I have to say - I am rather shocked.
Only 5 posts so far this month.
I didn't even realize how fast time flew by this month.
Maybe there was just too many things going on.
Or maybe it's because of the labor room - a place where time just doesn't seem to matter.
One thing I like about the labor room - they (the ladies) come, they deliver, they leave.
We don't have to see the same patients over and over again for a few days and wait for them to get better slowly.
In fact, most of them who come to us are not even sick, they are just delivering, which is a normal process of life!
I have decided that this is what I like - seeing patients for a short while, as in handling a particular patient for a particular moment and then moving on to the next patient.
I don't want to have to wait for a patient to get better over a long period of time.
I want to see, treat and tell the patient that they are well and they can now leave.
So, what field should I get into?
Medical is basically a chronic field- some even say people come there to die.
Kids are just too complicated.
Surgery - not interested.
Ortho is basically surgery - not interested.
O&G - kind of nice, but don't like the surgical part of it, so, once again - not interested.
A&E - never been there, have no idea what it is like. But then, yes, acute management. Either patients come there and die or they get stable enough to be transferred to other wards. But, is there a future in A&E? Why do people say that those who are in A&E are those who can't get into other departments?
Ophthal - can't even do a fundoscopy properly.
ENT - once again - surgery.
Derma - boring?
Anaest - seems interesting. But seems like it needs lots of knowledge - will I be able to know all? What if I can't get a line for a patient? Whom do I turn to?
Did I miss out any departments? I don't think so.
Hmm...I just don't know what I want.
Am I supposed to decide now? Some say that the faster you decide, then the faster you can start to study to become a specialist and so you won't have to be an MO for long (being an MO is NOT EASY!).
Maybe being a chronic MO (being an MO forever) is not too bad (as long as not in a GH).
Maybe be an MO in a KK or district hospital.
Do I even get a choice or will I just be posted out?
I wonder.
Why is life so hard?
So many decisions, so many uncertainties..
