Zealot

I want to be a surgeon. a master of the ancient skill. and it is all because of them. Our Deans. Dato Kandasamy and Prof Ramesh Jutti, both reknown surgeons, inspire me to the extent i have been rid of all my laziness and slackness.

"if you don’t already know what you want to pursue, you are too late." no sooner had the words passed out of his mouth, it had dug deep into the recesses of my heart, immediately sprouting to form a longing for surgery as my career, and as my passion.

now, i find my eyes lighting up, rather than dulling, when there is a clinical presentation, or even homework to finish. i want to tell the whole world (unfortunately burdening my family) my experiences. i go to ward wanting to know things, and absorbing all i can.

however, there is something else i did learn, reinforced by my deans, but learnt ultimately from God. A heart like His, meaning to know and feel the patients as if His own. and i realise that He made me feel. the pain, the suffering, more importantly, the afterdeath. i feel for my terminal patients, because He wants me to feel. Dato Kanda made sure we at least thought of that. After all, what good is a doctor if he does not care?

there is so much to learn, even though i am in the final year. so much to see, so much to absorb. but at least my passion is directed, and i am moving ahead. can’t wait. there is just so much more!
