- You always had me. We talked for ages on the phone and spent too much time together. You told me everything and opened yourself to me. I didn't show how much I appreciated you. And when I did, it was too late.
- You got me thinking about growing up. Changing myself and we chatted and laughed and were silly too much. We did a lot of things together. And for some reason, we drifted apart.
- You were my first crush after highschool. Met you on the first day of uni and we had something going on. I was too shy and ran away in the opposite direction to you, literally. I'm a shy one and didn't believe your sincerity or ability to be true. You found another. I regret not being friends or getting to know you better. I miss your personality.
- You are my oldest friend who I have known for the longest time. We haven't always talked, but since uni started we got talking and have kept inconstant contact everynow and then. We have grown and are changing. Please continue to be there.
- It's just beginning for us and for some reason we were separated. But now it's just great and I'm glad that we're talking. We can dream great dreams and be silly together. I'm glad for you.
- You were a role model I appreciated from a distance, and were nervous even to walk past you in the staff kitchen/mail room as you read ECGs so casually, so easily. You seemed so knowledgeable and helpful to students, and consulted pharmacy even though your drug orders were faultless. I looked up to you and your prescriptions. I wonder what it would be like to be on your team.
- You believed in me as a student and that I had something. You gave me bonus points for an insigificant year7 end of year exam essay on permafrost and I appreciated that. You even pointed it out to the class, surprising and embarrassing as it was. And more than a decade later, I wonder how you are.
- You don't know how much I admire you as a person, your interests, your manner, your intelligence. You don't know me and are not interested in knowing about me. You have cold parts to you, but I can't help admiring you. I secretly want to be more like you. You and another person have proved to me that not all Surg Regs are not plain utterly rude. You also proved to me that you can know as much as you want to know about anything. You're an inspiration and I can't help admiring you.
- Dear Med Reg who I first bumped into when I started working life, you were funny and smart and never looked down on me. You spent time talking to me and went out of your way to make sure to say goodbye to me on your last day. I appreciated our platonic friendship for what it was and wonder how you are today.
- Dear Oncology Reg, you were a funny one at first. I thought you'd be this awful rude guy, but you turned out to be this cute quirky young guy who blushed when asking specfically for my help. I thought you were gorgeous for that. You proved to me that being straight forward and clear about corrections can cause people to feel respectful and consider you for help in the future, rather than apologetic. You should have asked me for help before the last day before my exam when I wasn't trying to absorb as much as I could before my 'swot vac'
- Mr cranky COPD patient who no one would listen to. I listened to you for a long time and we talked for about half the day. The first real patient who I spoke to. I'll remember you because you revealed something to me because you thought I was helpful. I'll remember how important it is to listen to the noisy when everyone else has stopped listening. You're the reason why I enjoy talking to patients for ages.
