After toiling for 5 years on medical school, i've made it through ALIVE!!! It's the end of medical school, welcome to the real world. Before i realized it, im going out there to 'heal' people. HAH, i can't even solve my own problems, how on earth am i going to solve others? It's something really hard to believe, but, that's going to be my life from now on.
Guess what? I finally fulfilled my childhood dream... Yes, to become a doctor. It has been my 'ambition' since young, year after year, whenever the school required us to fill up the yellow card, 'doctor' was definitely one of my 3 choices. Then, would come things like engineer, pilot, air-stewardess, teacher...the list goes on. Back then, i never ever imagined that it would come true, and till now, i still can't believe myself.
No matter what, i am STILL MYSELF. I've always wondered how doctors lead a normal, mundane life outside from their workplace. How they'd dress while going out with their family, how they'd behave themselves, how they'd just be themselves. Now, i sort of get it. Nothing has changed overnight. Im still the usual, t-shirt, short with slippers, shopping for groceries with mum, being my bro's chauffeur kindda person. It's just how others would address a person formally, other than that, nothing is different. We are still the same souls that roam this planet! Can't we be treated just like everybody else? We are human too, not god, still do make mistakes. I'll never forget a professor once mentioned before, 'a good doctor dosen't mean that that person has above average IQ, as many of us in this profession has below normal IQ's. It's a person with common sense that makes a good doctor'.
Signing up for this profession comes with it's consequences. Being the 'first' person with a MBBS in the family is an even greater liability. I've yet to go out and meet my relatives. Honestly, I AM PETRIFIED. Even my dad starts asking questions these days, when he never ever bothered to ask before. And mum especially expects that detailed explanations for everything that she asks, whether she understands or not is besides the point, as long as you tell her...
Now, i am aimless, jobless, cashless, with everything that ends with a ...less! I've to go and get a job by end of this month, decide what i really want to do with my life, start being financially independent, earning the 'green notes'. I guess that i'll not have a 2 to 3 month holiday like everyone else, who are currently waiting to be 'summoned' to the government service. Nevertheless, till the convocation end of this month, i shall be spending my days by chauffering various people, from bro to granny. This would keep me occupied for the next 2 weeks...
