ARGGHH!!

that's probably what a lot of my peers are feeling now... it's the last stretch!! last week of preparations before the battle begins...

a prof said, "u hafta believe u're a safe doctor." how true... as long as u can trust urself to take care of your patients next time, u will pass! if u keep that aim in mind, u'll study enough to pass! there's SOOO much to study cos in the field of medicine there're tonnes n tonnes of knowledge and information around for us to absorb. but as long as u remember the ultimate aim, u'll understand which stuff are the must-knows and which are extra and good to know.

i sound so wise and enlightened right? haha... being able to come up with those wise words doesn't mean i'm all well-prepared for the exams. somehow there's always a discrepancy between knowing what you hafta do and ultimately doing it. u all get what i mean... it's the same with many other things... haaii...

somehow i dun feel this urgency to know orthopaedics and paeds... mainly cos i know for sure i'm not gonna do them in future. especially if all goes well and i get the HO postings i want, i'll be clear of these 2 tracks forever! (sorta... i just hafta know when to refer!) wait... all goes well also means i hafta do well in them first... aahh...

plus i really can't feel much of an interest towards some of the tracks... like i always fall asleep whenever i try to read them, can't seem to remember the stuff and move on to more stuff. it's so different when i study internal med-related topics. feel much happier and more zest too...
