Haven't posted in ages...been back in Melbourne since 30th Jan, had a week to get my apartment and everything else in order and to spend some quality time with someone special to me. Been back at the hospital for the last 4 days...very stressful and busy and hectic and lots of info-overload from crazy consultants and registrars who know freakishly large amounts of minutiae...dunno if i need or want to ever know so much about such a narrow field. Reminds me of what my research supervisor once told a group of us students, "Any specialist, in the true sense of the word, is an idiot." What he meant was that anybody who knows lots about a particular area, but only about that area, is stupid...because it is important to be knowledgable about a wide breadth of things...after all, there is a big wonderous world outside of the hospital, thought it is hard to realise sometimes. Anyway, i'll be happy if i'm a competent doctor who doesn't kill my patients...they often sick enough on their own, don't need me to force them to walk down the dark tunnel towards the light...
