TeaBrief

Good morning friendos! Honestly can't believe you've returned for another episode? Regardless, you're in for a doozy. As we get close to the end of the year, we chat about our favourite rotations as students, share in ward call woes and Noa's internet drama.

Tea of the episode: Twinings - Live Well, Revive+, 2.67/5. Must brew in boiling water for 3 mins for vitamin B6 benefits - Nikki is now extremely deficient and regrets her diluted cold apple juice.

"Our trio's down to two
Oh...

The sweet caress of twilight
There's magic everywhere
And with all this romantic atmosphere
Disaster's (i.e. Bells' becoming a doctor) in the air..."

Hi hello and welcome to the last episode of 2021!!!!! Today is a very exciting episode, and not because Bells is leaving us as the title suggests, but because he has officially finished med school and is about to be a paid, full-time employee! 🎉🎉🎉 In honour of this milestone, this morning we're reflecting on our most memorable moments during med school and how they have shaped us to become the students + soon-to-be doctor that we are today.

Tea of the episode: alcohol, 10/10 would recommend. Thanks for listening and humouring us this season! We'll back in your ears in 2022!

Omg hi! Welcome to the penultimate episode of this season! Join us for a very important discussion on the nuances of how scones and croissants can trigger acts of defiance in the face of bullying towards medical students and junior doctors. To quote Noa - "there are two kinds of interactions when baked goods are involved - it can go very, very badly, or very, very well."

Tea of the episode: Madame Flavour's Green, Jasmine and Pear, overall unqualified rating 2.7/5. Huge thanks to Sophie for the recommendation and we're sorry that Noa does not share your love for it :(

Forget Love Island, The Bachelor or MAFS - dating as a med student is considerably more entertaining if not tragic for some. This week we're wearing our heart on our sleeves and discussing navigating the uncharted the territories of dating as a med student/junior doctor (and roasting Bells in the process - constantly).
