Saya budak baru belajar... kalau salah, tolong tunjukkan!
1) Hari Raya is coming soon, and by then, houseman Foo will be on call every other day. Let's pray for me and the people of the district of Larut Matang Selama that there will be no broken bones and laceration wounds during the festive break, that people will be careful and not take their bones, nerves, skin and their lives for granted.
2) I got my paycheque yesterday. It feels good. Really. Makes me think too that when I am called to attend to a patient, I should do it properly as I am paid to do it, no longer a student who is learning from him with no strings attached.
3) After a depressing week, when my last call, I made a substantially major boo-boo that can trigger a chain of medico-legal problems, someone told me that I am doing a good job. It feels good and is encouraging, and keeps me going during those long hours in operation theatre, wearing the lead jacket and nicely scrubbed in, holding and pulling bones and skin, and risked getting yelled at.
4) Houseman Foo is regaining his weight due to less on-call days and more time to devour the cheap Taiping food. Yummy fatty!!!
It is tough, but there are ample satisfying moments to keep us going. Feels good to participate in Malaysian public healthcare, rather than just stand and watch during those student times.
The details about houseman life, I'll keep it to myself, especially the nasty and lousy ones.
