Now that my Nepali elective is over the medical school has sent me out on the last of my placements as a student. When we all start on black Wednesday this year, the junior doctors will have had a couple of days induction telling them where the fire exits are, how they log into the electronic patient records system and how to lift with your knees and not your back. Then the current juniors will move on and we'll be left manning the wards. My medical school thought we should spend the next three weeks on the ward we'll begin working on in August - so here I am, in Edinburgh, complete with brand new tram(s):
During the short tram trip into the city centre I overheard a child asking their mum continual questions along the lines of "what's that?" and "why?". They got onto the topic of transport. "Where do trains go?" asked the child, "well they go to lots of different places, like Glasgow and Aberdeen and London" explained mum. Not yet fully satisfied the child continued "Where do boats go?" and mum obligingly explained they could go to lots more places, all around the world. "Where do trams go?" asked the child finally, "funny you should ask that" said mum, "they only go from the airport to the city centre and back"...
