E = egregious 😜

-

This post will be egregious 🤣 now, if know the meaning(s) of the word, you will know that my previous statement is highly ambigious, in fact it means the complete opposite of each other, depending on which meaning you decide to use - plz be nice 🥺 

If you don’t know the word, go search it up, it will defs come in handy 😉 

This is it, this is all I got 🤣 - also I’m rushing this one cuz I’m actually out camping and data is horrible out here so gotta get this out before I degrade down to fake 3G 😅

Things I wished I knew in MD2

-

This post is prompted by all the new faces I'm seeing at the hospital and the fact that I've signed up to be a Peer tutor/mentor for a group of MD2s, so here goes nothing... 1. Everyone has their own golden ratio of placement:textbook/lecture study and that's alright - caveat is you do the min 20hr placement (fr I've heard of people repeating MD2 because of attendance 💀). Personally, I worked out I'm a more practical learner and things I learn opportunistically on the ward are what stick with me the most, so my ratio was more 70-80 ward: 20-30 textbook learning. There is the downside of feeling like I'm adding bricks to a wobbly pier, but honestly, uncertainty is just a feeling we have to learn to get used to in medicine regardless. Also, it's totally fine if your golden ratio changes according to which rotation you're on.  2. Getting enough sleep is more important than cramming in one last lecture or podcast or practice qs -  to be quite frank if you...

New Year’s Resolution 🙉🙊🙈

 As I was writing the previous post, I realized it's already 2024 (hella scary if you ask me), and of couse the most generic post I can make is a New Year's Resolution BUT...thought by posting it out into the public, it would make me more accountable.......*tell that to the ostrich in me XD* '24 New Year's Res 1. Target weight 52kg - not just for vanity's sake, but that weight actually falls within the health BMI range for Asians, and I'm currently considered above this range 💀 2. Study more Mon-Fri so I can relax properly on the weekends - also cuz I can already see quite a few commitments popping up on the weekends given both social and club activities (new co-Hiking Officer for WMMSS this year!) so need a better approach to studies than last year 😅 3. Aim for gym 3/7 - seemed to get best results when I was doing this back in early 2021 💪 4. Read more books - rediscovered my passion for reading these past 2/12 so would love to continue it throughout this...

End of 1st Week in Paeds Reflection 🍼

  Biggest takeaway? Interacting with patients’ parents is not nearly as difficult as I thought it would be.  *sigh in relief x1000* Don’t get me wrong though, I defs spent an inordinate amount of time on my first ED shift hyping myself up to enter a cubicle and give the whole “I’m a med student, doctor told me I could come and talk to you about why your kid is in hospital, are you happy to do so?”  *internal monologue: please don’t bite me I’m sorry I’ll just excuse myself out now*  Reality check? I have yet to be rejected by a parent, and actually, most are quite happy to discuss what’s going on and raise any concerns that may have arisen in the interim, doubly so if they've just been waiting in the waiting room for hours- apparently seeing even a med student feels like they're getting attention (thank you for overestimating my contribution)  Takeaway 2: common things are common - a no brainer but don't think that hit as hard last year as it does now. <1yo w...
