it's alr week 4 into my orthopaedics, dermatology, plastic surgery n anaesthetics block..
wat hav i learnt??
we hav got quite a number of clinics n topic sessions with very few ward tutes..
we had a professional develpoment tute on "Health Promotion" last week..one of the questions asked was whether we hav changed any factors in our own lifestyle since becoming a medical student...
i guess my answer is "yes?!"...=p
for instance..few days ago i deliberately stopped by safeway supermarket just to buy myself a sunscreen lotion..after being drummed into my head the high prevalence of skin cancers in australia...(australia has the HIGHEST incidence of skin cancers in the WORLD eh...XD) i spent a good 10mins in front of the aisle looking for a high SPF, non-greasy & high protection sunscreen n finally i got myself a spray lotion..hee...cyew tried to convince me that we, Asians, being dark-skinned r not tat likely in getting a skin cancer..but & anyway..i m going to protect n treat my skin well..hehe...=p
we hav only had 1 tute on anaesthetics so far..learning how to put ppl into sleep..hee...it sounds quite interesting..(but it has also got a high suicidal rate among all specialisations..=p)
ortho has been quite interesting..most of the orthopaedic surgeons r really nice..n rich..(they drive BMW n sports car..XD) they deal with bones n heavy stuffs all the times..a guy's job..hehe...they even said tat a gal who does ortho is either in the wrong place or in the wrong body..hee...*gao xiao* sexism~~ =p
another 2 n a half weeks with skin n bones..hphmmm.....
**btw..hope we get a hse soon....*gan jiong*
