GS is a very trying period of learning how to be patient and meticulous despite the constant pressure of needing to be fast and efficient, to battle with fatigue at 7pm after exits with a thousand things to do, to be the better person despite the negative feelings. There are things to be thankful for; good friendships forged, learning little tidbits about fluid and electrolyte management, understanding more of myself and what I appreciate in a career. Sometimes, many times, these are overshadowed by a whole lot of jobs, changes to do, lists to update.

It's my first and perhaps last weekend off for a while; thankful for rest and a bit of time to be in thought. I really wish that I had a little more time to myself and the people I love, which is why leave is so very precious this posting despite the many an unfortunate circumstance ):

I guess we've all grown alot this year. Hope that as I look back I've learnt alot more than just how to discharge patients more efficiently or which duty radiologist to look for to beg for scans. It's always easy to brush aside the softer parts of medicine when you are crazy busy and talking to someone is the last thing on your mind. But these are the parts that stay the most.
