done with the eye stuff, starting with the kiddy stuff !!

did my Ophthalmology exam yesterday. the relieve i am feeling now !! times like this i just feel very productive. like 24-hours a day is used up to the max. i really do enjoy the cycle, partly actually the eye is a very interesting organ, a genius creation. and also my teacher is young, pretty and super enthusiastic in teaching.

when i was doing practical with Dr. Kho back in Malaysia he kinda told me that maybe i would wanna choose an easier speciality next time - he meant with lesser night calls and all. since he is an obstetrician and gynaecologist he would know what that really means. and since i was attatched with him for 2 weeks i kinda got the picture too. and he mentioned that speciality like dermatology, opththalmology or ENT would be less hectic than things like cardio, surgery, trauma etc. well - ophthalmology is interesting but i don't know if i want to see so many old women with one eye patch! haha.

btw during the exam i got the most unwanted question - POAG (primary open angle glaucoma). reason because both teacher and lecturer gave different clinical classification. so my tactic was to learn both and depending on who would be my examiner i would tell their classification. but since there were only 4 students on my day sitting for exam, both teachers decided to take students together. alas! but anyway i just said both and they did not find it wrong or anything.

Now - Paediatrics. first lecture was pretty interesting, although in my very opinion only very gifted doctors can be paediatricians, and that's not me. i don't even like healthy kiddos, wud more the sick la!

weather is cold. and i miss home !!
