Back at home

So there Im back in Poland which is actually quite sunny and warm. Things are so far quite good and Im getting all the rest I need. I am also learning how to play that weird card game with my brothers. You have to choose a character and it has a power and then you have challenges or you can play for things and elicsirs and its all really confusing because you can get wounds too and its embarassing to get it explained by a 5 year old brother. Time to do some work will come soon. Tomorrow Im ringing a doctor to find out when I can come to hospital - yey.

Not going back

I read the recent paper online in Polish and came to the conclusion that I would not be going home (ie back to Poland) when I finish my training here by the look of it. The government is going to introduce new scheme where newly qualified doctors not only have to take an extra exam after so many years of exams in training (which is debatable if its a good or bad thing) but also will have to pay for training in order to specialise. Hospitals are not keen to have non-specialised doctors so its very hard for them to get placements at hospitals. Not only they will earn hardly any money while working but they will also have to pay for training. In order to do that they will have to get a loan. After finishing the course of specialisation (another 6 years) they wish to leave the country, they will have to repay it back inn\ one go from what I understand. Nope, I dont think Im going back :(
