Life So Far

I think it's time I start writing again. Seriously. Because one day I'll regret it.  One day, I will want to look back at my life, and there's nothing like a good old journal (or a blog, of course) to take you back.


Besides, my creativity is getting sapped out of me. I need an outlet.


So first things first, I've been a PGI (Post-graduate Intern) for one month now. And yes, there's this horribly big gap between my last remotely medical-related post and this one and I don't think a single write-up can fill that gap.


Basically, there was the suspense of graduating, the rush to get cleared (which entails hunting down residents, hospital hopping, extension duties, and waiting patiently in various clinics) and all the parties and roadtrips in between. 

One day, when I'm not feeling too lazy, I will have to write about those crazy wonderful days. But for now, all I can say is that April was crazy wonderful. (Yes, I did warn you that my fountain of creativity is experiencing a dry spell. So crazy wonderful it is!)


I mentioned that I'm a PGI now. So far, it's been fun. And educational, of course. I'm currently rotating in Internal Medicine. I've got five more weeks to go and seriously, it's not enough! There is just so much to learn and I know SO LITTLE and I'm feeling panicky because I've got an MD attached to my name and at this point in time, I cannot afford to be clueless.


I have no regrets with applying in PSH. Except for the fact that for the first few weeks, I was lost 90% of the time (the wards are complicated mazes with unexpected turns and stairways which end up in a solid walls), I have no complaints. From the moment we had our orientation, I had that sense of being in the right place. (More on this later!)


So that's all for now, I guess. 

I leave you with a picture of the ER on a mild, non-toxic day.
