Licensed to practice!!!

After 14 months of frustration and waiting, I was finally awarded "full registration with a license to practice" by the General Medical Council in late October. The reasons for the tremendous delay were both my fault (not understanding the system) and (mainly) their fault in doing a very poor job of directing me down the correct pathways. The system for registering doctors here is a nightmare of a bureaucracy; the people in it do not even understand it.
