2 weeks Peadiatrics Posting at KK Hospital

Ok.. i am not looking forward to this posting at all.. anything got to do with KK Hospital, I am totally not interested. Why? Cos, it involves mums-to-be, newborns and children. To some extent , it gives me some pressure.

I will be asked of the same old questions again and again. It's like Chinese New Year.. when relatives asked why we don't have children or when or aren't we going to have any. Oooo.. u know having one is a must... well of cos i would like to have one... why ask me? wonder if the men got questioned too.. ? InFertililty or not ... I think such questions should not be asked.. they must stop questioning childless couple.. it can be very sensitive to some, for some may not have the answer for it.. or some wants it to be confidential... or some just don't like to talk about it .. i just feel that it's quite insensitive of those who asked.

I hope I won't breakdown when i see sad cases.. I hope i don't need to help any social workers to translate in malay.. i will get affected by their family affairs and child's condition. I hope i don't get too emotionally attached to any of the children so that i can leave the ward without having to think too much about their illness and how they gonna to cope...

Going to take a short nap now.. my shift starts at 1pm, ends at 9pm.

I wish I could skip this posting... it's gonna be a long day..
