end of rotations

My rotations finally ended. YIPPEE!
today was the last day and now a whole stretch (4 weeks only..) of holidays
HAVE HAVE to get some studying done if not i'll just faint in semester 5... in between eating, collecting angpows and stuff =)

short summary of how my rotations went...

1. KKB- we were the first batch to go to kkb.on the day we left it was raing cats and dogs....wait make that elephants and whales. and sweet james wanted to send me off and got sick as a result of that. education wise...i did learn a bit. didn't really get to polish my physical examination though. have to work hard on that, its just going to get tougher.got to know a few more friends better, played silly daring games and found out i couldn't handle them well. and altough i always know this... jane and bee ling, both of you mean so much to me...thanks for being honest and telling me things which i need to know but try to ignore.

2. community medicine- my least favourite among the lot. sigh. so very dry and didn't help that the lectures were given by... *ahem* nevermind. its over. had to do a presentation about ethical isues. ethical issues. i know its important and anything can happen in our careers in the future..

3. GP Posting- 4 days (cos of Thaipusum) in a clinic in PJ. the GP is a soft spoken nice nice lady. didn't raise her voice and is so good with her patients. did learn some stuff and saw a couple of interesting patients.

4. BS - breaking bad news. hard, difficult, awkward but it still has to be done.
don't think i did too well. and i got a "mild" SP. =(

5. Patho Lab- made me realize i can't remember 3/4 of what i learnt and i have much to catch up on....

6. CSU (Today)- Breast examination..got picked by the lecturer cos i was the one that was avoiding the most. ack, how embarrasing. history taking was ok though. got pretty good feedback from the 2 simulated patients.

looking forward to chinese new year.
happy chinese new year to everyone. may the year of the rat be a great one =)

*aiya, cannot check spelling...sorry for any mistakes. my spelling is horrible, by the way*
