So today concludes the 3rd clinical round in the Internal Medicine II blocks, the Hepatobiliary unit. This unit is the one that I attend for one month duration, two years ago during Internal Medicine I round. So some of the doctors and professors recognize us.
And because of that same reason, I can’t skip any classes. There was this one day when I overslept, I accidentally skipped the morning class. In the afternoon, the doctor ask me that why I didn’t came that morning. Feeling guilty, I spontaneously said that I was not feeling well. So he said, “So your are well now?” Damn I am such a lousy liar. I should tell him the truth because he is so understanding and nice. I guess that is my weakness. It was very difficult for me to get close with anyone unfamiliar. I know it is very difficult to live in this world without connection but I feel so bad when getting to know somebody just because I got a hidden agenda.
Anyhow putting all that apart, today I’ve taking an IV blood sample from a patient. Yeay for me! I know maybe other people has taken a lot of samples already but for me, this achievement give me a great relief. Because of what? Because I knew that after we graduate, we will need to know how to take blood sample from the patient. But if we have never done so, how meh? Now, I can rest assure about my future, even though for a little bit. But there is still room for improvement. Now I need to learn how to take IV sample, from an obese patient. Hoho
