This post is probably a couple of days late. I was celebrating my freedom. hahaha EOS is finally over. Finally, I do not have an exam shadowing me, lecture notes to study, PBL to research on and no more long hours in the library. It sure feels good.
The night after our final OSCE paper we went to watch a movie and have dinner at Midvalley. It felt like ages since i last went there. We watched Angels and Demons and ate at Carl's Jr. After that, we went to Luna Bar. The 2nd day i went to the gym, which I have abandoned for more study time and also L4D with Ek Guan.
Results will be out this Friday and if all goes well (ie. I pass) I will be having 3 months break before starting Phase 2 at Seremban Clinical School.
I always compare studying medicine as a sailor going to sea. Up till now, I have been a sailor learning how to go to sea. In August, I will finally be able to go to sea. To see real patients in a real hospital scene, that's what we have all been waiting for.
To study the phenomena of disease without book is to sail and uncharted sea, while to study books without patients is not to go to sea at all.

My Memoirs
Being a medical student have always been my life long dream. Every day I wake up knowing that I am training to do something that I love to. This blog was created on the 3rd week of my 3rd year as a medical student. I created it to contain my thoughts, joys, sorrows and memories of medical school. Memoirs of Medical School.
About Me
- Wilkinson Tan
- 2009 A 3rd year student trying to make the most out of what he has. Struggling to survive medical school in one piece. Just started Clinical School in Seremban. New town, new campus, new lifestyle, from senior to newbie. Trying to adapt and get the hang of how things work here. I have a good life but i have also had some rough times. I am enjoying being single with all the "joys of being single". Preparing for exams is what i am currently doing. Many people are "kiasu", they wanna get all A. I just want to pass. I am "kiasi".
2010
With Phase 1 of medical school under my sleeves, I move on to Clinical School. Now a 4th year medical student, everything makes more sense. Perhaps I love learning in wards more than in library. Perhaps I love patients more than I love books. But somethings never change. I'm still the same guy trying to make the most of what I have and trying hard to pass my exams. Maybe I do study abit more than I need to out of interest sometimes. Got bitten by Kiasu-ness perhaps? hahaha
