Clinical school

2nd week of surgery posting...

Not as bad as I initially expected it to be.
The lecturers are not as fierce as what I expected, except for one particular lecturer ;)
Clerking patients daily, case presentations, Task based learning sessions, clinical skills unit sessions, endosccopy and outpatient department sessions, the night on call sessions.....so far so good....

The only worry I have is....I don't know much! Everyone else seems to know so much, I feel a bit inadequate...not being able to answer questions and explain stuff.... And I can't bring myself to be as enthusiastic as some colleagues of mine. Some people are just so enthusiastic about clinical years!

Latest update

I'm in the middle of orientation week. Never knew that sitting the entire day in a lecture theatre can be that tiring!
From next week onwards, it would be totally different. We are now expected to be 'hospital furniture', not 'library furniture'. We will be making the transition from mugging books to mugging patients, from medical students to student doctors.

I'm currently in William's house using his computer. Li Cin is outside watching TV....she just logged off and then I logged on. We're stranded in William's place, as our 2 other housemates Fang Han and Yee Wei went to play Futsal, but we're just too tired to go support :p

I'm still trying to adapt to life in Seremban and life in clinical school. This week is still orientation week, so we're still trying to have as much fun as possible, going out 'makan' as a batch, visiting others houses, etc. before the actual thing starts next week.

I'm still trying to master the skill of driving in Seremban. Not confident enough yet.

We still do not have internet connection at our place!
