations which will be demolished by the ward staff in approximately 2 hours- and they all say they’re on a diet. yeah right! not when it comes to chocolate or doing exercise.
The last day also means everyone is a bit apathetic and can’t be arsed to really see everyone because we’re not around the next day.
I just have to remember to leave a patient list, give my bleep back, tell security to cancel my car park permit, have farewell (soft) drinks at the local and amble off home.
