6 more weeks & counting till Bali
Mood:  hug me
Topic: Everyday life (weirdness)
It’s been a hectic week for sure. Tons of problems coming at me that needed a swift solution. And in the meantime what nowadays seems to be a chronic lack of sleep due to frequent night shifts and working nightly hours. College fees for 2007/2008 are paid *ouch*. My appeal letter is now waiting in the office to be signed by prof. My trial had a head start this week, rather hectic and not in the way I usually like to have all details neatly taken care of. Official confirmation of my case report in JOG being accepted.
I came to wonder whether it is really all worth it, this hectic life style. How will it be afterwards, once specialised ? I want to be able to go out and have a drink for a friend’s B-day without having to feel bad about not being able to afford the dinner-outing and the worry about the workload that is still awaiting me. I want to be able to spend proper time with my gem. I want to be able to more often see my other small gem. I want to be finished with work at 5 in the afternoon. This week the pre-med kids from Taylors college were walking around in the hospital, to get a taste of doctor’s life. Prof BK and I gave them the best possible advise; don’t go to med school. By the time you find out how it is for real, it’s pretty much too late to bail out. And that’s how it is for me too. One happy-happy though this week; I got my hands on a 66 years old lady with a tummy as huge as 3 full term babies pregnancy.
With BK coming in later, I managed to get the whole thing out (including uterus) on my own. The result was a huge egg of at least 10 kilo’s, likely a dermoid cyst.
