孤军作战


那天出门前老妈这样问我: "自己一个人啊? 没约朋友一起读吗?"

我: "没有."

妈: "和朋友一起读比较好吗..可以互相切磋.."

我: "哦." (Closes door and goes out..)

其实, 老妈, 我不是要一个人读的..是没有人要跟我读...

Haiz.

Low blow


I must say that was a damn low blow.. considering it came from someone I would call "friend". Maybe he meant it as a joke. But it was such a very very bad joke. But it's ok. 我忍.

Emed EOPT was ok. I tot I did reasonably well in the viva and the OSCEs.. just that the mcqs were damn hard. But still should pass overall I guess.

Boliao


You Are 1: The Reformer
You're a responsible person - with a clear sense of right and wrong.

High standards are important to you, and you do everything to meet them.

You are your own worst critic, feeling ashamed if you're not perfect.

You have uncompromising integrity, and people expect you to be fair.

At Your Best: You are hopeful, honest, and inspiring. You bring out the best in humanity.

At Your Worst: You are intolerant, judgmental, and picky.

Your Fixation: Resentment

Your Primary Fear: Being corrupt.

Your Primary Desire: To be good.

Other Number 1's: Al Gore, Martha Stewart, Gandhi, Celene Dion, and Spock from Star Trek.

What Number Are You?

Pls dun call 995 if...


  1. You are stressed.
  2. You got drunk, scratched your nose and caused it to bleed.
Ok, I'm going to bitch. Allow me to illustrate a case...

20+ year old male, epistaxis, activated emergency medical service at 4am. On arrival, patient alert, well and sitting up. Alcohol breath and slurred speech noted. Erythema on nose bridge and dried blood on fingers. Defensive when asked about history and asked to see the discharge. Unable to show us the discharge. Claims bleeding torrentially just now, from one nostril. On further questioning, unwillingly revealed that he had scratched his nose. Refused gauze to clean up blood. Refused stretcher. Claims he has history of HTN. Kept asking BP. Told that BP is normal. Asked again on ambulance. Told that BP is normal. Asked again in A&E. Told that BP is normal. Bloody rude to us. Bloody rude to staff nurse at TTSH A&E.

Seriously. At 4am in the morning, u dunno to be amused or pissed off.

Another not so eventful ambulance run.. The most exciting thing that I did was probably to set a plug on an elderly man with coffee grounds hematemesis at 80km/h..

感动


Dr Noel Tay actually called to ask if I'm ok... waa.. I'm damn touched.. He told me it was ok and it was really not my fault, and just be more daring next time.. but I didn't have the heart to tell him that I had the guts to say that I couldn't elicit any signs at all..

But that was one times good morale boost.. inotropic to the heart..

"So that we can learn to pick ourselves up"


I guess the hardest part is to take in the look of bewilderment on ppl's face, the surprise in their voices when I told them I failed. Especially today when yikang shouted across the canteen asking me how I did. I could almost hear the collective gasp when I shouted back that I failed. I think that was damn steel-ish of me. Give myself a pat on the back. Maybe now ppl will take me seriously when I say I screwed up when screwed up...

Haiz. As I said few posts b4. This is all too familiar... Living up to expectations. Internal and external. The feeling of 对不起自己. 对不起 my tutors. Having nothing else to blame expect myself.

But when it was all over, I was stronger than before. And when this is over, I shall be stronger still. I shall I shall I shall. BE STRONG. FIRE AND STEEEEL. Wait for the REEEBOUND. RARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Really appreciate my frens.. hu didn't ask much, and just kept me laffing the whole day with the usual crap. 还是哥儿们最棒.. haha.. and thanks to those who bothered to drop me msgs.. really really appreciate it..=)

"Why do we fall?"


I failed gen med.

It was expected and I feel fully deserving of the score that I have received. Yet it still hurts. Quite a bit.
