Ok.
Termination clinic was interesting, but very emotional. Quite a few mums actually broke down as they were told about the risks and procedures of termination. And woah..so of them are even younger than my brother! It was amazing to see how many young girls actually have children who are old enough to walk too.
I guess the most shitty thing about the session was how the doctor got/asked the mum to see the baby's heart beating via the ultrasound scanning. I mean...if u're adamant about getting rid of it, would u actually wanna confuse yourself all over again after looking at the fetus? I suppose that's how they are trying to put mums off with the termination and go "Hey, I think I shall just give my baby a chance". But come on, to be fair, u wouldn't expect an 18 yr old who is not financially capable to have a child would u? It's gonna be harsh for her and for the poor baby too.
Went to EarlY Pregnancy Asessment Unit this morning, and it was pretty cool. There was a lady who got non-identical twins, and boy was she delighted and shocked. Then, there was another who is trying so hard to conceive, but unfortunately she's got a miscarriage again. And being 39 y.o., u can imagine how pressed for time she is to have a baby.
Good bits abt the hospital here is that the staff are all very friendly. Loads of Indians here, and it's through them I get to see the reason why they are all leaving India for jobs and training in all parts of the world and also get the understand how their medical system is like.
It's really nice and welcoming to have ppl talking to u in hospital, but because I've got bad experiences with Arabs and Indians, I tend to make sure I keep a distance from them despite talking quite a bit. And one of them even asked me "So..do u have friends here to go out with?" and quite insistent of finding out why I want to go back to Cardiff every weekend. It sounds dodgy huh? But I shall just take it that doctors are just trained to be nosy in every detail, so...hehe.
Off to Clinical Governance in a bit. I wonder what's that all abt, but sure does sound boring. But who knows..I might just learn something interesting in there. Sigh, just realised that I learn/concentrate so much better if I'm the only student sitting in or moving around with a doctor.
AND YES! TOMORROW I WILL SEE HIM AGAIN!!!!! Can't wait!
