Empathy

Hello blog, you;ve been dormant for some  time now, no thanks to me.

Anyway, I'm done with paeds, now in orthopaedics. I thought it would be utterly boring...but to be fair its not. there are days where lectures each take 2 hrs(which is horrible, my attention span is super short)..but they managed to get a few lecturers that truly inspire.

And you know what inspires? Its the fact that they go the extra mile, turning down locum to do voluntary work, out of the word "Empathy".

Which is what most doctors lack nowadays. And just looking back, if all the doctors, cut that , even half of the doctors nowadays can do that, can pay a lil more attention to the patient instead of discharging themselves - our standard of care would Definitely improve.

And most politicians dont care. Well, unless they use the government hosptitals, which they have no need to. Private all the way. Notice how the top people are Always(or almost always ) warded at private hospitals? the Beach hospitals(translate to the national language) and other big branches... and hospitals continue to be a place to just "Save" lives but not necessarily increasing level of care and most definitely(in most cases) disregarde the quality of life of the patients.

Apart from that...6 months ady :D haha.

and sem 7 is towards the 2nd part, which is scary/dangerous. means exam coming, must practice, study etc etc etc... God help me that one day I become a doctor that cares, 1 that tries to go the extra mile and one with knowledge, competence and confidence.

Snogurt

Spent yesterday, or a good 1/2 hr or more, searching for this place called "Snogurt". we know its in SS15, and we toured the place for so long...finally when we decided to put of the visit, we found the place. (As usual, so ironic!)

Anyway, my short review of the place:

Its a pretty expensive place, where 100g is RM4.90. I L/1kg is RM49.90, which is like RM50! and they have small and large cups for self service.

Don't be fooled, the "small looking" big cup actually is A lot, ~500g. so u do the math - RM20 or more.

Anyway, there are many many flavours. Don't be caught up by the "all time favourite" etc signs. for me, the only 1 worth trying is the Original Snogurt flavour. and it has alot of water in it - not so ice-cream or frozen yoghurt like.

Some simple pictures later. But for now, is safe to say I won't be going back there is a long time...If I ever want to go back there at all.

Value: 2/5 (It's very expensive...and watery doesn't make it worth it)
Ambiance: 4/5
Taste: 3/5

You

Why is it that sometimes I just feel like the suckiest person on earth, that I'm not worth loving, that all I cause is strife, and that I always try and see people "realistically" - or rather, try and doubt everybody's goodness? The "world", as taught to me, will never take care of me, always is never trustworthy...



Help me remember that You are God of my life, that You hold my life in Your hands, You are my strength, my justice, my vindicator, my provider, my everything. And on days where life just seems so moody and sucky...well help me remember why I live. For You. 

Of little children and exams

Of little children and exams

Exams soon, havn't studied. Little children are adorable...until they cry. Luckily the toy a friend gave me seems to come in really really handy. :)


This week, help me to look to You and be more like You :)

A month later...

Of a long month of hiatus.

Thats what Obstetrics did to me.

Now,I'm 3 weeks to exam,and know nothing. noooooooo....

I realise that people sometimes chase too hard to search for a meaning to life. By shopping, community work etc...




Remind me that I live for You.

Seriously tiring, the business of mothers and children.

Don't take your mothers for granted ok, they really sacrifice the world for you.


Looking forward to a day I can do everything I want to -study, cook, sleep properly, wake up not so early.

hmmmm

Isn't focused, and she noes it. She needs to stop playing the fool, and start.

Which means doing the right stuff. Like taking care of herself, her health, reading more, playing less.

Babies?

One week at obstetrics. The one week solely in the labour room.

My conclusion on labour / bearing down? It may be a beautiful process after, but it certainly is PAINFUL to the utmost. If can, no one would wanna go through the pain.

The "bundle of joy" definitely comes with a heavy price, a heavy sacrifice. 9 months (i even ter-type weeks!) "parasite"-ing in the mother's womb, hours (sometimes days) of trying to push when one is exhausted...


But if you get the "end product" - alive, crying and kicking although quiet ones are cuter!; sometimes coo-ing at you and looking wide eyed at the world...

The childlike innocence.

And the family's joy.


Perhaps it makes everything worth it.
