....it's quite a different story altogether, as opposed to my previous 6-week stint in RMH, juggling Neurology, Ophthalmology and ENT (aka Block 2).
For starters, Block 5's timetables are not as packed as Block 2's, which is a really GOOD thing for an inexperienced, slow-learner like me! XD I found (much to my relief and delight) that I could reflect on things I've seen at the end of each day, without having to stress too much on what I need to accomplish the following day. I could also take a breather from time to time, and that is definitely a bonus! =)
In addition, I am now posted to Western Hospital (WH), and there will I remain till the end of 2007. It may be smaller and perhaps not as busy as RMH, but the atmosphere is nevertheless a nice change.
The bad bit of being at a hospital in Footscray? I gotta wake up between 6.00-6.15am on weekdays. Not gonna complain about it anyway, since a colleague of mine has been waking up at 5.45am since DAY ONE (of clinical school). =P
More updates later.
