Moving on to my next job, Urology next Wednesday. Sure gonna miss the relaxed pace and ample senior support in Respiratory. Nevertheless, I do think it is time to move on too, to learn new things.
received feedback from my tutor/supervisor regarding my performance over the last four months today. quite pleased actually. He said 'you really did go for it, and you got more out of this rotation than the others because u went for it'. He was referring to the Audit project that i did with Gareth, my FY2. The project for which i get out of bed 1 hour early everyday, including Saturday and Sunday to collect data over the span of 1 month. hard work, but the consultants liked it when me and Gareth presented it. Of course, Gareth's done loads, especially on data interpretation and analysis, which i have very little inkling of.
He also said, at the consultant meeting earlier, my name was mentioned, and they said i should 'train' the next batch of FY1's on how to operate the TRAK (in the past 4 months, I have been operating the computer system to bring up x rays, CT's and discharge letters during the ward rounds). Ian would laugh his head off. Me, computer illiterate at home. to educate people in using the computer. ahahaha. eat your shoes, Ian.
then went out grocery shopping with Ayano (Japanese who grew up in Msia, who owns a car and always kind enough to offer to drive me to grocery shopping). Casual conversation-ing, she mentioned that she was doing an audit presentation too. I guess i shouldnt be surprised. I wasnt that big-headed to think that i was the only one working hard to advance my career. I was just surprised that something that took this much effort (eh, really, a lot a lot of hard work. And you do it in your own time, not during working hours) is just this common. Something i took so much pride in being able to complete, cheh...a lot of other people also got la.
Still, I am proud that I have worked hard and obtained good results from it. I take pride in every little achievement/progress i've made. that's how i thrive. However, also, I've decided, this tells me i need to keep working hard, perhaps even harder. And gambate i shall.
