Today was the longest clinic i've ever been to, but arguably one of the best one yet. I saw a whole array of oncology patients through that almost 7 hour session (with no breaks whatsoever mind you).
Testicular cancer (undoubtedly the most interesting!), breast cancer, malignant melanoma, bladder cancer, colon cancer, lymphoma, lung cancer both small cell and non small cell, ovarian cancer, mesothelioma... You name it!
I know i'm not supposed to sound happy about this, and i truly sympathize with the patients and their families for their pain. But it was a good clinic and a good day for me and i learned a lot from these people i met through unfortunate circumstances.
Of course, sitting in with the ever enthuasiastic and good natured Dr Donellan was a huge plus as well. So i've got to thank him for making my day. If only all doctors were like him.
Oh that would be an ideal world~
p/s: if i sound linguistically challenged to u, it's because i'm a final med and i neither have the time nor the energy to be eloquent.
p/s: i thought he had forgotten all about me, but i bumped into him in the corridor today and he said hi, did a funny dance involving limbs and weird faces, and made me laugh. Gosh he's adorkable!
