Tappers

spent e WHOLE morning doing ascitic taps... there were 8 patients to tap altogether... i managed to do 2 successful ones with Mutlu supervising me... n assisted him in e other 6... plus another 2 who needed theirs revised coz they stopped draining fluid halfway (nope! not those tt i tapped! i was good k...haha!).

i think after a while, i was kinda bored with assisting coz everything was very routine. pour iodine into e container, help hold e lignocaine bottle so he can fill his syringe wif it, connect the draining tube to a bag... n it goes on e on for e whole morning. think after a while, u just do n do without even thinking anymore. oh dear... think tt's how things're gonna be like when i'm a HO... hai...

sometimes i get confused with my niche... i always thought i'm a more internal medicine physician as compared to a surgeon... but i think doing procedures n operations is easier than having to think a lot... but after doing e procedure too many times, i get bored wif it... so how huh? i think i better start some serious thinking abt my future... n what i really wanna specialize in... dunno why a sudden urge to actually...

hehe must be my influence. but i think it's still nicer to keep our options open... helps to play down on the disappointment in case the future doesn't turn out according to what we planned... wahhhh i sound so serious. ahemz. must be pms-ing :(

yeah u're right... n so many other factors play a role in e decision. like whether i haf a family, kids, etc... can't really decide until i know tt bit abt my life... wish i can look into some glassball n tell e future...

oh well, maybe e trick is to heck it n go wif my heart when e time comes! but i'm too much of a planner to do tt... haha!
