aiyoh...a'mah and bin ah...my story havent end lah...

and oo, ure welcome! thought u didn receive my sms...haha.

OKAY. to continue my wonderfully exciting sabbatical,

wednesday: so as i was saying, i settled in D clinic, the colorectal dept.

thursday: i helped in a PROCEDURE!!! as in. the doctor was removing piles via ligation(tying of the piles) from some patient's butt. not enough hands, so he got me to help. he thought i was a TEMP/NEW STAFF!! ahahaha. gave him quite a bit of a shock when i told him i'm a student volunteer. but anyway, i got to watch the procedure! quite interesting, though a bit erxin. its just that the circular dilator opened such a huge hole in the patient's butt it looked gross.

friday, monday, tuesday: clinical work.

wednesday-friday: assisting doctors in the room. real cool. i watched every procedure, every check up being done...some are mammogram follow ups, some are piles, ligation, seroma aspiration...very very interesting. its real good exposure. some doctors damn pro. some are just...mediocre. wun say unpro, cos they sure must have their own reason for doing what they do. so...just mediocre. learnt quite a lot, because 1) i have my chem textbook, 2) there are toms of pamphlets in the doc's room. read every pamphlet there is. HAHA! the nurses all very nice....huey mee, jessie, nisha, mani, leong, doris, pauline, aneetha, azma, siti, rose, wendy, eunice, thank you so much for the love, care and concern u guys have showered upon me. thank you for being so patient and friendly with me, even when i made mistakes. i will always rmb u all(: to safarina, thanks so much for being my friend in the past two days. u were great! all the best in ur new hospital/attachment. gambatte!(: to Dr ooi boon swee, prof wong, Dr brian goh, Dr mark katory, thanks for having me as ur assistant. i must be the klutziest assistant around! and the most blur too. haha. esp to Dr ooi, thanks for being so cheerful and for the occasional humourous lines that brightened up my day(:

besides the envi science sabbatical, this is the best sabbatical i ever attended. i'm now more exposed to society, work politics, etc etc. so its reallie good. hahaha. helped me pass time too(:
