Encouragement


Was examining this patient when this HO was taking blood..

HO: Are you all year 5s?

Me: No, year 4s.

HO: (after pausing a while) M4s? Then what are you all doing here?

Me: Oh, we doing our medicine reposting.

HO: (pauses again, thoughtful) Actually, do you feel bad about it har?

Me: Actually, yea, a bit..

HO: Dun worry la, in the long run it doesn't matter. I have a classmate who also did reposting, but in the end he was the valedictorian for my batch.


Of course I know he is referring to the legendary Tan Chee Hsien, who failed his M3 medicine posting, yet got double distinction for both medicine and surgery, obtaining MBBS Honours in the end.

偶像. There is still hope for me...
