Tuesday's Placement
Not too bad, except that I was extremely tired...much much worse than yesterday.
It was a good thing Dr Prem had to go off to do some dunno what stuff in the noon time, and since there was a staff shortage today, his poor busy Clinical Fellow will not be able to spend time with us to give tutorials. So since I was tooooooo tired to do anything more, Sophie and I decided it'll be best for us to shoo off back home to either study or sleep.
And that was what I did. Caught the train with her, and I dozed off straight after lunch for about 4 hrs..sheesh. I got up several times because I was going '15 mins more....10 mins more....' etc etc and before I knew it, it was 5pm!
Was still feeling tired, but had to get some studying done. Went off to revise all about the adrenal glands and steroid hormone-related diseases, as well as calcium metabolism and related diseases too. Feels damn good now cos I learnt something today! I did learn it last year, but forgot most of it already and it's great refreshing my bad bad memory.
Had a quick flip through about Lithium toxicity and about adverse effects on abrupt withdrawal of steroid treatment. Very interesting indeed *nods head*
Hmm..I'm actually kinda surprised at how awake I was when I was on the ward rounds. Felt like as if I had some energy boost during the morning. I was still sleepy when I reached the hospital, and was almost gonna KO anytime once Dr Prem left. Is that due to motivation? Anyway, I did learn quite a lot on the ward rounds today, and it's great to know that there are quite a number of cardiac cases in the wards. I'm gonna make sure I take 2 histories at least tomorrow from those patients. Will be good to practise CVS examination on them. :)
Plus, because the Yr 3 Medics are in for lectures tmr, Sophie and I won't have to worry about people "snatching" patients from us to take histories from! And also..there's lunch-time teaching about Endocarditis by Dr Basu tmr too. Yay!!! Hope it'll be interesting, and because it's lunch-time teaching, there'll be free food!!! I wonder what the drug reps will bring in for our lunch tmr....hehe....it better be good.. :)
Am so glad that I'm all done for the day before midnight. Shall go to bed after this, and hope I'l wake up feeling fresh. Can wake up slightly later tmr cos I'm getting a lift from Sophie...oh boy..she's nice manz...can't believe that she actually offered to pick me up from my place (Sophie lives like 45 mins walk away from my place) and send me back after placement for the next following weeks. I really owe her one manz.
