reflections on O&G

clinical acumen is the bane of medical students...
it is the thing we aim for...
it is the thing they try to teach us...
it is the thing that we cannot use because we are inexperienced...
it is the thing specialists always use because they are experienced...
it is the excuse to do something when you don't have evidence to back you up...
it is... guessing when you don't know the answer...

heh... i thought of this as i was studying irritatedly last nite just b4 exams...
but on a whole obs has been a good posting...
heh... it's gone by really fast... i think i'll be dropping by once in a while during psych to do things i never got to do while i was in obs...
but it's been good...

during obs i suddenly realized that now we're no longer mere medical students... no longer just students learning about medicine... but now we're junior doctors... practicing for when we become housemen... and things that we do or don't do will come back to haunt us...
especially things like... haih... i should have enjoyed myself more... lol...
or more practical things like.. i should have practiced inserting branulas and drawing blood more...
but well... i guess i still got 2 years to "make full use of my time"...
