I think a sensible start is to say why did i become a med reg. My background is haematology, always loved it and don't see myself doing anything other than that, luckily haemtology doctors in training or non training jobs don't do med-reg on-calls, that was kind of the silver lining that kept me going. The problem is, as i was trying to run away from my first shitty post as SHO (i have a huge blog entry about, that i am still contemplating whether to publish or not, given how negative it is), the only offer i got straight away as i had no intention to wait or look around was medical registrar in acute medicine. I was a bit scared to take that up in the UK given my perceived notion of the massive amount of responsibility attached to that post. I say perceived as a med-reg in my previous trust does a lot more and has way more responsibilities and duties, than where i am now. Also looking at haematology applications, having a background in Emergency medicine or acute Medicine w
