week 8!

I’m aware that most of you must be super bored with my weekly updates but I just have to update something here!

Last week was my first week of medical ward rotation, and at the end of last week, I was tired and wondering if clinical was really what I want to do. And then this week happened. And I know for sure clinical is my thing. I was working the PM shift yesterday, which meant that I need to only come it at 2.30 and work till 9pm. But if I did that, I would miss out on my ward round. After spending the entire week being actively engaged in managing 20+ patients in the ward, I felt sad, (yes, SAD) that I would be leaving the medical ward and would not be able to see how the progress of these patients. So, I went to work at 7.30am yesterday, so that I can complete my own round with the patients, and then followed by the “official” round by the specialist, discuss some cases with my preceptor, clerk cases, and before you know it, it was 2.30pm and I just continued my day at OPD.

Yea, it was kinda exhausting for me, but I did it voluntarily. Some even thought that I came early because I forgot my timetable. :P

Next week, I’ll be at critical care wards, so I’m looking forward to a bunch of new patients which I will be helping to manage.

Truth be told, I kinda wanna stay at the medical ward, because there are some patients which I’ve managed in some aspects and haven’t been discharged yet, and I want to see how they progress, but it’s ok, I’ll visit that ward during my free time. And yes, I *heart* clincals. I may not be super excellent at it yet, but that is why I’m currently attached there, to further better and deepen my clinical knowledge. My only wish is that I can spend longer than the time allocated for me in the ward rotation. :(

I also completed 2/5 presentations this week, before I go off for my Deepavali break, I would have completed 4/5. Suddenly time passes by so fast! :( That’s all I have to update for this week! :)
