sitting in clinics, most of the time just watching a conversation take place where you just wonder at the end of it, what was the whole presenting complaint again? and your mind just goes blank. sitting for the whole 20 minutes trying to figure out what they were actually talking about. but at the end of it. you do pick up a few bits and bobs. and in tutorials when people are stuck on the prophylaxis you give a lady developing high b/p in early stages of pregnancy. you draw out your experiences and it all becomes worth again. of course, low dose of aspirin. guess what? i think i might just be in love with obs & gynae.
and you just can't help but wonder how does this male dominated speciality truly gives justice to women complaining of dysmenorrhea or associated symptoms when they aren't physiologically equipped with a menstrual cycle. i guess that's how far we have reached the standards of equality. hehe i still wonder though, why its male dominated. could it be because there's a fair amount of surgical skills required. but oh well.
its still early days, but its probably quite high on my list of interesting specialities.
Steve Jobs just passed away of pancreatic cancer. as a fan of his products, i can't help but feel a sense of sadness. first time i heard of him was in my ITGS class, a couple of years ago. quite an inspirational figure he is. i think his legacy could be found in every household. i just thought, it affected the whole world when he went, and his legacy will continue for numerous generations. just reminded me of Nabi Muhammad and his legacy that has brought rahmah to this world. should feel more honoured and love towards our beloved Rasul insyaAllah. صلى الله عليه وسلم
