Sometimes I run
Yay, I (unofficially) completed my first clinical posting as a medical student. I feel so accomplished and happy when all the forms are signed off after a long morning at the MDT and clinic. Cancer clinics are really quite depressing, I must insist! Having said that, I sometimes can’t wait to start working. I feel like trying to sell textbooks off and be a graduate. Alright, maybe not to that extent, but I think I tend to run away from realities very often. I just like avoiding circumstances and situations which I find myself uncomfortable in. This 6 weeks have been quite a good time to challenge myself to put myself in uncomfortable situations where I am forced to learn and be more proactive. Taking bloods, talking to patients and just approaching people. I even scrubbed in twice.. holding the retractors and looking at cautherised muscle smelling like bacon is not really fantastic, but seeing a tumour resected is quite something.
As for now.. to gym or not to gym..
