Bestest placement ever

Today is the last day of the bestest hosp placement i had in my entire medical sch life (it is also the last hospital placement that I had before the final exams).

So i had the bestest GP placement during the 1st block and now I just finished the bestest hosp placement in the 2nd block. Hopefully hopefully i will have the bestest project experience in my last block.

Finals are just around the corner.... =P

Invictus by William Ernest Henley

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Something about my blog's background picture

I actually took this picture when I went to Swansea with my gf 2 years ago.

And now i m actually doing a placement here in Swansea again and the seaside is only about 100m from the place I am staying. Amazing!

I am kind of a 'sea person'. I was born in a hospital which is just 10m from the seaside. Then I lived for almost 20 years in a city which is very near to the sea. My university is also located in a city next to a bay. Now I am doing my placement in a hosp which is very near to the sea too!

It's nice to look at the sea when I am down. It just makes me feel very relaxed and I can breathe more easily while looking at the sea.

Hopefully next time i can still live in a place which is not very far from the sea as sea is not just sea to me, it is part of my memory.

Reflection

Not a good day for me. Made a mistake and had to pay a price for it. Fortunately, nobody suffers any physical injuries from it but unluckily it burnt a hole in my pocket. Well, just need to be extra careful next time.

I had done 50% of my last clinical placement before my finals. This means:

1. I am closer to the finals
2. I have less time for revision
3. I am gonna be working, not immediately, but soon.

Need to find a way to expand my medical and surgical knowledge exponentially, and need to store more energy for the upcoming late-night revisions.
