While up in Wisconsin for deer hunting, I also had a chance to see some of my family, including my cousin Billy, his wife Carmen, and their two sons (Mitchell, left, and Zack, right). They're ipod whizzes - know features their parents don't, and love playing games. Had a great visit - especially since Mitch loves having his picture taken!

I've eaten breakfast and am sat in the lounge, hunched over The Herald, failing to do the crossword. This is my morning tradition. One day I'm going to complete the crossword. And on that day, my brains will come down my nose.

 

A Techy course chatters on the couches behind me. One of them slumps into the upholstery.

 

"Oh GOD - I feel like I've been here FOREVER."

 

An artery begins to twitch in my temple as I turn round.

 

"Forever?"

 

"Yeah."

 

"You're on....what? Week three?"

 

"Yeah."

 

Synapses fire, I wrestle to keep my voice even.

 

"I'm starting week thirteen, total time here. After three weeks WE'RE allowed to start going crazy; YOU should still be bouncing about and having fun. Your tolerance should still be high enough to be smiling through it all. I, on the other hand, am beginning to fantasise about riding a tricycle up and down the geometrically carpetted corridors upstairs. I've got a typewriter all inked and ready. I'm super fly TNT. Another ten weeks in here? Fuck no, not today, thank you kindly."

 

They stare at me. I smile, pop the creases back into the paper and stride off to class.

 

An A&E senior doctor delivers an excellent lecture on trauma, explaining and illustrating all the hellish complicated physics bits with real life examples. He then talks us through assessing a trauma patient, we feverishly scribble down notes and points he raises as "important". He'll be assessing us at the end of the week, so it's only wise to do it 'his' way

 

He's friendly, easy-going and pragmatic - "We're nothing more than inflated mechanics, we just put air and water in the machine in increasingly clever ways." - and when we laugh at his attempts to draw pictures he laughs back and invites us all to fuck off.

 

Lecturers like this, I could get used to.

 

We spend the afternoon revising his lesson, I discover "Don Juan Syndrome" - a combination of bilateral broken heels and spinal damage, most commonly found in people who jump from upstairs windows and balconies.

 

Ahhh medics, sick fuckers to the end.

 

Benito rolls into the classroom and asks me - "Aramis? Who's that?"

 

I tell him.

 

"Why Aramis? We googled it, it's a wee bird thing with long legs and a big nose, he's not happy."

 

I realise I've mispelled it - I KNEW I couldn't spell D'Artagnan (see?) but thought I'd made a good stab of it. I explain the situation and avoid having my head kicked in by the teaching staff.
