bianca ryan




sch has begun.

till today, cheang and i still can't imagine ive started m3 proper. it just seems as if i never had any holidays before... though alexandra's a pretty nice place, and reaching early at 7.30am has its perks (the notsoterrible traffic) it's still pretty much a toil having to travel so far...damned you dean's office why do u post pple to extreme ends of the islands..like how peeps in the north always get posted to the west (nuh and ah) and how peeps in the west aka shaun dannyboy hsienmin and zy get posted to the far east at changi..basket...

well..it hasnt all been a bed of roses though they are many at ah, not so much due to the fact that usually gotta stay till 5pm..and the lack of patients to clerk..i guess thats a good thing in a way, not so many sick pple huh. but its hard on us medical students esp when we gotta clerk and present a long case each when he could be gone tmr...

at least got free parking! and on the first day we got thrown into the OT and i scrubbed up while a certain team (4, i think) got to scrub in at brewerkz for lunch. oh, dang! well at least i got to feel a lipoma, presented it and even SUTUREd his wound up in the OT..talk about being thrown into the deep end on the first day man..haha..2nd day was per rectal straight away, and the 3rd was another per rectal!! only a manny keen on doing her virgin asspokin' did i escape being tagged a "3 PRs done in 3 consec. days". oh, and with the world cup, its been nonstop trying to catch up on sleep.

go les bleus!

oh, and did i mention...just a few days b4 i started e first posting proper, i got thrown into action once again..having to attend to this guy who collapsed and had a fit at borders, and no medical personnel was there to assist!! imagine my stunned look as the security guard looked at me and said 'are u a medical student?' i nodded and proceeded with some simple first aid..luckily he was breathin' and all dun need to do cpr..checked his pulse and confirmed with the guard he called the ambulance...phew~ luckily the paramedics came in time..

talk about passion for the job huh, i hardly have enuff time for my other passions..
