I had the biggest "Oh s###!" moment of my life a few days ago.
I'd become a doctor and my first patients (A woman with about 14 kids) had left for some reason after I'd been told to leave the room to check something on the internet and told her to wait a minute.
So this other woman comes in, and another Doctor's sitting in with me (as it's my first day) and she says she's been suffering with her arthritis. I ask her to stand in the middle of the room and walk in front of her, then I look at the other doctor and realise I have absolutely no knowledge of medicine whatsoever. I make a quick guess and she seems happy and I wake up.
