Edit: Today (29/7/08) we broke our record. There were no patients on the ward for our team :) We were grinning away at handover while everyone else just stared at us in disbelief...or it could have been jealousy or hatred. It's hard to tell really :D

Went to hospital as usual today (28/7/08) and discovered that my team had all of...1 patient. Ward round consisted of us going to his bedside and attempting to wake him:

Reg: Mr X...*pats his hand*...Mr X?
Mr X: *grunt*
Reg: *shrugs* Well, Ken, that's our ward round :)
Reg+Intern+Me: *Lol*

For the record, Mr X needed some sedation the night before as he was somewhat agitated with altered sleeping patterns.

This must be some kind of record. I've never had a medical rotation with only 1 patient in the ward.

It's a sunny Sunday morning..well it was a sunny Sunday morning. It's overcast now and has pretty much been for the last few weeks. I miss the sun, the energy I derive from it, and most importantly the warmth it brings in the cold seasons.

Anyway, I'm currently doing a medical rotation at the Modbury Public Hospital which has been really quite good so far. The handover and ward rounds are inescapable but they're not too bad. The tutes are great though, and the best part is that we get lots and lots of food :)
The library on the 5th floor is where we spend most of our free time and it has a great view of the surroundings.

Rolling hills span across a great distance before tapering off into flatlands, which are the suburbs. The CBD is faintly visibile on a clear day too. The greenery is really refreshing and I've seen some great views from there so much so I wish I could have taken some pictures for memories.

On some cold days, the clouds hang so low that they seem to be emanating from the hills. At other times, sunlight and clouds create a play of moving shadows on the surface of the hills. Once the hilly side was clearly visible in bright sunshine whereas the suburbs and city were completely obscured by clouds and rain.

On a personal development note, I have long realised that many are the occasions when I subconsciously "wear a mask" (as Wee Jie said sometime back), and lately I'm getting annoyed by it. I have a couple of theories as to why 'I' do it but I want it to stop. The question is how...
I also need to start exercising again. The cold is just so...well...cold. Must get into shape. No, I do not consider round to be a shape.
