I'm a transhumanist doctor. In a better world, I wouldn't need to add that as a qualifier to plain old "doctor". It would be taken as granted for someone in the profession of saving lives.
At any rate, I intend to live forever or die trying. See you at Heat Death!

I was happier not remembering that textual exchange, let alone the sexual exchange within it. The ass-hair has grown back, but I still felt like an ass for shaving it and then getting stood up at the aisle.

Sir. You are getting slow in your old age, that was a joke :(
I'm not sure if the workload I'm experiencing is typical, but it's almost always safe to bet that the NHS is understaffed and overworked. I'd say this counts as hectic but not unbearable, the primary annoyance is running around a very large hospital, and I get very lost half the time.
(It is very rare for anyone outside of psych to understand how capacity works. I barely understood the UK version until several months within psych, I was winging it till then.)

Goddammit, I wanted to talk about cute but intimidatingly competent colleagues complimenting me. It's liaison psychiatry.
Busy......Emergency?
Oh there's no rush. Get well soon.

@Throwaway05 is correct. New rotation, after a mercifully long vacation extended somewhat involuntarily by geopolitical strife. I've been enjoying it so far, for a value of enjoyment which encompasses and excuses being incredibly stressed. At least my colleagues seem nice: a cute Dutch doctor said I have a great voice. She suggested I should be a voice actor, a compliment I have carefully filed away for later. And here I was thinking that I only had the face for radio...
We have the same meme here too, but to be fair, I've only been here for 2.5 days, and it would be unfair of me to opine too hard.
Still, I'm tempted to purchase a cardboard sign that says "CAPACITY IS NOT ALL-OR-NOTHING. IT IS ASSUMED TO BE PRESENT BY DEFAULT, BUT IS EVALUATED ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS AND CAN VARY DEPENDING ON CONTEXT. IF YOU BLEEP ME BECAUSE YOUR PATIENT SAYS THEY'RE FEELING SAD AFTER A CANCER DIAGNOSIS WAS JUST DISCLOSED TO THEM, I MIGHT SHOW UP, BUT I WILL BE MUTTERING ANGRILY UNDER MY BREATH."
