Point Break
Sorry guys, this isn’t really clinically related as such but rather a reflection on a week that started not so well but finished much better……….At the beginning of the week I was feeling really exhausted and frustrated with myself having had a couple of rather full on days and I was really asking myself what am I doing???? Why am I doing this???? It’s a bit disturbing asking yourself these kind of questions when you’ve invested so much time, effort and $$$ into doing something and you’re nearing the end………but that was how I was feeling (sob sob sob). But the last 2 days were really enjoyable, things flowed nicely with the timing of our physio sessions, our patients were improving and I really felt like I was achieving something which was great. You really need those days to pick you up and help you soldier on. Thanks to the others on my clinic for the lunchtime laughs and camaraderie……..couldn’t get through it without you!!

hi zakari,

I guess whenever such negativitiy comes into our head, we always got to remember why we decided to do it in the first place.

And as you would hvae realised by now, friends and colleagues can help erase some of the negativity.

The road to greatness is not easy, but when u come out of it, learning from your mistakes and experience, you will achieve much more.

Enjoy the last week of ur clinics..

Hi Zak,

I had a moment like that last semester following the completion of my final ax for my cardio placement (was not fun, to say the least). You sit there and ask yourself why am i bothering with all of this, putting in effort working for free, for days like that?. The solution?

Usually some INTELLIGENT words of encouragement from a loved one, a bit of time and doing something fun makes it better. Then you soldier on......

Good luck :-)
