Posting 来啊来, 去啊去...
Last day of posting with beloved Dr Melvin Leow...
Today, everyone's real focused.. Really enthu and thinking real hard almost every minute...
"Wa.. 3 weeks' break coming.. what should i do?" (Haha.. maybe it's just me..) Followed a new team in the ward today.. think there was a change in roster and got to know a very nice MO. Nice enough to quiz us sometimes and teach a little.. at least he took the trouble to take care of us.. (though he has a bit of the "chronic wrist drop syndrome")
The morning breezed by without Dr Leow who was in clinics. He then met us in the afternoon and had a tutorial... in Starbucks.. his treat. Well, as usual he will give an unusual case scenario that will leave us muddleheaded.. finally said it was a pheo.. (and the patient had a BP of 90/60mmHg.. how to guess it's pheo?!!) Well anyway, this tutorial was real cute i would say, cos we're sitting down listening to him, taking down notes and harzarding guesses while drinking our coffees and he was there telling the story and quizzing us while munching on his muffin... (his lunch.. no wonder he's so slim..)
I'm always lost in time during his tutorials.. it was 1/1/2 hrs before i know it and it was the end.. usual stuff of report submission and gift presentation.. Finally managed to pop the long awaited question of mine.. "Dr.. what are your hobbies?"
He started out with an innocent answer.. "bukit timah nature reserve walks.. i like nature.." then lo and behold as we anticipated but really dared not be sure.. "i also like reading journals and creating hypotheses.." Well just like saying "besides medicine, i'm also into medicine and in my free time, i like to read up on medicine.." no wonder he has power brains..
Well, i'm really filled with awe and admiration for Dr Melvin Leow. Really glad to have had an elective under him though it made me feel stupid most of the time.. but guess it's because i'm not studying enough.. (or maybe i'm picking up the wrong hobbies..) Nevertheless, THANK YOU DR LEOW!
Went to visit Lei after knocking off from TTSH.. now i can testify that people look different when lying down compared to standing up.. i remember being waved at by a patient who was being discharged and he was walking around... I kept thinking "谁来的?!!" Had to think for a minute before knowing he was a patient i was following up for like 2 weeks and he was lying down everytime i saw him.. Now when i found the ward Lei's in, i have to check the nametag on the bed board to make sure it's her.. Hai Jialat leh..
Anyway, she's able to breathe and talk a little after the surgery and even react to Falconz's suanings.. must be pretty alright.. Glad for her.. All her worries for nothing..
Had intended to train after that.. but got "怂恿" by Falconz to donate blood.. (ya kena "怂恿" to donate.. ) So no training tonight.. but nevermind.. i got 3 more weeks..
