MMC rants & no such thing as perfect spouse

Just come back from North West deanery interview.I think it went well, I hope I did well.I loved the clinical scenario station and did enjoy the ethics session. I wonder how many post will really be available to all the candidates they called for a second round? North West is one of the most competitive deanery for medical training; hmm.., I think its better if I stop myself from thinking too much now.

I am watching one of my fav authors of all time - Penny Vincenzi on telly discussing babies and perfect wife. What do I think about it?

- Whoever think there is a perfect wife or mother is having delusion big time.

- I do think traditional house setting, husband as breadwinner & wife as housewife is one of the best setting for raising a child. However, current lifestyle doesn't permit that; unless of course your husband is a millionaire.

- I am underweight and working on a crazy shifts pattern (changes every single week and night shifts). I am still the same weight as I was when I did my A-Level.The thing is when I am exhausted I lost all my bloody appetite. I barely have energy to push the 20 ml syringe with buscopan or IV antibiotics. Me as a mum? I would love to be. Having said that, I definitely do not enjoy seeing kids at A&E minor. Paeds is specialty I feel ok, but couldn't do it for life. I don't like to restrain kids when I examine them (I feel bad doing it); so I always get the play specialist to play with kids while I examine them.

- Most female docs with kids are disciplinarian. Is it yes, or is it no answer. No grey areas.
