Day one in anaesthesiology.
It was quite an interesting day.
First I was in GOT where MO D tried to input lots and lots of information into my brain (of which I hope at least some entered), and then I followed another MO for premed (pre-operative evaluation) and then I tagged with another MO in OOT during which he tried to give me more useful information.
Too much information + too slow a brain = blur.
Guess I need a bit more time.
But you know what, I am enjoying it.
For the first time after a long, long time, I am actually looking forward to going to work tomorrow!!
Maybe it's the MOs and specialists who are super nice.
Maybe it's the absence of daily ward work and reviews.
Whatever the reason, I hope this feeling stays.
The only thing I don't like is the cold!! The OT is freezing. Maybe I ought to get my winter clothes or my thermals and some socks! Must definitely remember to bring some long sleeves to wear in OT after this.

HELP!
I am SO confused.
Here I am - in my 4th posting going on to my 5th.
I am left with Surgical and A+E.
All my close friends are going to surgical, so obviously that is where I would want to go to.
Last Friday, I was told that I will be going to Anaesth with 14 others, none of whom I am really close with.
I was supposed to go to A+E, but since they are too full, half of us are going to be put in Anaesth.
Here's the thing.
If I go to Anaesth now and then surgical later, I would be alone, with no close friends. Since working with non-friends are no fun as what I am experiencing right now, I am tempted to try to change my next posting to surgical.
But then, I also would like to try on Anaesth. As I have mentioned before, I have actually considered going into Anaesth after I finish my housemanship, so this would be a good exposure. And I am afraid that if I let this chance pass me by, I won't get to know whether or not I really enjoy being in Anaesth. (Plus, as a good friend told me, I can make new friends)
However, missing A+E is also a loss. A+E is a whole different world. You see patient who are in need of urgent help, you learn how to treat acute patients, where every minute really makes a difference. (Patients are usually stabilized in the A+E before being sent to the wards)
If I go to Anaesth, then I would miss the A+E training.
So, now you see why I confused?
What should I do?
What would you do?
