I admit, surgical rotations have never been my forte. This is partially due to my general "disinterest" in anything surgically-related. Henceforth, the clinical block I'm currently undertaking shall prove to be challenging for me, not only because it is surgically-oriented in many aspects (we have Orthopaedics, Perioperative Medicine and Plastics this term), but also because this rotation deals with subjects that we barely cover back in preclinicals (Dermatology, Anaesthesiology, *Rheumatology). [*A few key topics in Rheumatology were dealt with adequately during preclinicals though. Topics covered then include OA, RA and gout!] I am looking forward to a great rotation, nevertheless.
