This was written about 2 years ago when i first entered clinical school. I cant remember what triggered me to ut this down to paper.. but i think it must have been something the lecturer asked us in class
Before i enrolled into this course, i had a very clear picture on why i decided to become a doctor ( That was long before my accountant ambition was rejected although after gaining a scholarship for that). Reasons were too Euthopian..Saving lives, cure their ilnesses, prolong and give good quality of life. Too insensible when i think back. My first few weeks in clinical school made me realise that putting words into sentences is very different from learning through experience.
The main idea is to help people is still there but many challenges are now more eminent ..not as easy as i thought it would be. Especially when we are emotionally attached to the patient.
I realised a good performer in class will not be a good performer in hospital too. Clinical school definitely requires more than memorizing, mugging . It requires common sense, intuition, compassion to people and empathy. I am more human now
