Sunday notes: what training is quietly teaching me

Sundays are when I sit with what the week actually did to me.

 

This week's lesson: fatigue is not a badge. I used to wear tiredness like proof of seriousness. It isn't. A rested anaesthetist checks the machine twice; a tired one trusts the first check.

 

Second thing: asking the obvious question has served me better than any clever manoeuvre. Confirming which side, which dose, which plan is not slowness. It is the job.

 

Third: progress in this specialty is quiet. Nobody applauds between cases. You only notice it when something that used to shake you feels routine.

 

Happy Sunday to everyone here. What is one thing your work taught you this week?

 

General education, not medical advice.
