Oh frabjous day!

[brightlywoven]

Here I am, studying (and watching scrubs) on a Friday night, distracting myself from memorising antituberculous agents by checking the web and I check BBC news...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7087846.stm

It was only a fortnight ago I discovered the proposal that would lock me out of training in the UK, but my god it has felt like a long time. Exactlyhalf and I have tried to reformulate our universe in the light of what looked to be a crushing blow. I honestly thought the chances of this appeal succeeding were in the order of 1%. I'd even begun filling out a DPhil application. And now, glorious reprieve.

I get to stay! And work! And train in a sensible order! Caloo, callay. I'm going to have a glass of wine and a celebratory chortle.

On a contemplative note though, I now I have a tendancy to anticipate trouble. I've certainly put myself through a lot of grief by expecting the worst here. Then again, if I'd been sanguine, I do believe there was a large chance I would have ended up stranded and unprepared. Still, it does take it out of one to anticipate disaster.

"Guidance making it harder for doctors from overseas to take up training posts in the NHS has been ruled unlawful."

Hahahahaha! *sticks two fingers up at the government* It's official - stupid people make bad laws.

You get to stay! Yay! And Britain gets decent quality doctors too! Common sense rules for once. I'm very pleased for you - this must be such a relief. Have another glass of wine :)

Thank you! I've followed up the wine with some blackberry gin and feeling very chuffed!

I'm very, very pleased that sense has won the day and that you will be able to stay and work here.

[dr-biscuit.livejournal.com]

I know! Does it mean I've gone a little native that I fully expected that sense would *not* win the day?

[parrot-knight.livejournal.com]

Oh, without question! ;)

You have been assimilated

Was so very happy when footnote told us this - I bounced for a full minute or more!

Very very happy and yes, so very glad that this hellish saga is over now. May the rest of your days here be full of contentment and peace - you've certainly earned them.

[dr-biscuit.livejournal.com]

Sorry I missed cealdis bouncing! (But then I again, I'm very glad to have missed last night if it meant finding this out sooner!).

Oh that's fantastic :D I'm so glad that at least one stupid law has been averted...

[dr-biscuit.livejournal.com]

thank you!

Congratulations! I'm glad that this discriminatory nonsense was kicked down by the court.

[dr-biscuit.livejournal.com]

Yes, I certainly owe the british physicians of indian origin a big thank you!

Let us chortle in our joy! Well done, thank goodness, and FINALLY. Welcome back (to stay!)

*Chortle*
Thanks for your support (and who is this gorgeous little person?)

One of my nephews, the smaller of the two. He recently knocked out a tooth, but the asymmetry actually gives him a rather mischievous grin. I figured that he could stand in for my own smile of joy regarding your triumph over the system. :)

Again, WOOT!
