Dr Ed

Hmmm... So this is the bit where I'm supposed to describe myself in a nutshell is it? Easier said than done. I'm not really sure exactly where to start... Well anyway, I'm a 26yr old doctor living in London. I like my job, especially the bits where I get to help save lives and make my patients well again (yes it's really that dramatic... occasionally), although sticking big needles in people can be fun too. You get used to the sight of blood and the smell of vomit pretty quickly... although people vomiting blood still freaks me out! I get very frustrated with all the young fogeys in medicine and wish other doctors could try and enjoy themselves a bit more and not be so damn conservative all the time. Ok, maybe I'm a bit immature. In fact I'm probably one of the least likely doctors you'll ever meet... My credibility is not exactly helped by the fact that I still look about 18 (just call me Dougie Howser) My facial piercings, black nail-polish and dyed-green spiky hair are sadly long gone (thanks to enforced conformity at med school) but I'm still a freak at heart. I'm fascinated by gothic/alternative fashion and art (will be posting here any cool art I can find), and have a bit of a fetish for goth & punk girls... If I wasn't a doctor, I'd be a drummer in a prog-metal band. I've travelled around the world twice with various friends, my favourite places were Tokyo, Bombay and Vietnam. My most intense travelling experience was jumping out of a plane at 15,000ft over Lake Taupo in New Zealand. I can cook amazing authentic Thai curries (if I do say so myself!). I have a bit of an obsession with personal grooming. In fact I have more beauty products in my bathroom shelves than most girls I know. I'm recently out of a relationship so I'm kind of enjoying just being myself for a change and having some fun ;-) I have a very sick sense of humour. One day i'll actually get around to starting my blog and let's just say you might be a little shocked...CHECK OUT MY BAND WINNING THE HEAVY METAL "STARS IN THEIR EYES COMPETITION" AT THE PACIFIC EDGE NIGHTCLUB(THE MUSIC IS DREAM THEATER IN CASE YOU DON'T RECOGNISE IT!)
