The lazy bone has struck once again. And it is stronger than ever! I'm currently in my 4th week of paediatric posting now, and I'm taking things oh-so-easily! Help me! I'm predicting I'd start freaking out by, like right now. I am actually freaking out, but there's just no push/motivation to study. Now where's my motivation?
On a lighter note, I'm totally enjoying my paediatrics posting. When I came into med school, I actually set my sight on becoming a paediatrician. I was like, when I specialise later, I'd definitely be choosing paediatrics. Over the course, I kind of lost sight of this, due to many many factors. For example, totally falling in love with surgery in my 3rd year (not that I'm the best in this field). It totally fascinated me. Then there was also talks about how you'd have to be superbly strong in order to enter paeds. We're dealing with sick and fragile children, not the hoo-haa running here and there children (although you do see them once in awhile). Some children when you see them, you just want to put your arms around and hug them. They're so young, yet so strong! Their fighting strengths are just admirable.
Hopefully this will be my source of motivation to study harder, build up my knowledge in order to help them. Now that's another way of looking at it. Lazy bone, please leave me, I desperately need to get things done ASAP! As for paeds or no paeds, let's leave it to the future.
Oh yea, I didn't mention about how I'm like playing so much of tennis recently have I. I'm getting like superbly involved in the sports. I was thinking, final year, to hell with it I'm gonna represent UMS at least once. (Not that I'm THAT loyal to the Uni; it's more of scraping of another item on my to-do-list). So cross fingers and wish me luck this weekend. The bigger tourney is coming up soon. Will talk about it next time. Till the next post!
