8th August marks the last day of my service in the ministry of health. Submitting my resignation letter a month ago felt just like a day ago. Time really really flies.
It's a great feeling. To see how you yourself have grown so much. I am so amazed to see how much I have grown through these hardship. They say, housemanship is tough. They say, housemanship is torturing. I say, housemanship has made me a better person, a better doctor.
Reading some of the experiences of my friends who are doing housemanship in other hospitals, I am grateful that I am sent to where I am now to do my housemanship.
Bidding farewell has never been easy. Leaving this place where I spent almost 15hours/ day 7 days/week for the past few months is not easy. I am glad for the friendship I have made in this few months. I am glad for the experience I had.
Last day of work, with lots of unforgettable experience. The most malignant specialist, who shouts at everybody and everything, who is so anal about things, narrate even 'bracket', 'arrow'. He is one of its kind. Issued 'DNR-do not resuscitate' to two families. I can't spell how difficult it is to do it, eventhough I have done it so many times. Followed by assisting a pleural tapping. This patient, I have managed her during her last admission, until her discharge. with underlying advanced stage IV lung Ca, she is definitely holding it up very well. very optimistic lady. never complain a single word when we attempt so many times to insert long CVP line for her. Now she is readmitted, on the first day of Raya, looking very ill. The smile which she used to have, is masked by the pain of the disease. I hope she will continue to hold on. My last day was highlighted by a patient who was trying to abscond away from the ward and created a big drama. lol.
I hope I never regret this choice which I have made. Quitting my job and chasing after my dream. Leaving this place in a week time. I know this journey will definitely make a different person. I just hope this change will make me a better person. I look forward to it.
