This is going to be a Mother of Rants post... First of all, I have a item that is being delivered by FedEx which I missed cos' I have to be in the hospital till past 5pm everyday... Guess what when I called them to arrange for a alternative date and time? I said as I cannot be at home on weekdays before 5.30pm, I asked whether it can be delivered on Saturdays? The answer is a big resounding NO! 
Seriously?! I may be wrong about this but isn't FedEx suppose to deliver 7 days a week? I mean even if it's not, shouldn't the delivery hours be extended past 5.30pm so that ppl can be at home to receive it? Cos' I believe that most ppl work...
Second rant... I just heard news that Singapore is calling for bidders to submit designs for a new sports hub to be build... The first design that was revealed today in my opinion is HIDEOUS! They design it to look like a horse-shoe and guess what? The color of the sports hub is golden! Wah! What's with the golden color?! Isn't a Durian bad enough... Now they want a shoe-shoe to mar the skyline? Sigh...
Okay.. enough of ranting... Something good happen today... I got well kinda praised by my consultant... For the past few months, my classmates and I have been bitching how sometimes we feel like wall decorations - ignored and unappreciated... But today, I made a remark about a patient and the consultant actually said, "Yes... that's right... It would help her condition... Should have thought of that... Thank you for reminding me..." And he asked me to tell the patient while he arrange to have the treatment for her. Those words were heaven...simple words like thank you makes so much difference to the lives of medical students... I know...it sounds pathetic... but really it makes so much of difference...
Oh also I well felt a testicle today... To tell you the truth, I was actually apprehensive... I mean it! I was sort of embarrassed too.. I didn't know whether to wear gloves or not... I mean I've seen some doctors wear gloves but I don't know if I do that whether the patient will take offense. In end I didn't... But on the whole the morning clinic was really good... I learned a lot from it... Didn't do that well with the grilling but I just think of what one consultant said to me previously, "It's better to make a fool out of yourself as a student than when you are actually practising..." It's difficult to follow that advise but I try...
