10 Years and Running

When was my life changed? According to fortune-telling, my bad luck was until 19-year-old.

Watching some 90's music videos, it reminds me of my teenager and I feel I aged now.

The summer of 2002, I went to England and it was the first time to go abroad. Everything was shine and fascinating. If I was son of a rich family, I could have gone back to England for studying English.

After graduating from university, working in university hospital for 3 years was one of my turning points. Colleagues are really clever and I could experience lots of things within 3 years because normally most radiographers take for 10 years.

Another turning point was the life in London. This experience made my vision wider. 2 and half years were meaningful. I could know what the world standard is.

Now I'm retrieving the sense and skill I've forgotten through working in two clinics. I am registered on HPC as a Radiographer and the only thing I have to do is to find a job in England. This is the highest mountain I must climb.

Dreaming come true or settling down in the countryside. Everything is depending on my decision.

Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!

Wish all a happy holiday season and a wonderful new year!

Let The Music Play!

1年前のこの時期は、英語の試験で目標点数が取れたこともあり、Radiographerのイギリスでの申請準備をしていた。あれから1年、いろいろな積み重ねがあり、やっと「Register」というところまでやってきた。日本での臨床経験もこの審査に含まれているため、6年がかりの大きな第一歩と言える。

日本での生活に慣れると、世界中探してもこんなに便利な場所はないと感じる。現在の円高も考えれば、時が熟すまで日本で準備することもひとつの手だったとは思う。しかし、自分の中には「35才：新しいことに対応できる最後の年齢」というリミットがあり、30才を目前にしている自分にとっては、あまり時間がない。「2年間の超音波検査のトレーニング受ける」という選択肢もあったが、「今しかできないこと」を考え「海外での挑戦」を取った。

まだまだインプットしないといけないことは限りなくあるけれど、１日１日を積み重ねていくことが唯一の解決策だと思う。

毎日、朝から晩まで忙しいけれど、必ずや自分の夢を叶えてみせる。

I've never been more alone than here
I turn and face my darkest fear
I just got to keep on keeping on

And when it all comes crashing down
Listen to the sound

My rehabilitation!

土曜の午前中は、消化器系の開業医でエコー、CT、単純撮影のバイト。

移動を挟んで、午後はこれから脳クリニックで頭部・脊体のMRIと単純撮影のバイト。

3年も臨床から離れている自分にとって、感覚を取り戻すためのとてもいいバイト。

あと半年、英語で医療の勉強をしながら、いろいろな忘れていたことを取り戻そう！

11.11.11

I am working at 3 places in Nov & Dec and it's 6 days in a week. I really enjoy this busy life and I am happy that I can manage my schedule perfectly. Every time I think, I need stimulation to keep myself up. Cosy life is bad for me!

The assessment of radiographer license reaches at the final stage. I must pay attention for it like airplane is landing.

State-of-the-art

Since I got iPad2 a week ago, my life has been changed dramatically.

The tablet connects me to the internet world more and more, and I am feeling that it is quite addictive.

However, Apple's application soft & iCloud make me surprise.

Anatomy application soft let me learn efficiently and I had never imagined this function when I was a university student a decade ago.

iCloud also shows me the next stage of possibilities on the internet.

I think that some will rely on it more and others can not handle it anymore.

29-year-old Resolution

I would like to progress to the next stage by 30-year-old.

This next stage means that I can be able to work in hospital as a radiographer in the UK.

I have been waiting for the result of the assessment even though the staff told me to send the result ASAP when I called to the institution two weeks ago.

It is really tough time now.

When I left London, I had a plan, which is to go back to England in June 2012. However, I lost myself through living in Japan.

October is the half way point of my plan.

I want to build up my medical knowledge using iPad2's application.
