Oh Sarah dear, I would never say that you were "big gobbed", just someone who was genuinely interested. Any normal (ie. less weird) person would have appreciated it fully! I'm just a bit superstitous about thinking about exam results until I know for certain.

Yes, I do want to be a GP. I also have a huge interest in palliative care, and hope to transition into that at some point later in my life. Both disciplines suit my personality, and my shortcomings due to the AS beast nicely I think. The GPs in this country signed a new contract in 2004 where they were relieved of the obligation of after hours (ie evening call and weekend surgeries) work. Yay! With having AS, as you likely well know, it's really important to strike a balance with all the elements in your life, and no weekends and evenings means I'll kinda have a schedule like a normal person . Still have post-grad training to get through, which will abuse my body horribly, but good to know that the end is in sight.

Hugs again,
Jeanna
