First day in a new posting



Have already left paediatrics department officially and started a new posting today.Was told to attend the pass-over in the clinic at 7.30am first before going to the ward. Was overwhelmed by how loudly the consultants and specialsts talked during the pass-over this morning. Emm...Realised they are not like those soft-spoken doctors in Paediatrics department.
Yes, today is my first day in Orthopaedics. I'm starting a new posting with the first 5-day of tagging first before formally working in the deparment.Basically, i need to work from 7am in the morning, to start with morning rounds, then about 1-2 hours break in the evening, tag again at night from 7pm onwards until 11.00pm or until the oncall specialist has finished his night rounds.
One of the Junior M.O. told us that during our tagging, we should do as much as clerking as we can, so that we can present the cases the next morning and impress our consultants. Bullshit! Another senior H.O. (just few weeks more senior than me), forced us to stay back til midnight to help her to clerk and settle new admissions during her oncall. Inhumanity!
Being a new face here, we are always being bullied. They are four of us who reported to this department on the same day. So we will do our tagging together. Not too bad, as all bullying will be spread evenly :P muahahaha

My current situation

A lot of recent setbacks have really kept me down and out... Slowly withdrawing myself from the social circle and isolating myself from the rest (the world).
Was surfing randomly and found this test and here the results go:

Your Existing Situation
Dissatisfied. The need to escape continued involvement with her present circumstances makes it imperative for her to find some solution.

Your Stress Sources
Eager to make a good impression, but worried and doubtful about the likelihood of succeeding. Feels that she has a right to anything she might hope for, and becomes helpless and distressed when circumstances go against her. Finds the mere possibility of failure most upsetting and this can even lead to nervous prostration. Sees herself as a 'victim' who has been misled and abused, mistakes this dramatization for reality and tries to convince herself that her failure to achieve standing and recognition is the fault of others.

Your Restrained Characteristics
Egocentric and therefore quick to take offense. Sensitive and sentimental, but conceals this from all except those very close to him.
Very exacting in the standards she applies to her choice of a partner and seeking a rather unrealistic perfection in her sex life.

Your Desired Objective
Needs a peaceful environment. Wants release from stress, and freedom from conflicts or disagreement. Takes pains to control the situation and its problems by proceeding cautiously. Has sensitivity of feeling and a fine eye for detail.

Your Actual Problem
Depleted vitality has created an intolerance for any further stimulation, or demands on her resources. A feeling of powerlessness subjects her to agitation and acute distress. Tries to escape from this by relinquishing the struggle, and by finding peaceful and restful conditions in which to recuperate in an atmosphere of affection and security.

Your Actual Problem #2
Disappointment at the non-fulfillment of her hopes and the fear that to formulate fresh goals will only lead to further setbacks have resulted in considerable anxiety. She is trying to escape from this into a peaceful and harmonious relationship, protecting her from dissatisfaction and lack of appreciation.

They are innocent!

Children are angels! They are innocent. They are often corrupted if they do not behave they way they are supposed to. I believe they are moldable, if properly taught and nurtured.
Why should we ever allow them to suffer, by any means, either physically, emotionally or mentally!
I do not say this all of a sudden. I feel lament over a family tragedy, whereby one of the members in my family is gonna divorce his wife. They are married with one child, and now that this child is put on the horns of a dilemma.
Anyhow, kinda not surprised with their decision, as they married too young!! Not mature enough. Too many misunderstandings!!
The divorce may be a solution to their unhappy marriage and never ending quarrels and arguements....but just pity their child, who is innocent. The wife took away the child from her husband for 2 months plus already and never let the husband to see his own son. He missed him so much until he kept searching for his photos yesterday, just to see him (in the photo,since he got no chance to keep a contact with him)!
Poor chap, and poor little child.....
I believe nobody wants this to happen!
Sometimes if things do not work out as we wish, we can only let go. Holding on might even cause more damage in the future! (Nobody really knows, it maybe better,or it may become worse). But definitely it's not good for the child.
