It's a lazy sunday :)
This weekend was supposed to be dedicated to studying, seeing how i kept it absolutely free. But evil thoughts invaded my mind and I'm absolutely hooked on this serial called Love Bond. It's currently showing on channel U and i'm probably slower than that! But it's really great not having to sit thru commercials and waste an entire hour per episode. hurhur this reminds me of the time i was so crazy abt that silly frog prince show. *blush*
Anyway, this weekend was supposed to be study-weekend becos e end of posting test is coming up soon! mcqs in 2 weeks, long/short cases in 3 weeks!
I'm quite psyched up about last minute preparations and making the final dash towards the end. I've been feeling quite tired walking around the wards. There's this indescribable feeling of doom and fatigue that washes over me as I walk around the wards, looking at rows of bed filled with patients who look so ill. Somehow, the patients in the surgical wards didn't look as bad. For an instant, it's as though I were consumed by their sadness and hardships. And in the next, I'm back to my un-feeling self who goes around clerking and looking at patients for the signs they might have.
Everyday, we learn a new lesson. Not merely in the areas of clinical practice, but also how to care for our patients. Last week, it was to treat every patient as we would our father, mother, brother or sister. That's a deceptively simple lesson in life. I'm only into my 3rd/4th month of official postings..and I've already done so many things contrary to such good advice. Haiz, I'm sorry for all the times I tried to take blood or set plugs on u, or got irritated becos u were so incomprehensible.
It's been a week of weird lecturers - from the analysis of shit to the constant bragging of past achievements, boring lectures, and good tutorials. Not forgetting the little birthday parties in between, and not falling sick!, I think i've learnt alot indeed.
P.S forgot to msg u carol, hope ur exam on saturday went well :)

i saw dustyskies at 2:00 PM
hey!
my test went ok i guess. thanks for thinking of smsing me, so sweet of you! how was the party?! sigh, sorry i missed out on meeting up with u 2 weeks in a row!
just came back from hosp too, my grandpa's in for a couple of days, hope it's nothing serious... ya i always wondered how doctors can really care for patients when it all becomes so mechanical and technical, but i guess thats why its such a noble profession, press on (:
you don't write badly at all! it's straight from the heart which is what a lot of us need nowadays anyway.
now you've given me some other website to cyberstalk! and as all cyberstalkers are, i shall be ANONYMOUS. :)
thanks for dinner.
