after so long, have heard so much from people around me that working life is hell, and that's it for the rest of ur life..
and then there are a lot of us who considered postponing it until we are really ready, until we decide it 's about the time. but when would the time be when our minds keep telling us the world out there is a hell.
i decided i wanted to start afresh, i decided that i wouldnt listen to anyone until i myself testify.
it was daunting at first, with a huge responsibility we have to shoulder. when me and adila were made to introduce ourselves to the whole surgical department, i actually said that my name is ann chyi earl, you can call me ann, and i am in charge of ward 30 ( i heard applause of laughing and people actually said wao, someone in charge) and i am still adjusting to the working life and it's not easy..( and the head 0f department said welcome to the real world)..
it wasnt a good start, i seem to have a lot of things to do, yet i didnt know which to prioritize and hence i didnt do any of the necessary ones, to deal with radiologist when my patient GCS dropped and was told by the radiologist that her GSC wasnt full either, to deal with the anesth who shouted through the phone and i thought i had wetted my pants. and my own boss who said u are stupid and waited for my answer how i felt after having been scolded stupid..and the colleagues who backstabbed each others, who took advantage of us due to seniority..
i said fine, let's learn all this..one step at one time, i swallowed my pride..
now things are getting way better, i met wonderful people who taught me how to refer case in a better way that dont irritate, how to deal with the suckiest radiologist..
i would say i love working life much better than the medical school time, that's when we learn the most about the most practical stuffs, though i once a while have this thought of packing my bags and go backpacking..i think it has already run in my blood. haha
