Conversing with Life: Thanks for the memories

Thanks for the memories

This SIP posting has inspired some of the most memorable posts from end Nov to mid Dec.

And needless to say, this has been a great posting. I was just talking to Liping and we both agreed that this posting was especially memorable because we went through hard times.

There were times when we were on the verge of a breakdown, times when we were so busy we couldn't squeeze time out for lunch, times when we were so tired we just wanted to sit and stone and times when we doubted ourselves in our ability to manage patients.

But there were also happy times. Times when we joked with the nurses, times when the doctors thanked us for our help and times when the patient shows appreciation and understanding of the work that we do. All these made our work worthwhile.

Thanks for the memories, we enjoyed the posting very much. And to be honest, in the euphoria of the end of this posting, I would love to come back and work again in the department, which is like a large happy family.

That's me and Dr Tan WM, the first HO i was attached to. He was so intelligent and confident, I took him as a role model.

That's Dr Lim YC, the second HO i was attached to after the rotation at the end of the month. She was so independent and strong, and yet very 'motherly'. I could always ask her for help.

That's me, Liping and Jasmine. The SIP interns posted to the department. (Jeremy is unfortunately absent in the photo) Chicken rice anyone?

For a bonus photo, that's Dr Tan MH, my blogder! (yay, I have a fan!) Dr Tan was always so philosophical and cheerful. Would have loved to meet his rabbits.

Not many postings have inspired me to post photos. This was definitely one of the best.
