HOI: September 2014
http://integratedflaughtodynamics.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
3 months had flown by. I thank my instructors for making these 3 months a memorable one. I feel lucky to have made many good friends throughout the course. Who knows, next week I might start missing MOCC already. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

HOI: October 2014
http://integratedflaughtodynamics.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
It has been 4 weeks since I graduated from MOCC and life is considerably different. Work is of a more clinical and administrative nature, and has its fair share of highs and lows. From time to time I will remind myself of the hardships of MOCC (which on retrospect wasn't that bad after all) and compare it to the life I am leading on a daily basis. Life, for better or worse, is considerably different. In other news my Ipad mini died a few weeks ago. Slightly less portable but comfortable nonetheless.

HOI: May 2015

I had been wanting to read a few books for some time now and I finally got to do so the past few months. Despite the proliferation of electronic books, the reading experience seems compromised when I do it on the tablet or smartphone. Call me old fashioned but somehow reading ink on paper feels more authentic compared to the pixels I see while I am typing. Immediately after the sale, I felt rather guilty. I knew it was unrealistic for me to finish reading this monstrosity. 1 The sheer number of characters.

HOI: April 2014
http://integratedflaughtodynamics.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Suddenly, it is April again. It didn't seem too long ago when I first started working. In actual fact it has only been barely two years). Surprisingly, I have enjoyed the journey so far. I had entered this profession initially with a sense of dread and uncertainty, which till today, hasn't been fully eliminated. For healthcare providers, patients and their families, life can be altered in a matter of minutes. Illness strikes when one leasts expects it. Emergencies can happen any time of the day.

HOI: July 2013

Post night float, I am physically and mentally exhausted. Even forgot to collect my change for breakfast this morning. Fortunately, I was allowed to go post call by my new consultant. The last 14 months has been eventful, by any standard. I am not sure what to expect for the next 3,6,9 months and so on. But every rotation makes me see things from a different perspective. It has been enjoyable though perhaps bittersweet journey thus far. Better start reading up on rheumatology. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Don't hate me for being an idiot. Don't hate me for being an idiot. I dislike being rushed. But the pressures of working life make me very rushed indeed. Sometimes I don't even know what I am doing. Then I turn into a robot. Until 5pm or exit time. I sit down and relax. Do my discharge summaries. Make a date for people. Robots and the mountain of doom. The black rabbit of inle. Except Dogs And Cats. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Dont hate me for being an idiot.

HOI: December 2013

Hong Kong 26 - 30 Nov 2013. My last visit to Hong Kong was 2 years ago. I remember blogging about the trip - if I don't recall wrongly we had spent a considerable amount of time eating and shopping. Not sure why my family chose to go back. But 2 years later we are back for more. Maybe we have an insatiable appetite for eating and shopping. The Hong Kong Skyline taken during a stroll about Victoria Peak. Interesting sign. Also found on Victoria Peak. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Hong Kong 26 - 30 Nov 2013.

HOI: A Guilt Trip
http://integratedflaughtodynamics.blogspot.com/2014/11/a-guilt-trip.html
It started innocently enough. I had found out through the Straits Times that my favourite bookshop had moved. On its grand re-opening weekend I made my way down (post-call even) to sneak a peek at its new premises. All was well until I ran into a crowd of eager patrons swarming throughout the bookshop. I should have turned back and gone home, but my kiasu spirit urged me on. Would it be Roald Dahl's "Ten Short Stories"? Or Yann Martel's "Life of Pi"? Ah, look - there's the "Pocket Prescriber"!
