I’ve been busy lately, which explains why I’ve not been blogging much.
I’m currently attached to a general practice clinic. Basically one of those ubiquitous clinics run by medical practitioners you commonly see. General practice focuses on primary health care. The environment and management of diseases are completely different from those in the hospital.
Well, I find my attachment a tad too boring. Not many patients. I did come across patients with rhonchi (wheezes) in the lungs and had the chance to advise an extremely obese chap whose weight exceeded 125 kg on diet control and exercise. Yet, the excitement I’m experiencing is much less in comparison to that in medicine posting. Besides, of the doctors at the clinic is a racist. And I’ve been victimized for the past one week. Racism is ugly and scary, don’t you think so?
Apart from that, I’ve been feeling very dumb of late, principally because of laziness. I’ve been slacking off. I seem to have lost the diligent and industrious part of me in the pre-clinical years. Still in the CNY mood, perhaps.
Tiredness didn’t stop me from meeting AZ a few days back. An adorable and chatty young pilot. He happened to be in KK for work purposes. We decided to meet for the first time. I initially enlisted his help in getting the contact number of a hot air-steward I saw on a flight last November. Befriending the hot air-steward (probably gay) now seems to be a fantasy that’ll not materialize. Yet, AZ and I have become friends instead. Heh.
Thanks for the lunch and coffee, mate. Look forward to seeing you again.
What did the racist doctor do?
ReplyDeleteWe're all still in a CNY mood lah - don't worry bout jumping back into work so fast. :D
What race was that racist doc anyway?
ReplyDeleteYou went back to KK, that means no dota for you for a long time? Ouch!
spelling error..hehe..
ReplyDeletethose pramugara are reallt tempting. :P
ReplyDeletei saw cute ones on maswings..
lol... maybe AZ is the one?
ReplyDeletehey joe....it's been such a long time since you wrote an entry....
ReplyDeleteyou're in your 4th year right?
haven't gone to proper rotations before, but many of my friends seem to think that GP's one of the more interesting rotations coz it's kinda an easy-going rotation....[if compared to obs-gynae and paeds la xD]
anyway, racism is ugly......very ugly....
and you can't escape it tau....even here in Dublin, there are those a*holes...
p/s: next time, just brace up the courage to ask them yourself *wink* i mean, almost 99.9% of male flight attendants [any airlines] are gay anyway, so there are only the slim chances that you'd get a slap in the face for asking a straight guy his number....
eh di.. dun be so hamsap kay.. lol.. what you did to the doctor to make him racist to you?
ReplyDeleteHot stewards :) Great dream to have a mile high but it's not as great in practice.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your GP posting. IT's one of the most relaxed :) Time to work up on your PR skills in the clinic.
racism is everywhere...and part of growing up is to know how to handle it with grace & poise~ =)
