GP happening :) and not so :(

hey ppl...another weekend is here! just couldnt wait for the weekend. have had a really bz week before this. keep asking myself when is weekend comin every single day eversince monday. GP posting isnt tat great after all. why? because i'm just too free! :P and we haf tutorials every morning and it last for 3 hours and even more for 1 topic sometimes. just couldnt stand the boring lecturers keep on mumbling to themselves and we have to put our ears together just to get at least wad he is trying to say. tat's enuff for a day but there's worse to come when i go for the GP attachment in the afternoon. goin there with the enthusiasm that to learn and to see more "interesting" case and learn more but unfortunately i was turned down by the patients!! no onli 1 but one after one. i spent the 1st hour in the staff room doin nothing!!! and all i can see is those simply and common case such as "common" cold (from the name itself u can tell how common it is), regular follow up and continue medication! BoRiNG.. but GP is still a good specialist after all. u get connected to the pts and gain trust from them.

yesterday afternoon, spent an afternoon with the GP again. again, i couldnt see the minor surgery tat was performed on a pt to remove a cyst and spent 30 mins in the consultation room. due to the boredness, i make full use of the things in the consultation room - take my own temperature,BP and weight myself. tot of proving yen wrong by saying me losing weight. but actually i was wrong...lost 6kg instead. :P

on the same day, i met this little gal, who was abused by his dad when she was still a baby. got shaken tremendously. and imagine a baby..her brain is still so tiny and mobile and fragile. because of tat..she got MULTIPLE brain injuries and lesions due to concussion, contusion. wad type of father can be worse than tat. due to those lesions, she develops epilepsy and have episodes EVERY SINGLE SECOND!!! when she was brought into the consultation room by her mum, she was shaking all the time, with both her arms stiff, eyes blinking continuously, mouth open and saliva drooling! and he spinal cord was injured as well, so she couldnt hold up her head and stand herself. how can a father do tat to his own daughter and causing all these prob in the rest of her life? just bcos of his irrational action due to his stress or wadever reason, he ruin the life of a little gal. it's really saddening to see her like tat. but at least she's free from his dad now and his father has been sentenced to jail!

there goes my another day..and wad's comin up next? we will be having integrative week for the comin week. as the name applies, we got to integrate btw the 3 medical schools in dunedin, christchurch and wellington. heard there might be some video conferencing thingy goin on. but not very sure how they run it tho. so hopefully it will be sth easy and not so bz. and the week after tat will be easter holiday! for 1 week. so can relax a lil bit and not to think bout my attachment at this pt of time. yay!.....wad to do today? nothing XD

p/s: congrats for all the pharmacy ppl :) exam is finally over! enjoy the post eos5 happening to the max ya!!! finally u guys are free!
