1. When a chapter ends, another begins
.... I meant my 6-week clinical blocks. =P Finished off psychiatry rotation just last week, and it was surprisingly better than I expected. haha. Guess that's due to my initial "coloured perceptions", after receiving lots of negative/eye-raising/horrying input from peers and family members who did psych before. =P What's most fulfilling for me? - perhaps the fact that the psych teams try their hardest not to sideline medics. Special thanks to the Orygen Youth Mental Health teams (ie: Conrad N., John K., Cathy G., Rick F., Jaco E., Andy T., Jo M., Shalini A., Sam W., Narelle and visiting reg Alberto S.), the Albert Road Clinic (notably Prof. Tiller, Brent R. and reg Michael), the RMH psych unit (Kieran P., Debra C., Liet S. and David K.), and not forgetting the various people I've met at Melbourne Clinic and Sunshine Hospital! It has certainly been a pleasure working with you all!! ^^
2. RAPP, here we come!
To the uninitiated, RAPP = Rehabilitation, Aged Care, Palliative Care and Psychiatry of the Old Age....and this, my friends, is what I'll be doing for the next 6 weeks. heh. Sounds like a heck lot (and meant to be a busy block theoretically) but it's apparently a breezy rotation. =P Just two days into RAPP, and concurrently marvelling at my now rudimentary grasp of med/surgical topics.
Do you still think it's gonna be a "cruisy" block, yuen? =P
3. EOS-10.
Another 6 weeks to go, and gotta cover Emergency Med, ?Rural Health (how to study in the first place???), Psychiatry and RAPP. Not much time left, but still feeling rather sluggish....revision-wise. Heh. Better draw up a checklist of some sort. Pronto.
4. Good news - laryngitis be gone....
I'M GETTING BETTER!!! WHOPEE!!! XD
5. ....and now the "bad" news
Recent bad eating habits, reduced motivation and (even more recent) medications have resulted in me gaining 1-2kg, limp upper arms and an unflattering jellybelly. $^*#%!!!!!
[Note to self: monitor food intake, and recommence sit-ups, push-ups and tricep workouts ASAP ><"]
6. Net overtime
Swt. Just had a look at my timepiece, and behold...it's 11pm already!! Omg omg omg, been spending hours on the Net and haven't done anything proper yet!!! D*mn, I'm signing off first.... later!!!!
