What am i doing here ?
Gosh in 2 days time my minor posting is going to end .. I can feel that i’ve learn something but what ever it was, it’s incomplete .. 4 different posting, 2 weeks each .. To me its just too short .. My brain is not fast enough i guess .. Just finished doing the past year question, well more like reading the answer rather then actually trying to answer haha .. Medical student .. This is the quality of our future doctors .. Perhaps my brain needs more holiday but my gut feeling wants to starts working as soon as possible .. 2 days from exam and I’m here writing my blog .. What does that means ???? I don’t know .. The time is too short to cover everything so why bother .. Emergency medicine, opthalmology, dermatology and ear, nose and throat .. can you imagine having all these posting in one particular exam ..
Would i stress myself to even attemp to get distinction .. I can’t even get distinction for one posting let alone 4 .. SO i think i’m just gonna keep on reading the answer and the question from past year tomorrow and the day after that and hopefully .. it’ll come out …
Next month i’ll be doing my elective in IJN … There, i’ll be posted in cardiology for 2 weeks, anesthesiology 1 week and cardiothoracic surgery for 1 week … I’ve always wanted to work there and settledown here in KL … Its a good place to work other then the traffic jam … A lot of people life were saved here .. I’m actully a bit worried about cardiothoracic though, cause my future supervisor is a big shot consultant trained in mayo clinic USA .. you know the teaching hospital in greys anatomy .. Will I be able to impress him .. I’ve been planing to prepare myself for this but so far was unsuccessful cause busy studying minor posting.
Why do medical student study ? What motivate them to sit down for long hours reading, understanding and memorizing instead of going out enjoying life ? I have my own theory ..
In every posting, we had teaching session with our lecturer in the hospital .. We call it the bedside teaching .. A few of us will take history and perform physical examination and present the case during bedside teaching .. During this session our beloved lecturer will ask many question about the case presented and most of us try our best to show off our knowledge by answering his question .. Of course most of the time the bright student will answer the question .. As for the rest of us , well what to do we just cant remember .. Thats why we keeps on reading .. Lecturer will remember the bright ones and they will talk about them with other lecturers … We didn’t actually gain any throphy, it’s just that most of us were once the best student in our class .. ANd when someone prove that we are not the best anymore, we work harder to gain our title back .. A bit sad huh …thats the reality …
I dont have any specific thing to write actually .. I just open my blog and start typing what ever cross my mind .. Have a good day everybody ..
