Nobody wants to be lonely...
The 1st feeling I've got when I came to London is loneliness. On d 1st day I arrived, my 3 other mates moved into the same floor n dumped me to the other floor, which I happily moved in coz I wouldn't have to climb so high, meaning that I can save more energy for the weather. So i was all alone in my floor for the 1st 2 nights...No moving objects seen, thank God.When the term started 3 weeks ago, I found making new friends a really difficult task, especially with the ang mo. 1st of all, they've been 2gether in a batch for 2 years, so they've got their own gang. Secondly, my english speaking skill sux. It's either I dun understand them, or they dun understand me. Disappointing.
Everyone knows I'm a sportsman. I'm almost perfect in every sports I play, except for football - n that's exactly what everyone plays here. There's only 2 guys from IMU including me. Lonely... no kaki for basketball, DOTA, n all d guys' things.
Now I'm with this medical team consisting of a bad-ass consultant, a bad-boy registrar, a SHO, 2 F1 n 3 medical students including me. It's like a small multicultural family, with the boss, d 2 F1 n 1 of my friends being ang mo, the SHO n another friend being black, the registrar being an indian (I think) n me being a Chinese. Cool. However, loneliness is still creeping in. The ang mo chick only talks 2 d black guy. Somehow I find it hard 2 talk 2 both of them coz of language barrier. So most of d time, they'll talk 2 each other n dun even bother 2 chat with me when I'm tyring hard 2 talk 2 them. It's pissing me off. This young white HO speaks like a sissy n only talks 2 the white chick n it's pissing me off too.
The biggest shit happened last week when I was on call till 8pm. 3 of us were assigned 2 a patient n we're supposed 2 clerk him n present d case 2 d bad-ass consultant. So I was asked 2 do the physical examination on him. I can proudly say that I'm quite good at this already coz I've done it so many times on normal persons. n I'm pretty sure I'm way better than the other 2 coz they haven't done shit b4 as they did Bio med b4 this.
Auscultation : " I heard crackles at the left lower zone of the lung," I reported. I's pretty sure I heard it. I've listened 2 normal ones so many times that I couldn't have possibly missed the loud crackles. This ang mo chick was looking at me, bewildered. So I asked the black friend 2 confirm it for me. He was shaking his head after auscultating.
Presentation time. It's ang mo chick's show time.
"On auscultation, lung is clear."
WHAT THE F***!!??
So we're not on the same boat now la? What's with "working as a team" ?Pissing me off, man. I did the physical examination n my own teammate reported a diff findings. U think I tulan or not?
Nah, forget it. Once I told a patient to be optimistic n 2 look at the bright side. So, I must do it too. This is me in my new 11.99 pounds original England football jersey, looking at the bright side.
This is me with my senior Eddie, looking at the bright side again...The camera flash is not bright enuff
