the most extraordinary timetable is out. for the six weeks of basic clinicals, i've been posted to one of the three central hospitals on the island. yay. what boggles me is the alternating surgery and medicine days. it goes something like tuesday and thursday are for surgery, and wednesday and friday are for medicine. huh? so one day i'll be learning surgery stuff, and the next day i've to switch to med? very odd. and we've got jam-packed lecture days every monday, from eight to four, to teach us how to read ecgs, examine a scrotum and communicate with patients.

this has nothing to do with medicine, but take a closer look at the ad featuring a local female celeb on a weight loss program in life! today. notice anything out of the ordinary?
