A friend commented to me yesterday, that I have a very exciting life. Maybe she's right. I have never thought about it that way before. I crave for mundane life sometimes. For calm, for security, for comfort. They say the grass on the other side is always greener. Who knows.
But one of the more exciting things in the past week has been this :
After a long and hard wait - 5 years of toil in Medical school - here it is!
The first step of many many steps, a long long way to go in the medical career's world.
First, you have to get used to nurses calling out - "doctor can you do this for me please"
Then there're the patients "Doctor help I want to go home now!"
Then there're the red tape people like medical council " doctor you have to pay 100 pounds to register"
And there's the Bleep - which was novelty at first, but harrowing when you are on call.
And so on so forth. You come on the ward, and you feel RESPONSIBILITY. No longer care free students.
You are actually the patients first point of contact (acc to my consultant and registrar - who are lovely, lucky me!)
But I am loving my first job. Loving the sisters, nurses, receptionist, physios who are kind and smiley. Loving my team (tho most of them will change in August) Loving QMC and the doctor's mess and the coffee and toast in there. Looking forward to the accomodation and decorating my flat.
I passed my pre-employment test last week. And so, all that is left is awaiting contract. I am already looking forward to annual leave before starting work. haha..
There are many reasons I keep on going, despite the "to do" list still lengthy, the need to pack up my life. Somehow, I am dealing with things slowly. I am sure I will get there. I have a lot of motivation to keep going nowadays. Istanbul, Parents, Graduation, Malaysia (roz and reza's wedding). There's a lot to look forward to.
No to mention, my first ever salary in August!
I've been inaundiated with questions about the more private aspect of my life. Just want to say thanks to those who share my happiness and have been sending their congrats. This month is a new start in many aspects. I am just getting used to my new life. Life is always full of changes. The ability to adapt is the key to survival, or maybe, indeed, a life that's full of happiness. That, I am sure you will agree, is well worth looking forward to and working hard for.
