heart beat

We learn about heart sound, S1 and S2. and in some individuals, there are S3 and/or S4.

lup dup lup dup.

thats how it should be.

recently, there is this new song by leehom, 心跳,(heart beat) . i love this song :) and at the end of the song, there is this monologue by leehom, saying that in this busy life that we have, sometimes, we should slow down and listen to our heart beat. yes, very true indeed.

the other day, before my exam, i took out my stethoscope and put it over my heart region. lup dup lup dup lup dup. listening my heart beat, i asked myself, is this truly what i want? is this really the path that i want?

i doubt myself. whether i am really suitable to be who i want to be? i have gone through 1 year+ of medical school, yet, the knowledge that i need to know, is so much, that it is more than i could handle. learning, memorizing, regurgitating, and forgetting. it seems like a cycle. whatever that i thought i have remembered, seem to evaporate in no time.

listening to my heart beat, i asked myself again and again, whether i really can endure this path that i have chosen, the long hours, the never ending committment, the sacrifices, the tonnes of responsibilities. lup dup lup dup...can somebody please translate this to me?

i guess, this journey in med school not only taught me medical knowledge, it makes me think. and taught me to learn about myself. and i am slowly enjoying it.

some one once told me: Don't waste your heartbeat! yes, true enough :)






i listen to it again. lup ........dup........

it just contracts in agony. slower and slower...

''when someone is in your heart, they're never truly gone'' - for one more day- Mitch Albom

can you stop becoming the autonomic nervous system of my body. please don't affect my heartbeat anymore.i have my own regulation.

it's almost one year.

and i always wonder, do you know all this is happening?

lup dup lup dup.

slower and slower...day by day.
