As it was my first day, I spent much of my time getting to know the hospital and my mentor, Brian. I was in the radiology department, portering patients to and from the bed park. The staff were very welcoming, and helped me to get to grips with the job very quickly. As Brian gave me the task of giving the paperwork to the appropriate office (X-ray or CT scanning), I began to understand the different notations on the sheets. This will help me as a student and then as a doctor, as reading the shorthand will come more naturally to me.
I was pleased when by the end of the day I began to feel at home, as I know that a lot of my time in the future will be in a hospital. I felt really happy with the day, but absolutely exhausted, the porters walk miles and miles every day!
