can't believe i'm week away from the end of surgery posting. it's gone by so much faster than medicine. will definitely miss doing surg at chalet hospital. heh. according to the various schedules which came out this week, my next posting is psychiatry at the western hospital. ugh. that's so far away from my place! and to think i'll be back to do emergency medicine there too.

after two weeks of urology, i've decided that uro so isn't my thing at all. i was quite enthusiastic about the subject since i thought it'd be a change from gs, but man, i just couldn't bring myself to like it. the team was nice though. they're a bunch of funny guys who made us laugh.

since my surg test is over (hurray!) i spent nearly the whole day in the ot. saw a myriad of cases, from a sebaceous cyst to a radiofrequency ablation. it's the longest i've ever spent with the team, and seeing them in their element in the ot was quite an experience. some of us got scolded, for different reasons, but one of these scoldings produced an unexpectedly funny line from an unexpected person. it instantly diffused the situation and is easily the most memorable quote from a doctor at chalet hospital. heh heh.
