Since passing my finals I've received four or five emails addressing me as Dr.
All of them are junk e-mails but I still get a small warm zap of egoism each time. And although I haven't yet seen any patients or participated in the hat ceremony my identity as medical student is steadily and undeniably drifting away from me.
The most significant manifestation is the expiration of my student card which runs out at the end of the month. I am deeply saddened at the prospect of paying actual money to acquire that daily shameful extra cheeseburger from the McDonalds down the road from the hospital.
This all means that my rubbish unoriginal blog title and url need updating too. "medstudentwords" was boring but descriptive but now its not even accurate. So, until I outgrow it or change it, the new title for my home on the digital will be "juniorblogtor". I am aware that this is an extremely poor title, but my alternatives were even worse:
cyberjonny
technolojonny
drblog
procrastimedicine
bowelsoftheweb
juniordoctorwords
crashcall
blogtoroctopus
drblogtopus
droctoblog
weak-foundations
diarrhoeaideas
jonnyology
blogacetamolqds
sheesh.
