professional portfolio

Dear portfolio,


I know you are meant to exist to help me in my learning - but why then do you not assist me at all?


Why cant I simply hand in my already handwritten notes about every patient I saw on my eight weeks of GP?
Why do I have to rewrite eight cases - and enter all of my data into a program online that doesnt work half the time?
How will you help me portfolio when I have already synthesised my cases, just in an Amy way?


Why do you have to be a document?
All that means is that I have spent two hours formatting you, so I feel like you look pretty - even though you dont have any substance yet. nothing written of significance - but my perfectionism wont let you be anything but pretty, even if I never actually write you.


and yes, you do waste my time by forcing me to complain on a public forum about your existence.
Cant you leave me alone?
Can you write yourself? or simply disappear off of my curriculum? 


Anything I write in you will never be an adequate representation of all that I learnt and experienced on placement anyway - so why should I do this?
why jump through hoops for the sake of it?


you are due tomorrow. 
and I dont like you.
you may not get written.
I am okay with that.
