Abstract
Overall, this summer has been a good one. I re-started scuba diving. Now that I have a steady income, I can take up an old hobby. I have rekindled my love for the water and being under water – though, at 17˚C, the UK waters are a tad colder than the lovely 28˚C waters of the Dominican Republic I visited in March. July also saw graduation. Despite finishing university in September 2023, graduation was held in July 2024. It was lovely to spend a week back in the North of England, seeing old mentors and friends. During graduation, I had the opportunity to speak with my tutors that had moved on to different pastures. It was lovely to see them and tell them about my adventures in London.However, the week before graduation, while on a day shift, I made my first major error. I attended to a patient who was fitting. In the London Ambulance Service (LAS), we administer Midazolam to assist in terminating seizure activity. Abstract published with permission.
