Like no other.

I was never the smartest in class, nor the most hardworking (nites at trilogy and zouk can attest to that), but i like to think i was passionate as a student.
passionate about this life. passionate about surgery. people warned me that working as a doctor will completely change all that "idealistic thinkings". they were almost right. almost.
i’ve been working nearly a month now. and i feel the same excitement getting a diagnosis right, doing a procedure right or just being in OT. the same frustration when i fail to pick up a sign or diagnosis, or if i couldn’t do a procedure right. the same euphoria during rounds, bringing me back to the wonderful "dato kanda" days…
it’s tiring, yes. it’s frustrating and stressful, definitely. but more than that is that feeling of… wow… i’m finally here, doing this… i’m finally doing what i’ve longed to do for so long… finally… it’s amazing.
i have so much to say but for now… i’m basking in all of this… this cheshire cat grin plastered on my face.
the emo surgeons and anaests (and Uro MOs) may get the better of me some days but over all it’s a great team i’m in… and i have fun at work…
no i don’t want to go back to uni life, because it means i’ll have less time doing what i like…
