6am

Normal rising time, unless our cat Puca decides otherwise. Breakfast is porridge and orange juice before catching the Dart from Sandymount to Tara Street, and onwards, via bus, to St James’s Hospital. I work across two sites, St James’s where I treat adult patients, and Crumlin, where I look after young adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). I have great support from great teams on both sites.
