On popular request :p

I have been too lazy to blog since there is little time left besides going to hospital and studying.

Just some quick updates:
I am now attached to rehab so there is absolutely nothing to do in the wards.

I planned to finish my next MCR soon but the registrar went on holiday without informing me :(

My new fifth years aren't all friendly.Some of them think that the 3rd years are invisible.How disappointing. Now I miss Corrine. Kai, give her back!

I may attach myself to another unit for fun^^ since I don't learn much in rehab.

That's it, folks.

University life

A university is what a college becomes when the faculty loses interest in students.
- John Ciardi

No more spoon-feeding because we are adults.
Less structured teachings as the faculty encourages self exploration of knowledge.
More assignments that are not relevant to the science of medicine.
No past year questions as the faculty reuses them all the time.
I doubt I know enough anatomy to pass my intern year in the future.
No one cares if you go to hospital or not provided that you submit your MCRs on time and pass your exams.

Just some random thoughts from the quote.

生活的无奈

看到表弟的部落格，心里突然有些感慨。

生活很无常，世事难料。

有谁会想到我现在竟会在墨尔本上大学？

从没想过会和家人朋友离得那么远。

有时很是想念中学时光，不知我的昔日好友过得怎样？

如果我没有选择医科，生活应该很不一样吧！

有时很压力，认为除了读书还是要拼命苦读。 生活有时很黯淡，应为只要稍为落后，就再也追不上了。

有时很累，但却还是要老早就起床去医院学习。

有时很想放弃。

这条路真的那么崎岖吗？

不管怎样还是要努力走下去。

希望在荆棘远处有曙光。

人因梦想而伟大！

加油！

It's her again!

Dinesha has made my day^^
She gave us a patient and asked us about the diagnosis after general inspection alone.
And..tada! We all diagnosed Cushings!(playing doctors are not that difficult eh?)
And I did my MCR.Met a young lady with cardiomyopathy with ejection fraction 10% but she was recovering. Kinda depressing.

Bid farewell to some dear ortho registrars, resident and locum. Nice people indeed.

BUT
When I reached home, I smelt something burnt.
She did it again :(
She cooked her pot of stuff for the WHOLE DAY!
She did NOT turn off the heater as well.
It's lucky that the house was not turned into ashes.
Now my room smelt like bushfire!
SHE spoiled my day..

I love my friday but not today!

OMG I am on TV!

The latest Australian Story featured Dr Michael Buist, an ICU specialist in Dandenong Hospital. When Ryan and I were having rotations there, the TV crews took some shots during the ward round.

I soon forgot about it until this evening.

An sms from Prashanti, "You and Ryan are on TV!" followed shortly by Leo's. We quickly switched on the TV. And we saw some of our friends(Elliot,Trung, Camy and Leo)and staff at DDH as well.

This is sooo hilarious. I couldn't stop myself from laughing.

1st day in hospital

We had already finished ward round at 8am. Just waiting for the consultant clinic now.

Felt a bit out of place today.

2nd last day of my winter holiday

Yes, I am depressed! Because I have to wake up 6.00am on monday for wardround. Because holiday has come to an end, too abrupt that is. Because I am keen to laze around. Because I like having no plan for the day.

I wish I could have posted something more motivating...LOL...

1/3 through neuro exam for Dinesha's tute on thursday...wish I can be more productive
