So the revision is working then!

Don't try it too often or you might get thought of as a smart alec.
Have missed your posts!
Hope revision has gone well. Can i ask, are the working time regs having much affect in your area? I keep hearing that it's being ignored. I qualify in two years and think we are supposed to be working 48hr weeks by then.
Hi
Just wanted to say I really enjoy reading your blog! I'm a year 13 prospective medicine student and I always seem to be hearing about how hard and stressful life as a (junior) doctor is, which I'm sure is true, but I like your blog because there are lots of positive things too :)
Good luck in those exams of yours!
