When mind doesn't know, the eyes don't see

It is almost 1 week in medicine posting, another 5 weeks to go. The remained half of MBBS life is absolutely busy, hectic, tiring and yet interesting. I guess a time management lesson really into its role now. Many subjects to cover other than morning posting in Melaka GH. I felt very accomplished cuz able to clerk case from patient and made a diagnosis on my own. There's no more language barrier in Malaysia compared when I was in India. Another thing that make me feel glad, patients are willingly to share with us about their life even some of their dirty family secrets esp those elderly patients. They respect us as medical students, as future doctors and most important thing, they trust us. This really helps me a lot in the process of learning medicine and practising medicine. It's only one week and I'm able to imagine and picture how's another two and a half years going to be...I'm ready for it and I'm proud of myself.

Our doctors always tell us doctor's job is to cure sometimes, to relieve often and to comfort always. I agree with that. But doctor should know how to manage himself first before start managing his patients. That's what I always think.
