it's national day. whoot. a day for sleeping in and just to jalan jalan with friends, which is what i did today. woke up at nine and met my secondary school choir friends for lunch at eleven. it's been awhile since we all met up, and i've always felt blessed that after eight years, we're all still going strong and can talk about anything under the sun. heh. really must treasure my social life (or whatever little i have of it) because it doesn't seem like i'll have very much in the near future. bleah.

the patient who had neuroleptic malignant syndrome has been discharged. i think his stay was the longest of all the patients i've talked to. he came in one night at the beginning of my posting, now he's finally going home just before i sit for my end of posting test. am really glad he's so much better now.

this end of posting test is irritating me. there's so much to know that i don't know where to start. there are questions and answers, and questions about those answers. it never ends. the good thing about the posting is that i've grown to like medicine quite a bit, and that's it's been nice knowing the seniors. -grin- during csfc, surgery was so my thing and i couldn't understand why people could like med at all! oh well it's back to studying now i guess, and will probably take a hiatus from here until the end of my posting, unless something extraordinary happens.
