When medicine isn’t on the forefront of my life, I enjoy eating food that I didn’t have to prepare myself, I enjoy people and fellowshipping with them, watching cat video’s on instagram for hours on end, high intensity spinning classes with my best friend, running a part time business and then shopping online telling myself that I deserve it.

I’m excited to play doctor at the clinics during this rotation and being challenged.

Greetings, I guess.

Still hurt that Liverpool lost again on Sunday. I mean why can't we win anymore? This title race is getting away from us.

Anyway, I am an advocate for male make-up (we are also under a lot of pressure to look beautiful).

I am passionate about RuPaul's (go Symone), fashion (dungarees go in) and photography (capturing candid moments). One of these facts is incorrect. Enjoy.

Looking forward to the next 4 week, making the most of the time spend in Fam Med.

Hello! 🤓 my name is Calyn- like the ‘calen’ in calendar 🗓

When I’m not cramming for tests or zoning out in online lectures 💭, you’ll find me caffeinating ☕️, watching series 💻 and sending unnecessarily long voice notes to friends 🗣

Home for me is in Pietermaritzburg, where I love playing with my dogs, spending time with my family and eating my mum’s cooking. ♥️

It’s clear that there has been significant effort put into this rotation, for which I’m very grateful. I’m certainly looking forward to gaining valuable knowledge and clinical experience in the upcoming weeks. 🩺

Lizanne de Kock
I am an extremely shy person, but as a good red wine, I have aged to better express myself. I am originally from the Western Cape, where I completed my MSc, before I realised I actually have a passion for medicine. I see myself as a collector and will probably never stop studying...

I love to sleep, although it is not possible with this degree...I am adventurous and believe you are never to old to try something new. I enjoy spending time with my husband, twin sister (yes identical) and our parents.

I am passionate about medicine and research and am excited to learn more about family medicine.

" When you are tired, get some rest. When you are sad, go ahead and cry. It's okay to take a break...because there will surely come a day when you will be able to run again." This is perhaps one of my favourite quotes from a Korean drama that I've recently watched, one that I like to revisit every now and again. Although a vast majority of my time is spent balancing medicine and binge-watching kdramas, in the few moments in between I enjoy drinking hot chocolate and engaging in meaning, thought-provoking conversations with the ones I hold dear. My mission is to simply live a good life. I have always believed a good life is one where you continuously grow and manifest your potential, and I am looking forward to the impact that this rotation in Family Medicine will have on that endeavour.

# data[].attributes.body
Howdy,😄

My interests are far too numerous to list here but most of them are involved in outdoor adventuring, animals and the environment. 🌱If I’m not in class I’m probably somewhere out there. (Jk... sort of). 😬 Yay for online learning because now I get to spend the day with my dogs.

The indoors bit of my interests includes reading, playing piano and scientificy learning things about the world we live in. So the pursuit of knowledge continues.🌙

A wise man once said: "Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're gonna get."
I think I'm not alone in thinking that this statement has never rung more true than right now, during the midst of a global pandemic.
So may we make the most of this time during Family Med, whichever chocolates it may bring.
Thankyou for coming to my Ted Talk.
Also I enjoy singing/shouting along to good tunes in the shower and eating ice-cream until I burst.

Hi, I'm a lover of selfies, my family, good food and binge watching any series I find interesting. As a medical student who some how always ends up falling more and more in love with medicine one rotation at a time, I hope family medicine will increase that love even more as it's the foundation of medicine. I'm so looking forward to learning and super excited to be going to the clinics.
