This morning, I tried avoiding Dr Peter with vigor, careful to act busy so that he won't drag me into yet another discussion about yet another boring patient. It's not that i'm not interested. I am. No wait, scrap that. I'm not interested, at all (you may scorn if you must).
But alas, interested or otherwise, all my efforts to avoid engaging in meaningless small talk were in vain. As i sat huddled in a corner with my paediatrics textbook, trying to squeeze in every bit of info i can get into my already congested brain, along came (who else?) Dr Peter.
"S0 Izzy, did you go to the eye clinic to follow up on the patient we saw yesterday like i told you to? WHAT? you didn't? Tsk tsk tsk, you're a horrible excuse for a medical student. You'll never make a good doctor. "
Okay, so maybe he didn't actually verbalize those last bits, but i swear from the funny way his face contorted that he desperately wanted to.
I can't help it, i wanted to blurt out.
With everything coming to one big, intense finale (i.e 6hrs of exams this friday), it's rather tough being on my feet and eager and excited about small things like fever, rashes and runny noses. I mean c'mon, get yourself some panadol, drink lots of fluid, sleep for about 10 hours straight and begone already. No, you're not gonna die from a simple flu, and no that rash won't kill you either. Now let me carry on with my already busy life without another hypochondriacal complaint from another neurotic patient please.
Of course, I never got the chance to say that. Fortunately for him, I still had some remnants of sanity left in me.
So, i apologetically told him i had exams coming up, and i needed all the time i had left to study (not go to the hospital to wait on a patient as she gets her eyes checked). He just snorted and said, "Passing exams won't make you a good doctor."
And how will failing exams do that, sir? I almost sneered. Grrrr.
Oh well, that aside, I guess this is what happens when you leave everything to last minute studying. You get moody, and snappy, and horribly temperamental. Plus, you still have tons of revisions to catch up on regardless.
Bummer. =__='

Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now keep it up!
Thank u very much.
I usually just write whatever i feel like writing at any particular point in time. Maybe i should put more thought into my writings from now on, seeing how ppl are actually analyzing them.
Anyway, thank u again. I'll do my best to write more original and creative posts in the future. =)
You have to express more your opinion to attract more readers, because just a video or plain text without any personal approach is not that valuable. But it is just form my point of view
Attract more readers? Hahahaha, on the contrary, my dear watson. I would rather my blog have as few readers as possible. I'm not an attention seeker.
But thanks for the advice. Oh, and you might want to leave a name next time. I consider being anonymous as cowardice on your part. But of course, that's just from my point of view.
