days since beginning of une have been quite twisting and tiring for me. i did not get to be assigned to periphery or district clinic as i hoped for less hectic and steady working hours, but stayed on in Hospital Taiping, my first training ground for my doctor career, as Medical Officer. the next thing i did was trying to get myself into the department i wanted. after much consideration, i decided i wanted to give surgery a try. i've been very motivated to work during my posting in surgery n there r so much more i want to know n not able to learn in the limited time of posting. however, our director had posted me to Anaesthesiolgy department despite knowing my interest and request. then i decided to start working out interest into this department. who knows? maybe i will like this as well. i have never in this department (they have no house officer in this department)

i started my tagging period to learn the basic skill n train my knowledge in anaes, n after 3 weeks of tagging (every other day from daytime till midnight) my hospital director called up again n asked whether i'm still interested in surgery n she can take me out of anaes anytime n put me in surgery any time i want. i was so shocked n not able to give an immediate answer to her. yes, i'm still interested in switching posting, but then i have to restart my tagging period back from day 1! :P

but within a week, i found out another of my colleague got posted to surgery which was depressing for her. she had already made up her mind that surgical-based work is not for her, n she was very eager in finding a way out from her posting. after days of mind-breaking thinking n talking to friends, i switched posting with her and ended up here in surgery. i finally got what i wanted, but already half-dead from exhaustion. haha...

but working in surgical field made me realized even more that i wanted to work as surgical MO. i enjoyed seeing the apparent difference we made for patient after our management in ward, n i get to like doing simple procedures and operations on patients who need them in order to get well. i like seeing patients get well and go home walking out the door.colleagues and specialist are nice and always look out for each other. work is always hectic but there's so much things i can learn n do. although half-beaten from tagging period now, but i'm looking forward my working days here in surgical department. at least i'll be here for another year. :)
