YOZ!
Another lazy week has drawn to a close. I don't think i've done much studying or revising in the way of things.
It must be the freaking weather it has become cold and wet. come this saturday we will be setting our clocks back by and hour. It really is rather complicated at times all these set the time back and forth business. but Dana gave me a good way of remembering whether it's forward or back by and hour : '' fall BACK, spring Forward'' fall and spring related to season not the action of course.
Yesterday was a rather interesting day. had one lecture at nine, then ward rounds and then i went back later in the afternoon to clerk and examine a patient.
Well..here's an announcement to the whole world : HELP! PPLE ARE STEALING PATIENTS FROM MY ENDOCRINE AND GENERAL MEDICINE WARD!!!!
AND THat FUCKING GREEK GIRL is the PRIME CULPRIT! BITCH!!!!
WEll...so fine...yesterday me and a whole group of us from my ward group got TURNED AWAY from OUR OWN WARD! but well fine...the ARI is a huge hospital with lotsa wards
so I went to wards 49 and 50 which are general surgery wards.
and I managed to get a fine catch.
A lovely old lady who was so welcoming and open and new probably more about her medical condition and drugs than I did and was generous enough to share and explain it to me. She was lovely. And she had very interesting history as well as lovely observable stuff on examination. unfortunately i cannot elaborate more. u should know why.
I really like talking to the patients here. It's kinda funny when they address u as ' love ' or 'darling' . Makes you feel so welcomed even though u know you're being a total pain in the arse and that deep inside you know that your incessant questioning and prodding would drive yourself right up the bend if it were you lying on that bed. But they don't mind, they smile at you, joke at you and repeat whatever they've just said fifteen minutes ago to a previous batch again and again. And they don't complain. Instead they sympathise with you and whenever u apologise for being such a pain, they say that 'No, it's more difficult for you asking the questions'' some even offer you a glass of ice water.
Sometimes all this kindness makes you feel ashamed and guilty. Ashamed if you haven't revised your work well, or if you missed important details. Guilty that you have to make them recall unhappy memories of miscarriages and deaths in the family.
Guilty that you have to make them say all this and still put on a happy smile and joke and laugh with you.
SIghz... one of the little ironies in life. Thank you God for letting me meet such great pple and I earnestly pray that they will get better and live happy lives.
