Dr JRs last week in training before he goes bush.

Dr Jonathon Ramachenderan has just spent a year learning how to be a GP-Anaesthetist.  He has been through a year as a Registrar in a supervised position – and now he is about to jump head on into the world of a country doc / GP proceduralist.  As far as training goes a year in Anaesthesia is about the bare minimum you could do to be competent.

My recollections of this process are anxiety-provoking yet rewarding at the same time.  I remember walking into my ‘new’ operating theatre for the first time and seeing an ancient Boyle’s machine that actually required manual re-plumbing to switch from the bag to the ventilator!  I learned a lot about the inner workings of the machine quickly.

JR has put his thoughts down for you all to read :-

Best of luck to JR in his first few weeks.  Hope he will have some insights to share with us as he climbs the steep learning curve of solo practice.  I hope to follow him on his journey from city to bush, from rookie to boss and learn a bit on the way.

Enjoy

Casey
