Attachment Day 3. Just a short one before I have to rush off for fencing.
I've realised just not everyone can be a good doctor. It takes a special someone to be one. I was enlightened over the past few days as I watched the housemen, nurses and medical students work.
I've seen things that I didn't think I'd see as a student. Gangrene, amputation, closed fractures, open fractures, infections, inflammations.
Simply put, the medical profession, unlike what the average taxi drivers say, is not as great as its made out to be. I mean, it can't be all that great, because when your job gets exciting, it simply means someone else is hurting or dying. And I've realised that in the hospital, the risk of death is in fact very real.
On the other hand, I don't know a better place if I wanted to help people....
ok, so long for now then
