Not going to lie, I'm a bit worried about heading out tomorrow.

[Bennett Choy | 蔡俊康 @BennettChoy]

Had a meeting with my future ID/MM TPD and ESs. Discussed expectations, opportunities, and networking. Not had such early engagement throughout any of my time in training!

Love walking around Woolwich on a Sunday. Diverse ethnicities in their Sunday best.

Gonna miss living in southeast London when I leave for Cambridge.

It dawned upon me that I'll be an ID/micro SpR in 2 months - so incredibly unreal 🥲

[Bennett Choy | 蔡俊康 @BennettChoy]

Unfortunately seeing a rise in COVID numbers again...

[Bennett Choy | 蔡俊康 @BennettChoy]

I'm going to miss this place and it's craziness.

[Bennett Choy | 蔡俊康 @BennettChoy]

Asking for recommendations of good reading resources for ID/micro trainees?

Been recommended Oxford clinical handbook, Sanford guide and Tutorial topics in Infection so far!

The ideal number of dimsum dishes to order = 2 X number of people + 2.

Always the perfect amount.

A patient whom I was convinced had acute porphyria, did not actually have acute porphyria.

Would have made an interesting diagnosis.

Buzzing to start ID/Micro training. Any recommendations on resources for pre-reading/advice before starting?

[Bennett Choy | 蔡俊康 @BennettChoy]

@ollie_pfeiffer See you there!

[Bennett Choy | 蔡俊康 @BennettChoy]

@ZS_Chaudhry Time has flown by! Thanks Zain - excited to be finally specialising in ID :)

[Bennett Choy | 蔡俊康 @BennettChoy]

@lauren_hookham Thank you so much for your help with the mock interview :)

⚠️ BREAKING:

Mutated strain of mpox with ‘pandemic potential’ found in DRC mining town, according to the Telegraph, citing new research.

[Bennett Choy | 蔡俊康 @BennettChoy]

@HeySamuelHey Completely agree. So much anxiety since ranking release - hate how there's still so much uncertainty in my career even though I'm nearing my 30s. :/

[Bennett Choy | 蔡俊康 @BennettChoy]

@Hermsnz Congrats!!

[Bennett Choy | 蔡俊康 @BennettChoy]

A long stay patient thanked me and wished me the best in my new rotation.
