There's not a thing that I would change
11.50 pm. I'm enjoying the solitude in my room. It's easy to imagine that the whole world is asleep and there's only the music and me now (:

Happy birthday my dear
I'm So tireddddddd (in a good way). From a lovely day out with lovely friends to celebrate Winter's 6th birthday. A bit belated, but still a very happy one.
Also, a very nice break from the days at the Tropical Garden Resort hospital, and thinking about starting the lit review for the project, and fractures, and chondrosarcoma, and traction, and classifications..........

Canton pop
Spent my post-call Hari Raya morning and afternoon in bed with food poisoning. Oh the agony. Had to eat my lovely Mcgriddles Macs breakfast at 4pm. I have to admit that I still drank milk with my coffee, just couldn't resist it....
My last day of Ortho at SGH was fun. Scrubbed in for a 30cm (!!) liposarcoma resection in the morning then attended a busy MO clinic before lunch. My role in the surgery was to keep 'Baby Ashley' (the liposarcoma) warm and alive in the towel and to staple the wound. After that I went to a prof's clinic where I got to examine almost every patient. Learnt a lot there as he sees a wide variety of cases with fresh signs and he is a great teacher. But the Ortho tests are hard to do.. it would be useful to have bigger hands and much more strength, i.e. be a guy. Couldn't have tea with CGmate call partner like we usually do before calls as clinic was too useful to leave. So we ended up looking at each other pitifully all night cuz we were starving haha. This was the first call where we didn't want to stay the night as today is a public holiday, and ironically so many cases kept streaming in. Anyhow it was a good night that ended with me doing my first blood culture and at the same time my first success at doing plug-blood. Got blood on my jeans as I was too elated and grinning at my HO, and forgot to put the swab on the patient's hand. Well it was worth it, I was beginning to wonder when I would succeed with plugs but now I think I have got it (:
