File, chair and lady
26 October 2006The file on the table was thick and some notes old and yellow, she has been a patient for a long time. She sat in a wheel chair and her husband pushed her in. As she spoke about her pain, you can almost read the hurt on his face.
She had undergone various forms of […]
NO! WAIT!
23 October 2006I don’t want the week to start.
Musculoskeletal posting? I’m not ready for you yet. No, ENT can’t be over yet. And where has the weekend gone? I’m still tired. I need my weekend!
Gosh, where has the past 2 months gone to? I’m already on my third posting and I’ve only got 5 this semester. […]
Goosebumps inducing
16 October 2006I am OK with blood and gore and seriously, I haven’t been affected by anything I see in the theatre, until now.
Those ear-related procedures! Brrrr… *shivers* Whether it’s just poking an otoscope into someone’s ear, or watching the SHO clear our earwax with a suction, or removing those trapped cotton buds, or observing a […]
Cottonbuds…
11 October 2006…are evil things.
说起缘分，我和outpatients还真有缘。昨天在哪儿呆了整个上午，今天被分派到哪儿，呆了老半天，还是同样一间cubicle呢！
The long and short of the story is that I was in the “casualty” cubicle in outpatients again. Surprisingly, the focus of the day wasn’t broken noses, but cottonbuds. (Do people decide when and in what way they want to injure themselves? Or is it just coincidence that you see similar cases on […]
Painful ears, crooked noses and crazy tonsils
10 October 2006First day of ENT posting and I found myself in outpatients with a very nice doc. :) Always good to have a nice doc who’ll pass you the otoscope and ask the patient “is it alright if she has a look in your ear?”… Sometimes I think it’s asked in such a way that the […]
Net’s Up!
3 October 2006Woohoo!!! *grin*
And just when I need to do my presentation too! Perfect timing, don’t you think???
Filler Post: Pictures
1 October 2006Instead of letting my blog rot while I wait for my internet access to be set up, I thought I’ll post some pictures. Well, not many, just 3. But hey, better than nothing right?
Domesticated or not, you decide. This is what Chris, Gowri and I cooked for the seniors. Come on, not bad right??? (say […]
Procrastination will kill me
28 September 2006I’m sure it will.
My case reports are due at noon today, it’s 11.45am and I just got it printed out. I told myself last night that I’ll start working on them on day 1 of my postings next time… but somehow, that seems like a very familiar resolution that I make on the eve of […]
Highly Dependent
23 September 20062 days, 2 weeks and now, end of the month… I think most of us are pretty upset with the accomodation office and their different sets of stories about the state of internet connection in my hall. Long ago, internet connection used to be regarded as a luxury, now, it’s more like a necessity!
I get […]
Missing: YP
21 September 2006I was missing… from the ENT postings list. General surgery posting’s almost ending (2 more weeks) and here I was yesterday, looking up postings for ENT when *gulp* my name was missing!!! Terribly traumatising, kind of feels like you don’t exist… *sob* I’ve since got that sorted out, and unlike the other IMU-ians, I’ll be […]

Net-less Me
12 September 2006Internet access in my room still isn’t sorted out yet. So that sucks. I can’t blog, chat, check emails and forum or look up things. In short, I feel crippled and cut off from the rest of the world. So not helping the homesickness. Bleahz. Geram lah…
Spent the whole of yesterday afternoon in the OT. […]
