as quoted from John Green's The Fault in Our Stars. It's a lesson that is a good reminder whenever I'm feeling like being my spoiled brat self and a lesson I wish to share to people who keep on complaining about the "harshness' of life.
In Filipino, sabi nga ni Bea Alonzo sa The Mistress, "Hindi lahat ng gusto mo, makukuha mo."
I was having a difficult night last night, the stress of an upcoming event, the fear that it won't be as successful as what we hoped it would be and the annoying thought that some people have to be bugged about their responsibilities really gave me such bad mood. I just want Friday to be over. And with my state of mind last night, I opted to not blog for it will only reek of bitterness, anger and bad vibes.
And today, after 2 movies, a good night sleep, 3 TV series episodes, a home-made lunch and my favorite Sunday merienda, I am ready to share my last week experience with our most recent module, ICC in ORL.
ORL which may have been previously known as ENT was a high yield learning experience for me. It made me realize how much I suck at anatomy, and how much I badly need to review the parts of the human body. It made me realize how much ORL is a nice specialty, except I don't like poking into holes of other people and I don't like anything to do with surgery and I don't have that much depth perception that is needed for this kind of specialization. But what struck me most in ORL was the kind of learning environment that the residents and the consultants provide.
First off, almost all the consultants were really nice, approachable and has an excellent ability to motivate, and impart knowledge without the intimidating personality (which by the way, is more effective for me). Second, the resident monitor was really approachable and friendly and all the residents were reallly helpful as well. Maybe because, their seniors were helpful too. Finally, the rounds, where cases are being talked about gave a very engaging and academic environment, which was unfortunately not always seen in our previous rotations. In some of the rounds/conferences of our previous rotations, it appeared as a test where residents and even students are "grilled", sadly.
If only, all professors and consultants were like those we met in ORL, then we are on a treat for some definitely high yield learning experience. We will be having derma this week, another one week module that I hope to enjoy and a learning opportunity, I wish to maximize. Yay ICC :)
It is also RSO's 12th anniversary :) To more doctors who serve the nation! <3
