i'm actually in ophthalmology now. next week is my 2nd and final week. i just had 3 days of ophthal last week becoz of the chinese new year break. i'm glad for the break but sad because we have less time at the clinic.
last week i was trying my best to learn how to use an ophthalmoscope. after many futile attempts, i managed to see the blood vessels clearly and then view the optic disc. the moment was priceless. it was a bit easy using my dominant right eye but when i had to use only my left eye, mula la facial muscles cringe and contract. but i've gotto practice a lot more.
i dunno about other people but it definitely tires me out when using a fundoscopy becoz i have to restrict my breathing due to the close proximity. dah la banyak energy spent on trying to focus the lens and also keeping the other eye shut. i end up exhausted after doing the procedure on just one patient. and i'm required to do it on 10 patients.
i'm definitely not taking up ophthalmology.

in this posting, we have oncalls because we have to cover the patients in the ward. so everynite, me and 2 of my groupmates have to find a transport to go home.
there are 6 of us in my group. 2 bros and 4 sis. 3 have cars; both the bros and 1 sis. the irony of it all is that half of the group have cars but still the rest of the group cannot rely on them. why? because one is married, the other is senyap and keeps to himself and the last one is senyap too and keeps to herself. so the three of us yang don't have cars have to ask the 3rd one because she's a sister, yes?
of course we asked her. but she's unpredictable. there was one time when she agreed to give us a ride and then after being scolded by a lecturer in the clinic, she was upset and asked us to find another ride. fortunately for us, we cud ask the other guy.
another incident was when, my friends were relying on her to go back to the hostel but she forgot all about them. the unmarried guy pulak is always somewhat reluctant to give us a lift jadi malu nak mintak kat dia banyak2 kali.
after those incidents, we tried to be independant by borrowing other people's cars.
it's just sad.

i memang serik relying on people for transport. makes one dependent totally on other people's moods, whims and schedules. me dont like that.
i pernah borrow van dari 'brothers' untuk pindah rumah. ingatkan borrow la kan. bila dah habis pinjam rupa-rupanya kena SEWA $35 a day. ?!?!?!
kami di sini memang perlukan kereta because the postings are all over the place. especially my husband's uni..dah lah jauh2 giler. but at least his uni gives him transport elaun. my placements ok lagi because still accessible by public transport. cuma kalau balik lewat tu satu hal la pulak kan. dah la winter kul 5 dah gelap.
yep.. relying on people for transport can be quite a hassle. hopefully ayah can buy me a car eventually.
