Well, it’s back to fending for myself alone now… heh. My parents are on the way home after the short visit. I’ve nothing to do since 3rd medical year is officially OVER. Can’t believe it, I’d be in 4th year next year.
We went mining (I get to wear a hard hat! ). [...]

If I finished earlier ie before the whistle blew, I’d talk with the ‘patients’, just to escape the awkward silence (right bug?). They’re quite friendly and had loads to tell. And I could see that they’re eager to participate in the torture. The ‘JVP Patient’ (who’s a drummer/ in the rowing team/ something to do [...]

C0rmican reminds me of Sean Penn. No wonder I like him. Apart from the fact that he’s got this dry sense of humor. And that he makes the lectures interesting by pouncing on unsuspecting individuals and bombarding them with questions. Plus, he’ll always give us 3 choices if we’re stumped for an answer. I’ve just [...]

Stumbled into my room at 3am. Miraculously, I managed to wake up at 9 this morning. Aching all over now… ouch!
I had a dream. I was back at home and my supposed to be loving family had decided that since I had been away for such a long time, it’s now my responsibility to protect [...]

Today was fun. I think I’m falling in like with the GI team. I mean, they actually bother to talk to us, and they’re genuinely nice and even the consultant’s grand. One of the registrars looked like he’d just walked out of a magazine cover. All polished, tall, dark haired, sharp features… in short, good [...]

Well, we’ve clinched the house yesterday (that’d be the 11th of May) and the landlady gave us the keys to the house . I coaxed myself to climb the mountain ‘cause I can’t bear to be left alone at home while the others get to snoop around the new place. A bit of blood, [...]

DISPERSE!!
Was what the female surgeon barked to the few third meds waiting in the hallway. They looked at her in a mixture of surprise, amusement and a tad of annoyance. Well, maybe it was their fault, blocking the way. But she sounded so… Lord Voldemort-ish. Ordering her minions in that cold way… She’s like one [...]

The breast clinic was quite… ok. Nothing much except the usual check for lumps. 5 new cancer cases were recorded that morning alone. I know that it’s a common thing, but it still came to me as a shock. Especially when I was with one of the patients when the doctor broke the news to [...]

Got the house
Here’s a bit of update about the whole thing:
- The landlady’s the boss (she’s nice)
- The hubby fumes in the background as the rent went lower and lower.
- His face became redder by the minute but he still managed to laugh & make sarcastic remarks about certain things which I’d rather [...]
