SAVING one lives is NOT THAT easy after all. classes on ethics and law has been driving me crazy. It's all about the patient's autonomy and THEIR decision. our job is only to FACILITATE and in the end, the decision is all up to the patient. it's like - as a doctor, you want to perform an operation to save the person's life, but, if the patient choose to REFUSE the treatment, u've just gotta oblige n go with the decision. it's so hard, u wanna help, but yet you cant. i guess, u have to live with it, do the best that i can.
and... i'm still pretty afraid to hold the BIG RESPONSIBILITY of life. some times, i was just thinking, i would not want to have such HIGH authority. it scares me. A slip of my own hands can cause so much harm even to the extent of fatal harm. that day i was having a practical on injection. and i realised HOW EASY it is to just commit a mistake. just accidentally putting slight air into the patient's body can cause FATAL harm. oh mai, just such a SMALL mistake, can already cause so much harm. i really got to be so careful, n i'm afraid i cant live up to it.
but still, i believed God brought me into this line of medicine for a reason. and May He, with time, take away all this fears. =)
oh well, on a brighter note. i realised that no matter where i go, i receive the labels of CRAZINESS! anyhow, i still MISS the people that i FEEL MOST AT HOME, MOST COMFORTABLE WITH, and MOST BELONGED with - my SAM frens! i miss everyone of them. and as i go through each day, i can imagine them here at the moment, n situations and actually imagining what they would do/react.
remember how the car actually STOP for this picture! HEHE!
