how are you today?

Lack of sleep can make mind goes crazy.

This morning I had to jump off bed at 7.30am to catch the 9am bedside teaching. Nowadays my sleep has not been terribly well. Early morning 6am sun is happily up. By 7am, it can be as bright as 12pm back home already. damn crazy.

So this post is indeed nothing more than a normal day rant. how contradicting i am right? just yesterday i mentioned not going to grumble anymore, but haiyah, wateva lah. too exhausted d.

We had the LoOOngest bedside teaching today, 9am to 2pm. where got so hardworking punya tutor wan. Each person do one history taking, one clinical examination on 2 different patients, 3 of us in the group so in total we had 6 patients encounter in a roll. faint.

first aunty was alright, she's chatty and bubbly. so that's ok.

second aunty was very obese and difficult to examine. not like trying to discriminate. but how to roll her and make sure she dont fall out from the bed la, then hwo to check for abdomen mass when my fingers cannot even press all the way down to penetrate the fats. so that was a bit of hassle.

oh ya, did i introduce before my cute GI surgeon tutor? err, not exactly the cutey sweetie looking type la. he's from Jamaica. Very tall, very thin, look very intelligent yet humble. haha. good motivation to go teachings.

although tutor good looking, sometimes sleepiness can surpass eveyrthing. really too tired to focus. of course la, like who can focus for 5 hours session non stop?? only crazy surgeons have this kind of mental strength.

Tutorial finished, missed free bus also. sienz~~ Matt and I went to clinical skills center and started practicing blood taking and cannulation just to waste some times. then mana tau, do, do, do, missed another free bus. fyi, free buses come every 40 minutes. so, arghhhh!!! another 40 minutes to go. what to do? do other stuffs lor.

such as back side examination on dummy. dun imagine that, yes, it is what you are thinking, put a finger into anus and feel for stuffs. thats waht doctors need to do. actually... quite geli also lor.

then... finally, home noW! on the free bus, Matt being an all time A student, was talking about specialties he wants to go into in the future. GP? Elderly Medicine? Cardio? Surgical?

being extremely exhausted, I uttered...

'i'm not thinking that far. i only want a bed, a duvet and a bowl of warm soup.'

okay, that's enough for today. lala-land time. Night, world!~
