yawns YAWNS sleepy.
10:55 PM i think i overslept for the past 2 days, okays, a v sinful thing to do, but i think i did. i feel tired despite sleeping many many many hours. and i just sleep more and more after that. doesnt really sound coherent to be speaking like that too. i need to sleep properly, i.e. proper hours and proper sleep. okays. that aside, i must say that we havent been doing much in clinics, pretty much floating around at our own time own target, self convinced that we're doing something right. so, not quite right already. but i guess, over time, we do see the human touch to medicine. the side of this science that the textbook can never quite show us. (cliche as this sounds, it's true). there's always many ways to put this across, some patients feel that why did i have to go through this, is this some test that god has given me, whereas some will feel that it's god's love that i managed to pull through illnesses time and again, and some almighty up there has been taking care of me all these while i was sick. and you actually hear pple telling you how their lives were, how they have been. i guess we always knew that that side of medicine existed, but we never really bothered, just mug your ass off and you're fine for pros. and i guess csfc is really the time when all these matters (whether you wanna pass csfc or not, it still does, you need it to pass anw). i guess sometimes, history taking is really dry and boring and repetitive if that's all you've been doing for a week or so, but sometimes, maybe it's time to put your pen down and stop furiously scribbling down how many years this guy there has been having hypertension for and what meds is he on to take care of it. just lend him a listening ear, he might have more to say about himself than hypertension. but oh well, at times, we really just wanna clerk our patients and get ourselves going and doing other stuff than really to listen properly and not just fish out 'useful' info. that's kind of the way it goes sometimes. |
