yo ho ho.

today i pretend to be a GP. goddamn bloody video assessment of gp posting.
it's bad enough to pretend to be a doctor, i have to pretend to care for patients who are pretending to be sick in a pretend clinic.

empathy is assessed by saying the empathy line™ "it must be terrible for you" without chuckling to yourself or having a smirk on your face. i don't see why we must be assessed for our empathy anyway. if you turn out to be an ass you just have to deal with people hating you. no reason to fail med school for not being able to say a convincing empathy line™ . that aside, i'm pretty sure i'll fail for not knowing how to treat sinusitis, or telling a patient to go home and take some panadol when he has MI. oh well, nothing like killing someone to teach you what to do.

ok back to bed.

i hope my pretend patient in my pretend clinic isn't too pretend sick.
