Of The End Of Paediatrics

well, so here it is - the end of paeds. i can't quite believe that it's over, since i did enjoy most of the posting, including reading up on the varied conditions, but i -am- relieved that it's the break now, especially after the end-of-posting test. it was quite horrendous i must say. the theory test wasn't -bad- really, since we all had a rough idea what to expect. as for the clinical test, i got drawn into a discussion about one of my most feared topics in medicine - microbiology! so of course i wasn't rejoicing very much after it.

but at least i got some comfort food. a couple of us bundled into a car and drove to central where we had some ramen at marutama ramen. i chose to take some spicy chicken ramen which wasn't spicy enough really, but the stewed pork bellies were tender enough to make me happy. haha. we rushed back for the combined seminar and ended up staying for pdcp! so the movie plan was scrapped and we ended up in holland village having mexican food and complemented by margaritas. it was a great night, and i think we tried hard to make it so, well aware of the fact that there might not be a chance like this during our next posting.

i've noticed that this paediatric posting seems to be associated with food. i managed to sample russian, french-japanese, mexican, japanese, indonesian and northern indian cuisine all in the short span of eight weeks. not bad eh? not forgetting the frequent samplings of that most wondrous form of all cuisines - mcdonald's!

looking forward to the 2 weeks!!
