During the day, the job was manageable, if mind-numbing and insanely
time -consuming. You turn up every morning for the ‘ward round’,
where your whole team of doctors pootles past each of their patients.
You trail behind like a hypnotised duckling, your head cocked to one
side in a caring manner, noting down every pronouncement from your
seniors. Then you spend the rest of your working day filling in forms,
making phone calls. Not really what I’d trained so hard for.
From this extract, give two tasks completed by the doctors.
You may use your own words or quotations from the text.
