bones are gone, here comes the kids!

Orthopaedics exam was one shocking exam. Not only my examiner changed on that day itself, it was a long long day. I was so tired last night, tried my best to sleep but palpitations keep coming around 5 am tillthe next morning. Just when i was about to fall asleep, calls keep coming in beacuse examiners are not there yet. Luckily, today is my last day as the group leader. gosh. with much relieve. i was so nervous and i'm the last again. ergghh, thats because of the blardy alphabet discrimination! i had this since i was young. i'll always have to sit at the sides of the class for exams, have to do my exam last. Quarantine dring A Levels, and now, IMU. always the same old story arranging us by alphabets!

i shall change my name NOW! i want my name to start with the middle letters like H or L or something! ergh.

anyway, about the examiner. first i got this really scary everyone-sees-everyone-run examiner but he was unable to take us for exams because he has something on. whoa. big relief. then another lecturer was suppose to take us. He is very nice but usually nice lecturers are not so generous in marks. so there goes the tension again but when we found out this morning our examiner has changed to smeone who is well known that he is super nice! lucky us in ward 4B but the exam got delayed. why? because the examiner takes a long time for one person.

so as the last person on the list, i was suppose to end at 12pm but i ended at 2pm!!!!! i was starving, thirsty, tired, frustrated....and lastly....no feelings at all during and after my exam. i was so numb. i dont feel happy/sad/angry/hungry/thirsty....all the hard work during ortho i'm not sure if it is worth it... i hope it pays off...

i was lucky today to get a really nice patient. he was so friendly with me! he and his wife is so sweet! the way they tease each other, the way he compliments her after she left, the way he tells me how thankful he is to have her.... *speechless* not many married man are like that. how sweet... =)

now now now... i'm gonna start with paeds.. everyone seems to like that posting... for me, i'm not to keen because kids are really difficult to handle. more over having them as your patient, extra difficult!!! i have to go and buy some rattles and sugus..hahah...thats the advice i got from my other friends who just ended their paeds posting...

till then....
