Making a ninety degree

you know the season when you can see the ribbon straight ahead, and if you just persevere a little longer you can reach the end? well just before reaching the ribbon, my track took a 90 degree turn.

i was all set in my plans for my career. maybe it has been all i’ve been thinking of, that’s why. first hiccup, not getting the hospital of my choice… but being the stubborn soul i am, i persisted and so am remaining here, for now.

second hiccup, in efforts to stay back in HKL, have gotten myself held stuck to Paediatrics Dept. now to get out would be one sticky mess.

since am stuck in paeds, and will be for awhile… decided to set  things to my advantage and learn all the paediatrics i need to know for paeds surgery… hence opted for neonatal rotation after doing general paediatrics.

then, comes the third hiccup… i got oncology. initially thought it was a bad baaad choice. How could this be good anyhow? i can’t stand dying kids. i can’t stand cancer, and i with all my heart, want to get out, but it seems i’m just getting deeper and deeper in…

but, for all its worth, just giving it a shot would help me, somehow. not convincing i know. i’ll try not to hide my disappointment, and do my best as working for Him. but it can never be with my full enthusiasm.

bit by bit, my passion runs dry. sigh. will i ever be Ms. Genevieve, Paediatric Surgeon?
