GP posting

its been two days since ive done my gp posting. and so far, i am enjoying it. now that i am near the end of the first phase, i can finally put to use everything which i have learned, including behavioural sciences. I've always thought bs WAS bullshit but surprise, surprise,there are patients who display the overly worried syndrome. I mean, learning it in class is one thing, and seeing it for real is another thing. And i'm beginning to see the fun side of just doing gp.
I've also learned that if i were to really take dermatology, it would take me another seven years before i become one. Now i'm really thinking of other options. by the time i finish dermatology, i'd be 40 years old! too old. now what shall i do?
but i have to admit derma is so interesting. i was at the clinic and i saw such a wonderful variety of skin diseases. i was also shocked that sarawak is lacking in so many specialists. the state only has one dermatologist, one endocrinologist etc. amazing... i guess everyone went overseas.This is sad fo a population of 2 million people. ah, what to do.... what to do in the future.....
My cold is getting better, but now i;m developing a sore throat. and i forgot to buy my lozenges. i went to a clinic today, and the guy dr. fodzer used to be my dad's old mentor. yikes, as dr lim , who was also managing the clinic said 'now its a complete cirle' !
Dr. Fodzer is an interesting guy because he was one of the first few surgeons in sarawak. his mother was famous for being a feminist and against polygamy. i am told that both his parents are indians, but he looks like a euro, and a good-looking one at that. i shall be meeting him tomorrow, but i am scared because he might compare me with my father. today i also saw a lot of diabetic cases, and its scary that diabetes is on the rise in malaysia, and all over the world as well. And the worst thing is that it can be inherited in families.
The doc in charge of me is very nice, they all take the time to explain stuff to me, even though at times my face might be blank (cue derma!). I've also learned that many doc's kids are at lodge, and a lot of ppl from kuching are studying in imu. the docs couldn't believe it when i told them the passing mark was B. This is due to all the stress caused by partner medical schools.
i've just finished watching the movie salem's lot,but i have yet to finish reading the book. so far, i havent' been dissapointed by any of the stephen king books i read. hopefully it stays that way!
