everything really happens in His own time :)

A few months back, i blogged about a certain person who was actually giving me a hard time at school. I was indeed so frustrated of him and his actions as a team player. About three months has passed since that actually very emotional entry, and in fairness to him, he did actually improve. Through the next rotations (OB, IM and Surg), he became a better group mate, a better partner. There are days when he is being his old annoying self while there are those moments when you will actually be amazed at how responsible he can actually be. 

Today was one of those days when he chose to be his old self. Arriving 2 hours late at the out patient department, when I have finished doing the task that should have been done by two people. I was able to interview a patient and do a thorough physical examination aside from the minor liaison officer duties that I have to do. I was able to do everything in 2 hours and I was preparing myself to present the case alone, when he arrived. 

This is not the first time that this happened. Previous by partner tasks have been really unfair. And i guess i actually got used to it already that I always let him have something to take credit for even if I almost did everything. But not for this one. I was really annoyed at him. Really really annoyed. I was preparing to be in 'really bitch mode' when our consultant made my life easier :)

True enough, everything happens for a reason and everything really happens in His own time. :) Maybe today was the right timing for the right person to talk some sense into him. Some sense in his priorities and the things he actually want to do in life. Maybe today was the right time for the right person to talk some sense to me that I am actually doing what is right (and affirm to me that I am really having a big problem with him as a partner if he doesn't change :p)

Either it's the family physician mode in her which made her intervene or she's just really a blessing. :)

Nonetheless, I am thankful. And really hopeful, that she was actually successful in reaching him and enlightening him. Hopeful that he would eventually really improve, again, more for himself and for his future patients.

This past week has been such a roller coaster ride of emotions. from being sad, to being very busy, being annoyed and then to laughing and smiling yesterday. With what happened today, my faith has been strengthened again and again of the value of His own time. The importance of believing that He always has His plan :) Thank You :)
