    I think that you need to understand, as do all workers in public health, that you will be personally involved in patients getting worse, (as well as better), whether its due to mistakes, oversights, other people, or a malign fate. You may then discover things about your employer/employees, friends, family, government and the general public that you did not know before, also both good and bad. It will require a certain strength to deal with all of that.

    Long hours, risk of prosecution, having to deal with the public.

    Watching people die - slowly (and it's impact on their loved ones)

    Positive pregnancy tests on 12 year olds

    Women who have been raped and "can't see their own doctor"

    Children as carers.

    Watching as elderly GP's loose control of their surgeries.

    Have to concentrate at 100% peak 100% of the time.
    Work in noisy distracting environments.
    Dragging yourself off to work on a monday morning.
    Where am I?; In the Pharmacy.
    Who are you?; The new Number 2.
    Who is number 1?; You are number 6.
    What do you want?;..................

    Mondays are no longer manic thanks to PCS. Tuesday is the new heavy day.
