I'm totally stealing an idea from my fav podcaster!!!!

-

Shout-out to Toni & Ryan (you can find them on YouTube, Spotify, Apple podcast, patreon etc), the only podcast I actually follow religiously and makes my commute back from placement during peak hour 10000x more bearable, but imma steal an idea from them which is a post a day for 26 days, alphabet themed, i.e. I write about the first thing that comes to mind when I think of the specific alphabet of the day 😁😃👀💣 (maybe TMI but we rolling w it XD) 

Today's letter is obviously A!

A = apple, so fcking basic but sums up much of my childhood LOL → was a big apple juice drinker and an apple a day (fuji, pink lady, granny smith, u name it, i've probably ate it) kinda gurl from the start of my memory to about 10ish, before betraying apple for orange juice (found apple juice to sweet all of sudden, no precipitating event or incidence LOL). 

The apple juice I remember most fondly is Qoo 苹果汁 (literally apple juice in Chinese 😂), but specifically the one with a sippy cap and a neck strap, super fancy ikr, it was the one that I had on all field trips no exceptions, not sure if mum bought it or arranged through the school but it was fcking lit! I've tried to find a pic of it on Google Images but couldn't find the exact one, but the mascot is the GIF below XD

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...

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...

End of O&G rotation reflection

 First of all, how the fck are we already 10 days into the fcking THIRD MONTH of 2024 and 6 weeks of MD3 has already gone and pass. No jokes, just feeling like I know what's up with O&G and already it's time to move onto another rotation 💀💀💀 guess there's some continuity in content with neonates technically being under paeds but otherwise all new content and ref ranges to learn 😨😨 But I digress and now back to the actual content of this post - REFLECTION! Everyone's fav part of PP what with the Gibb's cycle, how can we not 😆 not no, my brain is not str enough for that, you're just gonna get a very chaotic ver of that today 🙃🤡😚 #1 Don't skimp on sleep - pretty sure this was one of my tips for incoming MD2, but hey, "do as I preach, no as I do"...but no seriously, I had a slap in the face wake up moment just this week. Day 1 bedtime procrastination, just under 6hr sleep - could barely focus on what's going on in hosp, felt sick to t...
