You didnt ask for it #MedTwitter but you are going to get it anyway

Starlord as a GP trainee (a thread)

#teamGP @rcgp
@RCGP_InnovAiT

When he first walks in to his GP rotation after years of a few service provision jobs

His first patients is a long standing one and he introduces himself as a registrar

When he is chatting to another trainee from a different speciality who says GP is the "easy option"

He gets called just before lunch to go on a home visit (PPE and all)

He might have gotten lost but looks cool doing it

Also forgets that he has a medical student in with him

He clocks that the patient has an incarnated hernia and that no they can't just stay at home and they have to go to the surgeons

He gets back to she a huge list of patients each one with completely different issues and concerns

Then he realises that that training is kicking in and he actually has the most of the skills and knowledge to deal with most things

Manages to sort out patient queries, pathology, letters, telephone triag and face to face consultations

Deals with issues including:
MSK issues

Exploring mental health

And the serious complaint that the patient only tells him with their hand on the door

When he starts to get a bit overwhelmed he puts on his brave face

He isn't sure what to do

Realises he isn't alone and he had a massive team of differently skilled colleagues to help him out with all problems as well as colleagues in hospital who are always there

Underneath that friendly punching bag GP exterior underneath his is a badass doctor

Whatever his special interest (from paeds to ortho to oncology etc) is he has the freedom to do that whenever, however and wherever he wants

And he realises how much they actually do in #teamGP and now defends it fiercely

Fin?

Oh and a good work life balance
