About me

An Introduction

90 words posted by Simon on 9 November 2004

I went to school and college and (for a while) work with JRC. I’m now studying medicine at the University of Durham, in Stockton (confusingly), though from 1 September I will be based in (take a deep breath)…

  • James Cook University Hospital (Middlesbrough)
  • University Hospital of North Tees (Stockton)
  • University Hospital of Hartlepool
  • Bishop Auckland General Hospital
  • Darlington Memorial Hospital
  • St Luke’s Hospital (Middlesbrough)

So if you’re going to be ill, avoid those areas.

At the weekends, I live in a pineapple under the sea

From 30th August until Christmas, it has now been confirmed that I shall be based at North Tees. Just thought you’d appreciate the update.
