I have been home for 4 weeks already, and I must say, time really does fly. I have already started my O&G rotation and it has not been as.. exciting.. as I thought it would be. I have decided that I’m going to take charge of the rotation, because what the seniors said is true: they don’t really care much about elective students. It kind of makes me wonder how out of touch some people might be with being a student. I’m not saying that all of them are like that, but I’m pretty sure the suffering endured as a med student would stick with doctors well into their consultancy. Then again, I’m not 50, so I can’t say what my memory would be like at that age.
daryl actually commented that over the week i was a lot more lacklustre than before, like i had suddenly developed this apathetic nature and could not be bothered with anything. when he came over he was trying to get me to think about what was really wrong. i guess one thing that i really need to do is to start reflecting on my daily experiences. i think recently i’ve just been getting carried away with my irritation and temper without considering what might be the reason behind each experience. he told me that i should start each day with a prayer (which honestly i haven’t been doing..) and with each time i got irritated, just pause to think what message God has for me. and i must say it works.. :) thank you, dear, for the redirection.
Was in clinic with this really nice consultant yesterday. While we were waiting for the next patient, she told me that the next patient had a miscarriage and her purpose for attending the clinic was to monitor her bhcg, which had been declining. So when the patient was called, this 70 year old woman walked into the consultation room and Dr Teo, the nurse and I were all shocked for a minute and just stared.. then the nurse said, “not you! you’re not the patient, you’re in the wrong room!” after the patient left the room, the nurse said, “pfft. beta hcg..” haha :)
and yesterday was april fool’s day! although i remembered it for the entire morning, by the time 5pm came around, i was slightly out of it. i sat in for this ultrasound discussion between the sonographers and my mentor when i received a message from shuyu that said that wei de and xin fang got together.. this is the thread of messages:
