I know this post is long overdue but fck it.

Guys! I finally graduated medschool!

I’ve lost friends and gained new ones. I’ve learned so many things not only about medicine but also on how to handle my patients, how to approach people in the work place. 

I never considered myself toxic during duties nor was I benign, I’m juuuust right. Well, maybe because I view every 36 hr duty as a another opportunity to learn rather than just another dragging shift.

If there’s one advice I can give to the incoming clinical clerks, it’s this: Be Bold! Don’t be afraid of grabbing every opportunity to hone your skills! If you’re clueless on the procedure then there is no harm in asking! Be it your PGI, resident, consultant or our lovely friend, Google! But of course, be sure to verify your sources when checking stuff from our bff XD As what Dr. Lucman taught us, it’s our luxury to be stupid. So ask away!

Prologue: This won’t be a formal post, and I don’t friggin’ care! What you’re about to witness is me whining about how much I gonna miss my OB-Gyne rotation!!

And so this ends our OB-Gyne rotation. It was fun while it lasted!

I’m gonna miss delivering babies, hearing their cries (and their mother’s!), stitching up episiotomies and perineal lacerations.

I’m gonna miss the nurses who bully me coz it takes too long for me to stitch something up, teasing me that I’m already performing a c-section + BTL.

I’m gonna miss shouting ‘NICUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!’ while clamping, milking and then cutting the cord.

I’m gonna miss the intelligent and quick thinking consultants and residents who never fail to teach us something valuable be it in medical or real-life scenarios.

There’s just something about OB-Gyne that feels so fulfilling!!

I’ll tell you one thing I won’t miss: the carpal tunnel syndrome inducing hx, pe, dr tech, admitting orders, post partum orders, the dinalian progress notes, dispo slips and discharge summaries!

So basically, I wanted to start off this series/thread with something a bit more sophisticated subject matter. But after much thinking, I don’t want this thing to sound a bit forced and unnatural. Hence, this post! :)

Reasons Why I Love My Life #1

One subject that we covered here in MSU-COM is Physical Diagnosis-II (which you can tell, I am now in my sophomore year!) There are 3 meetings all-in-all. In the first one, we discussed all normals and techniques in spotting the abnormals, while remaining was an exposure to your assigned ward (be it Internal Med, Pedia, OBGYN and Surgery.)
