Man, I hate it when I have so many self doubts, I should just do it... I'm so wishy washy, I can't stand myself sometimes.

Let's hope that common sense shall prevail, and things will go my way. Sometimes, I wish that some people could have used more consideration before doing things their way, and spare a whole trail of people unnecessary and unwarranted unhappiness.

Sunday: supreme court outing!
Counting down to end of the work week..

New posting, new beginnings

It's been almost a month into the new posting now. I do miss the old place, its people and the environment now and then. The new place is quieter, I've got my own room and my own nurse, though most people will prefer having their own privacy, I miss the old chatter and bing bang that is constantly happening around the old one..
People wise... I think I've still got a lot to learn on manouveuring my way through 'minefields'. I don't know when I've offended someone, or when someone is trying to hint on something else.. a lot of second guessing.. urgh
And I think I'm a pushover too.. do I appear to loserish, that some people doubt my ability to protect myself? I've got people who constantly look after me, but I'm not as foolish as I appear to be to do silly things that they think I would have done if they had not stopped me? Hai sian.. and the AnE call is not making things better.. rude staff, who talk as if I'm out to steal stuff from the operatory.. man.. I should learn to be more firm. Maybe people do respond better to fierce people and therefore, get their jobs done.
Bad start to 2009

Masses of teens going on a killing spree, in bright day light..Such audacity. Just imagine the amount of grieving that it has caused to the victims' loved ones

I'm fuming.
Gek Kiangs should be given options of performing treatment for themselves.. since no one's holier than thou. As such, they should be writing textbooks for aspiring medical and dental students, and that would bode well for the nation's aspirations as a medical hub.
I was given a lesson on wound healing 101 (Geh Kiang version), who asked very highly challenging viva questions
a) when the gums are fully covered up, and without pus, who can you be so sure that there's no infection inside(screams :inside) the socket?
A: this is so mentally stupefying, that i find it hard to answer

b)(after being informed at xrays have been taken post op to exclude post op infection) But, you can't see the infection on the xray right!?!?!
A:which part of 'xrays to exclude post op infection do you not comprehend?

c) why must there be stitches in the first place? Shouldn't there be more oxygen so that the cells can survive better?My beautician said more oxygen can increase cell turnover in skin
A:...............................maybe the next time you go to the beautician, you get her to do dentures for you as well, cheap good fast, quality guaranteed

d)(aft taking antidepressants and having improvement in pain)the pain improved not because of the medication, but because when I see the the doctor, I start to feel that I'll get better, so it's more of psychological than the medicine given to me....
A: I'm flattered that I've got such great healing powers! =)! Maybe the next time round, I can sell my photos on the Net for USD$200, get this pt to be in my facebook fan club, and write endorsements for me! Any takers?

Above has been mentioned by Prof Geh.. so all of you ppl out there! Go attend more CDE/CME sessions by these Gehs.. you'll be loving every moment of it!
