I wrote recently about an elderly lady who I'd been to see, I suspected some sinister pathology and the GP referred her under the 2-week rule for urgent investigations. I followed her up today and was pleased to see that her tests had come back. Other than a bit of oesophagitis the tests were negative, oesophagitis doesn't really explain her symptoms but its a much better diagnosis than what it might have been. I was really pleased that she is ok.
It was my last day at my GP today and I'm sad to be leaving. I've learnt a lot. It was a great placement with a great GP. Much much much better than the previous placement which was nothing short of a disaster. Now I have to pick an 8 week community placement for my 5th and final year, unfortunately none of the good GPs I've been to seem to be offering placements. Tits.

I'm glad the lady turned out alright. That was a real Sherlock Holmes one, the way you describe it - elderly peopla can have just about anything, can't they...
In fact, everyone can have just about everything, now that I think about it.
Oh bugger me. I just woke up, so I'm doing a 'missbliss' and mumbling incoherently. Glad you're getting off the Vagina Squad in a couple days.
Good work on following up! It's nice to have continuity of care sometimes...
