So pedia is about 4 days done, and i miss it.
I definitely learned a lot in our 4 week turned 3 week rotation in pedia because of the very ugly weather. It was definitely a rotation that gave me a great impression of a subspecialty that is very close to my heart.
If i would put to writing the things that are memorable in this rotation this would be:
1. having a partner and yet working alone. well, there was a peer evaluation anyway. and although it is just 5%, that is one of the things i looked forward to in ending the rotation, and perhaps one of the simple things i thought about to be able to survive, technically being on my own :)
2.the very high yield learning be it in the OPD, the ER, or during plenary discussions in staff conferences and lectures or case conferences. Learnings are definitely consultant based and i guess i am very lucky with the consultants that i have encountered with for this year. definitely those who you should look up to in the field of pediatrics. Thinking about our discussions make me feel really inspired :)
3. the very supportive residents, interns and clerks who really made the rotation easier. I guess pedia really radiates that aura of lightness, happiness and kindness since you deal with kids who can really make you smile even if they themselves are sick. These mentors friendly faces definitely made this rotation memorable :)
4. OPD, since it's our first time to meet patients and assess them and give them advice and the corresponding management, this is really a big step to being the clinicians that we will soon be :) checking up on kids, is like playing with them and being with them all the time gives me real joy :) or maybe because i'm really biased with kids :p
5. ER, yet again, another leap :) although i really felt like a space occupying lesion in this very busy and very toxic setting, i can say that i definitely learned a lot :) doing IV lines, extracting blood and basically an overview of a part of the kind of life that we would have when we would become clerks and interns. something i don't think i will ever be fond of, or maybe because there will really be days when you don't feel like being so tired that your main goal is to get through the day. well now i can say that i've been there, i've thought about that and i've done that. and it's an awful feeling, that i should really be reminded that i should love what I do, or what I will do for a more high yield learning experience :)
there, thank you pedia for a wonderful learning experience with you :) I will see you again next year, and once again we'll have a good time. :p
but like what one of my friends told me: 'ngayon kelangan mo malaman kung saan nangangaling ang mga bata'. hence the OB rotation. :p
i'm quite ambivalent with OB, but i know that i will eventually learn to love it or live with it. week 1 is almost done and i've been learning a lot.
Thank You for such great experiences, now i know, i definitely made a right choice :)
