i'm finally done with medicine posting. an enriching experience nevertheless.
all the pain and stress we gotta go through just to get to that point we desire.
during my exam another patient collapsed, and the doctors tried to resuscitate him, and then he died. poor old man. what was irritating was how the 3 doctors were so insensitive, in a way, i feel, because they treated him like a dummy, really. and were more worried about getting sweaty and tired from all the cardiac massage rather than trying to put in their best to save his life. despite the poor prognosis, come on. imagine if he was your grandfather!
november should be easy, because i'm going to be posted in community medicine. which is just well, something like pendidikan moral. more or less. and then december, unfortunately, i will be posted at surgery, which is by far the toughest most stressful part of the whole programme partly because the hod professor is quite the strict but evil-strict rather than good-strict and also the extra classes beyond 5pm which extend sometimes to 7-8pm and then the extra classes on saturdays. which means my last month of the year - supposedly the holiday month for everyone else is pretty much going to be hell for me. unfairrrrr
when i started this blog initially i told myself i won't write about anything related to medical school because well, i thought it'd be good to have a space away from all that. an area i could drift away from the daily stuff once in a while but i guess i failed. hehe. it's not easy when it's taking up all of me!!
quite the unnecessary update.
