Wc said something which sets me thinking. He was extrapolating what specialty each of us would go into eventually. And when it was me, he said most likely I would come out be a GP. I looked at him for a while and realized what he said have made sense.
I have not rejected the idea of doing that and in fact I think I would prefer something like that. Away from the competition and having more time for private life. He knows and I know that I need my life. I wouldn't say I cannot spend my life in the hospital but given a chance I would definitely want a life. I want to travel, to meet up with friends, to do things I like, to go out with my loved ones, to spend time with my family. These are the things more important in life than the struggle to be the best doctor. Many guys may think it is such a whimp to think as such, but I say I am a man cos I know what I want in life.
But currently, posting is making me a little unhappy cos I didn't have time to spend with my friends and family and loved ones. As many tutors had put it, we need to sacrifice our private life for sure, but I am not going to give up my dream because of it as well. Hence, I can only pray now that my friends, my loved ones, and my family would understand the tight schedule I have now and be understanding. Yesterday was spent on home taking care of my niece cos she was feeling unwell and it made me realise how long I have not been able to spend a day at all to see her and interact with her. It makes me feel sad a little and a sorry to her as well. Let's hope this little emotional bump would be over soon and I can start running for my next posting at CGH!!
