After 1.5 weeks of Student Internship Programme (SIP)


I've learned that:

Professionalism, is leaving your personal life behind once you step into the ward.

Integrity, is doing the correct thing when no one is looking.

Patience, is clerking a rambling/incoherent patient at 3am on call.

Stamina, is surviving the 3-4h morning ward round when you are post-call.

Courage, is admitting that you did something wrong / you are unable to do something.

Humility, is enduring the scolding that comes after.
