happy birthday to me.

it's v nice of xunyu to remember my birthday's coming and got me a slice of cake for a present as she wont b in s'pore on the birthday.

thnx alot~! have a safe n fruitful trip!

i would say this week at polyclinic was quite an enjoyable experience. the doctors i've met at bukit merah are all v nice and i must say i'm pretty impressed by all the services that are provided at a polyclinic itself.

literally.. taking care of people, from cradle to grave

the DA n immunisation service rotation got me meeting many kids, which was real fun! i realize the thing i missed most abt paeds posting is the kids. haaa i just like to disturb them and my logbk is proof tt even my GP noticed it haa..

i met many other kids this wk, along trains n in shopping malls.. saw this little girl, prob abt a yr old at long john's silver.. her mummy gave her a fry and she went to dip it into the chilli n stuck it into her mouth.. i saw her facial expression which was realli funny n cute.. she started to frown, and then stuck out her tongue in an attempt to get rid of the spicy taste.. her mum realize i was staring n started laughing and i laughed along. then i met a pair of Dads.. 2 prams got pushed onto the mrt and their kids were roughly the same age then they started chatting sharing their experiences and they seemed v happy.. i used to think tt only mummys do tt

domicillary care was q an experience as well.. visiting patients at their home w the nurses who provided home care.. some of they are single men staying in one room flat w no relatives coming to visit.. it's q sad and we get to go into their place, talk to them.. help him prepare one week worth of pills in a pillbox as his vision is deteriorating. we get to see how pple cope, some are really poor and alone, while others fortunately had strong family support. such is life.

today's geri lecture was alot of fun i think.. this doc who came to talk to us was a real funny guy.. all his jokes are not too bad lor.. haha he taught us abt incontience aids and walking aids and other issuses in geriatrics. tut was abit sleep inducing but not too bad too.

i like kids n elderly pple :) but at the same time geriatric patients makes me feel sad sometimes as well... haiz
