"Semester 10 is a time for change." Dato K said so today during our VC. I see what he means by that statement. Semester 10 to IMU is a time where we stop thinking (and behaving) like medical students and start being a doctor. It is a transition period between two very different chapters of our lives. It may not be easy but it is a change we must make. The sooner the better. The time for change has arrived. Make the chance. Take charge of you patients, be responsible and start becoming a doctor.
Today I scrubbed in for OT for the 3rd time. The first was in semester 6 for an appendicetomy, second was during semester 8 electives for a laparoscopic salphingectomy and today was for a loop colostomy. Scrubbing in is always better for learning than just standing around. You get a 1st class view and play a role (small but nevertheless still a role) in the surgery. I must admit that Batu Pahat is much more conducive for students. Perhaps there is much less students here, hence the staff are more receptive of us. It was very easy to get permission to scrub in. Perhaps we should really consider smaller hospitals for housemanship. Food for thought.
