Introduction

After much thought and encouragement from friends, I decided to set up a new blog to purely document various happenings of my life in the hospital.

It is a regret that I have only decided to do this after I have graduated from medical school, and will be finishing my Housemanship in less than 2 weeks' time. Throughout my years in medical school and my year as a Houseman, there were many unforgettable memories, many of which I still remember very clearly, but have not documented faithfully into my own personal blog.

Being a doctor has been my childhood ambition, and I love falling ill when I was a little girl, as it gave me the excuse to see a doctor. I would then entertain myself by admiring the white coat, stethoscope, syringes, colourful pills and xrays. Medical playsets were my favourite toys. When my aunt was a medical student, I would often go to her room to mess around with the skull model (it was a real one!) in her room, enjoy letting her examine me with her various fanciful medical equipment, and amaze myself with the colourful photos in her medical books.

To me, doing Medicine is fascinating. And I often asked myself when I was young what life is like being a medical student/doctor. The typical answer I got was "Tough life", but no one had actually spent time telling me what it really is like whenever I asked. I only got the answer when I became a medical student and later a doctor, myself. And I'm still in the midst of discovering further.

I assume there would be many out there who are just as curious as I was before, and hoping to find out more. Hence, this blog is set up for this purpose; to serve as an entertaining (I hope!) read for the curious, and a diary of my days revolved around Medicine.

This blog is open to anyone who is interested, so do feel free to share the link with your friends.

P.S.: Unfortunately, I will not be able to give daily accounts of my days in medical school, but I shall post up an entry giving an overview (but not too brief) of it soon. So stay tuned!
