Bits and pieces of a very battered medical student. Thursday, July 28, 2005. Man are inherently selfish.

Why, you might ask. To be totally honest, I do not yet have a very logical arguement to present on this matter, but here are two points worth considering:. 2 Consider for a second, what is selfishness? However, it is obvi...

Bits and pieces of a very battered medical student. Friday, August 05, 2005. Corpus started on his eye attachment yesterday and met a very chatty surgeon. This guy talks! One thing he said, which I think is quite interesting, is his opinion on what makes a good surgeon. It's not how quickly you can do a cataract surgery that determines if you're a good surgeon. Ultimately it's the end results that counts - how well a patient can see, and how well were the complications (if at all) managed.". He who knows...

Bits and pieces of a very battered medical student. Monday, August 08, 2005. Corpus nearly got knocked down by a cyclist today. It happened like this:. To let it pass. Now, at this point, there was a 4 feet gap between me and the curb, and all the space behind me that she could have gone passed. What did the cyclist do? Got really undecisive when she saw me, swaying from one side to the other, but carried on cycling at 30 mph anyway. And aimed directly at me! Exactly why she said that still baffles me.

Bits and pieces of a very battered medical student. Tuesday, August 02, 2005. Having been on a surgical firm for the past week, Corpus found out some more disturbing facts about the NHS - my trust does not have shoe-covers! On the first day of the firm I asked them for some shoe-covers for going into the theatre - I do not have my own theatre shoes. The reply I got was staggering - the trust no longer purchases shoe-covers and that I should just go into the theatres with my bare, naked outside shoes!

Bits and pieces of a very battered medical student. Monday, August 15, 2005. This is a bit of an old news. But apparently we're going be out of jobs. According to this article, a third of junior doctors have nowhere to go after their PRHO year. This is just great, isn't it? I sincerely hopes that it's going to get sorted out by the time I get to this situation. The future is looking grimmer by the day. Somebody reminds me why I wanted to do medicine in the first place?

Corpus looked into no less than 20 pairs of eyes today. If the eye is window of the soul, than ophthalmologists are definitely atheists. Not to mention that in the finals you're always asked to look into patient's eyes with that lousy piece of equipment known as the ophthalmoscope. You have kiss the patients all over t...
