busy

I seriously didnt mean to avoid you, I m just busy. Sorry, I m not attending any social events unless you asked me to.

Not talking to you is just a way to protect myself.I cannot let myself get hurt because of you and what you did.

Since I chose to be busy, I have to be committed.

 I hope you understand. Sorry.

Never fail to excite me

It's a normal morning during the holiday which I just laze around. I woke up early to go to the hospital again.
Sleepy as usual because I slept late last night.

We are supposed to go to the opthalmology department to learn something about the eyes. When we reached there, there was very very little people there. It's closed. To make things worse, there is only ONE patient in the opthalmology ward!!!So, we decided to turn back and go home. However, it was raining heavily.

We have no other place to go so we went to the medical ward. I was so excited my sleepiness went away when I saw a patient with very very prominent veins all over his trunk! SVC obstruction! Oh wow, I thought my medical knowledge left me. I m glad that they didnt.

Hmm,,there is an infectious disease specialist,a Chest Medical officer, internal medicine specialist and his medical officers and house officers there. They all have really different views on this patient who presented with an interesting history -- no symptoms at all except recent shortness of breath ,dry cough and runny nose! oh and he had a virchow's node (strong family hx of gastric ca btw)!

After all of them went off, I talked to the patient. He is a really really  nice man. He seemed quite restless when the doctors' discussion went all over the place.

Oh well, I hope he gets well soon! The medical ward just never fail to excite me!

Last week

Last week.


It was the most eventful week this year. My groupmates and I got scolded by the tutors for many times. I wonder why. Is it really our fault or should we blame the system?

I have been really busy and haven't got the chance to sit down properly to study surgery. I felt really bad but I didnt want to sacrifice too much of my health just to fill up my brain with surgical stuff. I am not sure if I made the right choice. I think I can still cope. Hopefully.


Oh well. It's holiday now.

I did something that I never thought I would do in my entire medical school life. Some people call it love. Some people call it stupid. I bought Craisins for patients who has to " celebrate" their raya in the ward. Have you tried giving random people things? How do you think Santa will feel like? It's not easy at all.  You need courage to give random people free things that you bought with your own money.

I saw a patient with polyarteritis nodosa. She pretended to sleep when me and my friend approach her. oh, poor thing,she must have been clerked by many many students that she is so sick of it. I didnt force her to wake up and talk to me.

I placed the Craisin and a note on the table beside her.
Dear V,

This Craisins is for you. Get well soon.

I didnt put my name on it.

So, instead of sitting down reading the piles of books that I m supposed to read, this is what I have been doing.What do you think? Is this  right or wrong?

OKay, time to start mugging. I hope they get well soon.. everyone in the wards.
