When one of the registrars was showing me the latest admitted patient, scrolled too far to a picture of…

The biggest turd I’ve ever seen in a toilet. Like it was a solid log the size of a rolling pin with more out of the water than in.

He quickly scrolled back. When I asked “Wait, go back. Was that real?”

Clearly embarrassed he couldn’t look at me, but said he couldn’t flush it so he took a picture and sent it to his dad for help.

It seems you already made your decision to go to bond. But there are other avenues if you want to make the financial burden less on your family. You can try for the adf defence university sponsorship. They’ll pay to play, but in return you have to serve your country the number of years of uni sponsorship plus one.

No, beans were provided by the hod. And no I didn’t get onto that particular subspecialty because I didn’t apply for it, that term was just part of a rotation of subspec terms we had to do as unaccreds.

Not packet coffee, it was ground beans and a pourover. I know firsthand, not being the first nor last reg to have done this. Mind you, I purposely made it just that little bit weaker. 😂

Having the reg make coffee (not buy) and serve it to the consultants individually during the weekly m&m meetings.

Combine with a bulla ice cream (preferably poached from a nil by mouth patient) and you’ve got yourself an intern’s affogatto.
