Clinicians vs academicians

It was only not long ago that i started to appreciate the work of clinicians. All the sessions with them, in the end of the day, it all boils down to 'how u think'. That simple! Had 2 rather intuiging session today, procrastinating through this morning's.

Was having a discussion session about ectopic pregnancies and all, when i came out with this 'enlightening idea'. I actualy blurted out:

'Can we take the fertilised egg from the tubes and implant it into the uterus?'

The respond given... 'where did you hear that story from?'

'Aaaaa, it was just an idea...'

'Common, im sure you heard it from somewhere before. I never knew that 'this news' was ever exposed to public before.'

She then told us the entire story whatever that happened in the medical field, that it was proven that it was 'imagined', and that his mind was of a madman.

A. turned to me and said 'OMG, you have a mind of ...'

'This is the result of LACK OF SLEEP!' I need to sleep, BADLY...

I shall not repeat myself but i can't help it, that I DO HATE O&G. It's just that i don't enjoy this posting a bit. I feel that it is a waste of time to 'go & stone' so early in the morning. I do not mind if i have something productive to do, but then... WHAT THE HELL DO WE DO THERE other than STAND at the bedside STONING? It's rude to stand in front of a patient for so long not talking to her, it's rude to sit the the specially allocated sofa's in the wards, it's rude to sit on the patient's chair next to her bed not talking to her, it's rude to 'hog' the nurse station or pantry... So, WHERE THE HELL are we supposed to be? Theoretically, OUT OF EVERYONE's WAY!

At times, i just do not get the system of wasting time. It goes on EVERY SINGLE MORNING. At least the late morning and afternoon sessions are rather beneficial. Today, we learnt how to put the pieces of a complex puzzle together, ensuring that there is a myriad possibilities to a achieve a diagnosis, and that medicine was NOT THAT STRAIGHTFOWARD at times after all.

A sigh of relief that it's finally friday tomorrow, AND IM GOING HOME! Superly duperly YAY! I need the break. Still half way through my 2nd portfolio, which the datelines happens to be delayed till monday. I've got all the info i need, im just so so lazy right now to put it into words. Gosh, it's 0422 and my cravings for hot milo and mamak goreng starts right now...

@ 0423, 30052008, end of the month... So soon???
