Nightmare

I have this terrible vision of myself as a house officer, bungling up on the first day of work. I forget patient's names, stare for ages at the HIDs trying to make sense of the past history, and forget everything the patient said in his history.
This is a preventable situation.
I don't necessarily have to be perfect the first time I do things.
But I am well and truly stressed.
It's a big bad world out there.
I take a deep breath.
And pray. That I survive the deep end of the pool.

I pray that all goes well.
Amen.

If electives were the best time of my life...

... it means that life won't get any better.

The NNI posting ended with 2 boxes of smarties and an honourable mention at last place in the inaugural NNI eopt quiz.
I will console myself with the thought that I helped my team gain a single point in the contest: by getting 2 questions wrong (-2 each) and getting one correct (+5).
But I failed to answer when it mattered most - the tie breaker.
(Why on earth was there a tie-breaker for last place? I do not know)

But certainly, excluding the very last day, I thoroughly enjoyed this posting.
Maybe because the posting revived my long-forgotten neuroscience knowledge and forced me to acquire more knowledge.
Maybe because the posting encouraged me to blog my longest post in a long time.

I wonder what posting I'm doing now?

End of Neuro Posting

I think I enjoyed my NNI elective the most so far because every elective seems to get better.
I will still be in Singapore in May, that may be a blessing because at least I'll get to vote.
As for my holidays in June, there are no plans for any electives or travelling yet.
I think procrastination will probably not get me very far, but perhaps I might be happier relaxing in Sunny Old Singapore as a compromise.
Anyway, home is where the heart resides.
