Peggy's Cove
Getting the hang of classes now. A lot of psych interviewing
skills, pediatrics, and adolescent stuff. I'm trying to be more
of a people person. I feel like i'm bipolar lately. Happy
in the morning, quiet and moping towards the end of the day.
It's not loneliness, but i can't explain it. Maybe it's because i
think too much throughout the day, and i doubt my abilities more
now. Life isn't about music, kung fu, or movies now. It's
90% medicine from this point onwards.
Got myself an appointment with the international students admin
people. Hopefully we will be able to fight to be able to be paid
for clinical school in Sept. It won't be much, but it will
definitely make our lives here a lot easier. Clinical school, or
clerkship, in North America is very
structured, arduous, and it is pretty much like doing housemanship in
malaysia except that you are doing it in a sheltered learning
environment. That
means being on call, making house calls, being in the first line to
interview and admit patients, ordering diagnostics, and writing
prescriptions. We feel it is unfair
for international students like us not to be paid for it.
International students were paid up to 2 years ago when they decided
to abolish it.
On a happy note, i received a package from my koalie last night
:) A shirt from ebay that i have been looking for sometime.
It's been sometime since i received surprises in the mail.
Thanks a lot!
The nurses and doctors working over at Learning Resources are the
nicest people ever. We were invited over for dinner, treated like
family, and they brought us over to Peggy's Cove. I think it was
the best time for many of us.
God i really need to get my usmle studying together.
