I was hesitant to write this post, and I am not afraid to say I pushed it back until the very last minute.

Today is the 11th of September 2021. I do understand life might have caught you in its relentless whirlwind and you might not have realised the significance of this date.

Nearing the end of my geriatric rotation now, the very last block of the hospital stage of my third year in medical school. I only have a handful of placements left and seeing patient after patient the days become a blur, a conglomerate of faces and common disorders.
