Way to go

Preparing for the examination was lonely.

This week I am having a totally different life from two weeks ago, when I was wandering in the obstetric wards to look for interesting cases. There was no formal scheduled activities apart from studying, and since this is the only task that I have to do, it is very painful to realize that I had no other things to do.

Revision not only revise what we have learnt, but also reviewing the life we have gone through. "Time flies so quickly this year." This is the comment I have been saying since Form 6, but time flies even quicker when time flies. The life in the University campus was just two years, hundred and something weeks ago, however, the memories I had in university was stored somewhere near the secondary life.

Life in this year was fine, and the Psychiatry and Family medicine module allowed me to have a better quality of life. Paediatrics was harsh I have to say, workload was as heavy as the pile of notes we have to study. Obstetrics and Gynaecology was troublesome as we have to complete the stamp collection sheet, but I did enjoy my experience in the Labour Ward and the time I shared with my colleagues.

Especially after the Obs and Gyn module, I was pretty sure that I will be a doctor in the hospital and working in the wards, rather than being an autistic technician with a medical degree and hide myself in the laboratories. I enjoy the feeling of walking together. The world is ugly and the reality is harsh. I am prepared to see selfish colleagues who would certainly dump you down the way and see how you suffer, however, I would be much more happier and forget those who had made me sad when I had good colleagues.

Thanks to the doctor and nurses in the Obs & Gyn department, no matter they are experienced or inexperienced, qualified or not. Being one of the team in the wards is good. Although that was only a few days in the year, that had already made me unforgettable. Yes there was time that I was treated brutally just like what I had in other departments, the way we share our time made me moved.

The doctors and midwives who have taught me, my partner who has learnt with me, and my dear friend who listened to me as a student (for two days and helped my revision!), may I pay my wordless gratitude to you all.

Thanks.

Preparing for examination is no longer lonely, when I have these warm memories.
