Pain & suffering

Everyone in life goes through these episodes. It's just that the intensity for each episode is different. Gosh, whatever im going through today is rather bad (for yc's sake, it's still not as bad as a colono). I've gulped down 5 celebrex in the past 18 hours, and so far it's not helping. Im definitely becoming an NSAID addict soon. Colic, multiple joint pain, eachache... The list goes on. Sometimes i keep asking myself why am i so useless. Am i normal? Or do other people get these aches & pains as well? Maybe not as often as i do, but im sure everyone have their up 's and down's.

Another week of fam med, at least its in a new environment. GP posting, not that boring if i may say so, it's just that there are 2 brothers that are totally different beings from totally different worlds. Dr P is the 'happy go lucky' type, as long as everyone is happy, he is happy. His bro, Dr L on the other hand has a grouch to everyone in the world. He went on and on for hours today telling us about his life working in the government service, about all the dissapointments he faced while in there, all the 'idiot' consultants that he worked with. Come on, we know that life is not a bed of roses, its the survival of the fetus in the real world. If you act so arrogantly and snobbishly, surelah people do not like you where you work, anywhere for that matter. I dont think life is that bad, surely there are good times and also the bad. Why dont you rejoice the good moments, rather than keep complaining about the bad. Take life in a different prespective, see the half cup as full rather than empty. I know it's hard at times when you just feel that you deserve better, but i do believe there's always a reason to why these life events occur.

By the way, I would like to wish my dearest, bestest friend LWK a very Happy 23rd Birthday, girl. Hope that you have a great day with many returns. Thanks for being there when i really need you, and i would like to share this with you.
