03S78. HCJC.

27 of us make up the lovely class of 03S78 :)

it was a year and 6 mths ago that we graduated from hwachong, nothing much has
changed since then - we still have the good old class outings when we spend most
of the time walking around (+ extended one in europe recently), we still play
mahjong, watch movies, go æçå¦! together (at nwxiang's request of course)..

to many more years of friendship!

It has begun

Dear friends, its been a while since I last posted and I thought it'll be nice to share with everyone here or overseas how some of us have been doing recently.

It is now the time of our medical education where we are split into small groups of 1-3 pple, called clinical groups (CGs), and are sent to roam around the hospital wards learning and trying to take proper medical histories as we talk to patients. Sometimes, with luck, we are allowed to do physical examinations too.

From here though, I can only speak on behalf of my CG at Alexandra Hospital, which consists of myself, alfred and patrick. Let me introduce my groupmates to you.

As compared to my short, pigmented and scrawny self... Alfred is a shy, tall, dark and, may I say, rather handsome guy with a cool PDA. He likes to assemble and repair computers too. Oh yes, in case some of you know him, his name is Alfred Ng Weixiang. As for Patrick, he is tall, fair and handsome, kind of like those korean heart-throbs. He speaks french, is terribly hardworking and practices aikido. I like his name for the its nice loud ring to it: Patrick Pang Ningqi.

Yes, one of the many non-academic things we learnt this week was that english names come in handy for certain people to remember you better. So if you're one of them, remember... alfred and patrick =) heehee

But besides that, this week will be remembered for many other things.

Our monday lectures have made topics such as expressing empathy and note-taking into educational topics, exhorting advice like "dont say 'dont worry', it never works! Accept and acknowledge their worry!".
Tuesday was spent on fitting the right mask and drawing blood from mannequin arms... not to mention hours of board-gaming with our wunnerful extended CG.

From wednesday onwards, we spent our time standing for hours on end in the hospitals having monster rapidfire tutorials, chasing the people in the higher echelons as they zip around from ward to ward, learning to scrub oursevles ultra clean in the operating theatres with friendly auntie nurses as well as sitting down quietly beside patients to talk to them.

It is perhaps the last which lingers on our mind as we fall asleep each night. Patients we might not see next week, patients who perceive the world very differently and patients who echo bits of our past, present and future. And though our extremely generous tutors have taught us many valuable things this week, I think I will remember these first patients for teaching me something simple but which I felt was lacking: Strive to be one who makes them happy when they see you
