you don't know what medicine is until...

u go on-call!

ok, i may have only gone to an Australian version of being "on-call" but it's bad enough already!!! gah.. especially when you do it after a LONG day (it's common programme day mind you)! and we have ward rounds + case presentation tmr.. thank goodness i was doing it with sean, that made it bearable.

i was tired
i was hungry
i still had to take notes while the reg interviewed the patient (i have no idea what they're talking about sometimes!!!)
it was so depressing
i just wanted to slap the patients silly to wake them up! it's not the end of the world. you don't have to kill yourself ok???!!!! why why why do people want to commit suicide? how about the people around you? ha?

if there's one consolation, the reg was really nice and friendly. and he was nice to let us off early.

even then, it was already 10pm! and i had to take a bus! and guess what? the bus came late, AND it rained!!! great!!! surprise surprise..

welcome to the real world of medicine christine...

GOD!!!! it's really overwhelming.. Only You can see me through this.
