Five days between postings isn't good enough, even if I have very few fans. But I have a secret that can't yet be told - ooh, seven magpies - even if it's total paranoia on my part to think anyone I know might read my blog. Let's just say brum brum. All will become clear very soon.

Meanwhile, back to daily life, I've done two medical interview sessions this week. It's a very small sample size to base any views on, but I can't help feeling that the UKCAT as a primary selector for medical applicants is not necessarily picking out the right people. But two sessions is not enough to make any judgements and in any case, this is no longer my business. It is hard to step back. This time around though, having watched other half go through junior medicine, I no longer feel that a rejection is such a bad thing - it seems to me that I'm simply saving them from a life of misery that none of them can currently comprehend.
