Scrubs*
This is one of the less gory picture i can find of the OT. I like this photo, cos it reminds me so much abt my day :)
Much has been happening lately and today's OT experience added on to what i call a dramatic end to my holidays. For the past wk, i found myself in many occasions sandwiched btwn time spent catching up with friends which i felt happy and time spent grieving for the lost of a loved one. It was sometimes confusing having to switch between the 2 modes!
Anyway, thanks to my mentor, my friends and i had the opportunities to gain some insights to the life of a general surgeon. I used to think surgery is not my cup of tea, cos i value patient interaction a lot, but i guess it doesnt harm to keep options open :)
Today is a special day cos i was given the opportunity to learn and do some stitching. No doubt i was stunned when the surgeon passed me the instruments but i'm glad that the senior doctors are so willing to teach.
I'm so grateful that time and time again, i have been assured that i have not made the wrong choice to study medicine. Hopefully Med school will equip me sufficiently to let me be on my way to become a good doctor:)
