life of a medical student

this will be my last few days of anaesthesiology and ophthalmology. honestly, im quite sad to leave the blocks. Though i have to admit, anaesth does give me headache and boredom, but in the end, i manage to get the glimpse of a role of anaesthesiologist in the medical field. however, this does not really motivate me to be one. somehow, i am always lost in anaesth class. it's either that i get sleepy easily or perhaps the lecturer itself is enough to sedate me deeply. other reason that can be my excuse is that i do not find any useful books around to help me with the revision.

on the brighter side of the block, i think i am now more interested to be an ophthalmologist. most of the cases can be quite straight forward and this field requires you to be handy and good with instruments; it's my kinda thing. furthermore, who in this world does not care bout the vision? take a look around, and im sure almost 1 in 5 women are actually contact lens wearer and having eyesight problem. in addition to that, the number of diabetic and hypertensive patients are also on the rise. im sure ophthalmologist can be quite of a demand in the future.

well anyway, im supposed to be studying tonight. my case presentation is tomorrow and this will be followed by physical examination. somehow, i do not really have a good feeling on that latter part. history wise, it has been known that OSCE and Hanani do not really blend in well with each other. i am also pressurised with the fact that i do not want to disappoint the lecturer whom i think has quite a high hope on me. BLEARGH.

i guess i should stop now. it's already 9.45pm. i need to prepare for my case very well and perhaps practising physical examination on my Homer. =)

WISH ME LUCK PEOPLE!!
