Goodbye Nima, Welcome Back Ongy
It has recently been a time of mixed emotions. Initially I was sad that a good friend is about to leave Melbourne for work. But this sadness was tempered by the news that another good friend has returned to Melbourne for work. So I guess the net number of friends I have around remains the same hehehe.
Seems everyone I am friends with these last few years has graduated, found work, and moved forward in their lives (myself included). But where is 'forward' for me? What paths are open to me, and what path should I take? Can I have everything I want in life, or do I have to compromise? Can I have my cake and eat it too? Time will tell. For over a year now I have known that I would have to make a decision about whether to stay in Melbourne or go back to NSW. But I have consistently deferred making a decision, using procrastination as a means to distract myself from the difficult decision that faces me. I think about all the people out there less fortunate than me, and chastise myself for thinking I have it so hard because of this decision I have to make. After all I have a roof under my head, people who I care about and who care about me, a stable job, enough money to feed and clothe myself. But suffering, like most things, is relative. I feel as though I am suffering, with a weight on my shoulders that I know how to remove but don't have the strength to actually do it.

OMG Starcraft....those were the days. Brings back the memories...zergling rushes and protoss carriers and nukes with ghosts...haha. Think i'll go install starcraft again..on my Macbook via Parallels.

I got a Macbook a few weeks ago and it is sweet. Good timing as my old PC desktop's hard drive died on me. Well actually it was more like I killed it when I was putting it into an external hard drive enclosure so I could use it on the Macbook. I lost so much important stuff, but luckily most of my photos and music was on another hard drive, and the photos I lost I can recover from other people. I checked out services to recover lost data from broken hard drives, and for hardware faults (as mine most probably is, as it doesn't even spin up), it costs at least $1500, up to $3500 to get the data off it. As important as my lost data may be, I not sure it is worth that much. Worse bit is, I don't even remember exactly what I lost on that hard drive...so can't judge if it is worth it. Anyway, back to Macbook...here's an ode to Mac Pro, but it could easily apply to my Macbook too :)

Heimlich
I just love Postsecret. I've posted about this site before (years ago?), but it's a new year so why not? That is my feeble excuse :) I nearly always find someone's secret that speaks to me, a secret that I ashamedly admit (to myself) to share. This week's update had one that I've definately felt before, though only briefly. Maybe not the Heimlich manoeuvre, but CPR. I'm so evil...
(edit: My desire to perform CPR is so I can perhaps save someone's life and appear a hero if only for a moment. Somebody told me they thought I wished to perform CPR just so I could put my lips on someone else's...so thought I'd clarify :).

Goodbye 2006, Hello 2007
I update this blog so infrequently that nearly every time I do bother to write something, I want to start with "It's been a long time since I've posted...". Well that is kind of boring and pointless, so I won't do that this time hehe. It has been over two months though since I've posted anything, and a lot has happened in these two months. I had my last ever exams as a student, I went on a road trip with my gf around the south-east coast of Victoria, I graduated, I went to Hong Kong for ten days, and I went on a cruise with my family to New Caledonia and Vanuatu.
Also, in a bit over two weeks time, I will be starting my working life. I look forward to the regular income and not having to study as much, but the long hours and paper-pushing shitwork that is part of being an intern isn't as appealing. But it should be a good experience and I do hope to learn a lot of things.
Soon it will be 2007 and the topic of NY resolutions again rears its head. My previous resolutions have not been overly ambitious in my opinion, yet I don't think the resolutions were achieved or maintained. This article shed some light as to why that may be so. The author of the article believes that change rarely, if ever, is achievable as "problems" are part of ones make-up and not amenable to change. But I still think that the desire to change, to improve oneself, to strive to learn from ones failings, is a nobel intent and one worth at least the effort of drawing up a NY resolutions list. Even if it doesn't go much further than that :)

What a Shitty Day
Title of this post says it all. Well not really, so let me elaborate. Saw some cool rare stuff today at the GP that I'm currently posted at, like a patient with Volkmann's contracture and another patient with dextrocardia (heart on the right instead of the left!), the GP told me to examine the man, hoping to trick me, but I picked it correctly! Actually his abdo organs were swapped too, so liver on left etc, but i forget the medical term for that. But then something really really scary happened, but I think I should be ok.
Then later I put huge scratches on the side of my car because of shitty parking. I am normally so careful with parking but this time I wasn't, I was tired and the garage is tiny so hard to manoeuver into, so i scrapped it against the corner of my garage opening, now I have scratches about 30cm high and abt 30 cm long on the side >< They kinda superficial so might be able to reduce the ugly appearance with some polish, but the scratches will still remain.
Then later still, someone became pissed off at me for something I have very little control over. The entire situation is a good example of being stuck between a rock and a hard place, and no matter what I do, someone is going to get pissed off. I really don't need this shit less than 3 weeks before my final exams ><
Well as they say, tomorrow is another day...

Battlestar Galactica.
Best. Show. Ever.
Don't roll your eyes just because it is "sci-fi", it is so much more than that. It is a spell-binding examination of human frailty and imperfection. It gives insight into what people will do and will risk in desperate times. It delves intelligently into current issues such as the Iraq occupation, except from the viewpoint of the occupied people struggling to fight against their oppressive occupiers. It makes the viewer question whether terrorist tactics such as suicide bombing are justifiable in the name of freedom.
Buy the DVDs, borrow it from a friend, dl it from BT, whatever. Just watch it.

Long Time No See
It has been a long time since I've posted, mainly due to laziness and time-constraints. A lot has happened these last few weeks (months?). Let me try to remember what has happened since my last non-random post.
1) During the mid-year break we got our intern job offers for next year, and I got offered a job at Austin Hospital, which was my first preference...woot! Think I just scrapped in since a lot of my friends didn't get in, and of the people who I know who did get in, they are all much smarter than I. So guess I'll be the dumbest intern at Austin...how wonderful.
2) Started this semester at the Northern Hospital, on the northern outskirts of Melbourne. I was in a surgical unit under the hilarious Mr Hong, who is known by us med students not only as an excellent if eccentric teacher, but also as the father of two twins who are both studying medicine in my year, and who are both hardcore smart. Apparently one twin got 1st in the state for his VCE, and the other got 6th in the state. Sounds like a very intense household.
3) I had my wisdom teeth taken out during the second week of my surgical rotation, thinking that it would be a simple day procedure, and I'd need one day, maybe two days tops for recovery, then I'd be back at uni. But things didn't turn out that way. I had it done under general anaesthetic under recommendation from my surgeon, and when I woke up from the GA I was drowsy as hell and coughing terribly. Only later when I was more lucid was I told tat I had aspirated some blood since the incompetent anaethetist pulled out my endotracheal tube too soon. Since it was only a day surgery centre, I had to be transferred to a tertiary hospital for assessment, then to a private hospital for convalescence. This entailed two ambulance trips, which worried me since in Victoria you have to pay around $800 per ambulance trip if you haven't bought ambulance insurance, and I had not bought it! The 2nd of the ambulance trips would have been especially outrageous, since the trip was literally 100m down the road and took barely 2 minutes. But luckily I still haven't gotten any bill yet for the ambulance trips, and I think it was because they knew I was a medical student and didn't charge me (this is somewhat common practice, for example my two previous surgeries also didn't cost me anything). So anyway, I stayed two nights in a private hospital and it was pretty sweet: private room, excellent hospital food (seriously!), nice nurses (except for the gay male nurse who I swear was watching me sleep...), and nothing to do but lounge around and watch tv or read newspapers. But I was fairly dependent on supplemental oxygen for those two days, as I would get light-headed from oxygen desaturation whenever I tried going without the oxygen, or if I was exerting myself in any minor way (mundane things like having a shower or going for a walk down the hall). Guess I have a bit of understanding now how it feels for a patient to be sick and in hospital, and how terrible it is for your body to be weak and unwell. At least in my case I knew that I would get better quickly, so my weakness didn't get me down. I don't think other patients (especially the old ones) necessarily have that hope.
4) My housemate and I had been thinking about moving out of the city for a little while, and two days after I got out of the hospital I decided to put up some ads around Melb Uni, to force myself out of the house (since I wasn't well enough to return to Northern Hospital to resume my studies). The ads were basically to find someone to take over our lease, since we still had about 4-5 months to go before it ended. The very next day after I put up the ads, I get a call from some two girls who wanted our apartment and wanted it in one weeks time! Not being prepared for such a quick response (and I think not really being mentally prepared for the eventuality of actually having to move), we quickly had to find a suitable place in the area we wanted, apply for the place, pack and move all our stuff, all in one week! Luckily the girls managed to delay when they needed our place by one week, and we managed to do everything in time. But it was such a crazy two weeks, especially after just having been sick. I think we located about 30-40 suitable apartment ads, inspected about 10 of them, applied for about 6 of them, got rejected by 2 (but they were so damn nice that they would've had lots of applications), and finally got offered 2 places. The place we eventually moved into was offered to us a day after a less suitable place was offered to us and we had accepted, so I had to ring the agent for the less suitable place and tell her that we were renegading on our original agreement to take the place. Since we hadn't signed the contract yet there was nothing she could do, but she sounded so disappointed (since she did a lot of paperwork to get the contract ready for us to sign), so I felt pretty scum...hahah oh well, the important thing was that I got the place I wanted :)
5) After finishing the 5 week surgical rotation, I'm currently back at the Austin Hospital doing a 5 week medical rotation. The hospital had a new ward tower built last year, so the wards are very clean and beautiful, and the student common room is huge and fantastic. Lots of comfy couches, a pool table, a table tennis table, and facilities for making lunch. Saw the junior doctor's rooms and they are even better, with a massive plasma tv and dvd player, so can't wait to use that next year! Going to Grand Round is usually the highlight of my week at the hospital, which is basically a presentation done by a different specialty unit each week, then the best bit, a fantastic free lunch paid for by drug companies! And with the Intern education session having free lunch (which we students go to), and talks by either medical insurance companies or accounting firms nearly every week (with free lunch of course), I barely have to bring my own lunch twice a week! But I can see why some older doctors are so fat...hahah...all these free lunches aren't too healthy.
6) Med Ball! Shamefully this is the first time I've been in the 6 years I've been doing med, tho I have been to two Pharmacy and two college balls in past years. The theme was "Glitz and Glamour - Spend a Night in Monaco", and they gave us fake money to use on casino tables they had set up (playing poker, blackjack and roulette), so that was pretty unique. The food was nothing special and the bar tab at the afterparty was non-existent, so the value-for-money was terrible, but the night was still very enjoyable and memorable. Here are some photos:
7) A scary thing happened last week. I was on ward round on Friday afternoon (the only reason I was still in the hospital at the time was to go to a talk by a medical insurance company, with you guessed it, free food and drinks), and I got a page from the clinical school. I called them, and they said that Melb Uni had placed a ban on all student taking blood and put in IV cannulae, because a 4th year student had gotten a needlestick injury while taking blood, and the patient was HIV positive! Apparently the student was inexperienced and was being supervised by a doctor, but the doctor should not have asked the student to do it in the first place. Surely the doctor knew that patient was HIV positive...maybe he/she forgot or didn't think about it ><" The worst bit is the student won't know for certain if they have contracted HIV for another 3 months. 8) To end on a happier note, my cousin Stella has recently gotten married! Congrats to Stella and Michele! My sister got to goto New York for the wedding, so lucky!

1) 18 Tricks To Teach Your Body - I'm not convinced that they are all true or would work. I'm especially unconvinced about number 10, since the explanation seems illogical, and I know that I personally get stitches only when I go running and I'm unfit (like yesterday). When I was fit (e.g. when I used to play competitive soccer), I'd never get stitches.
2) Video Games Stereotype Asians - I don't remember there being Asians in Warcraft III.
3) Public Hospital Doctors Happy To Score 9% Pay Victory - Yay pay rise! For next year anyway.

1) Top 5 Myths About America
Bashing America, it's all a bit too easy really...but this was interesting, especially myth #4 and #5.
2) Lateral Thinking
3) Interesting article. There's a saying that in war, history is written by the victor. Well this opinion piece expands on that, with reference to the current Israel-Lebanon conflict.
4) Zidane. What can I say that hasn't already been said? A brilliant player whose career ending on a low point. But whether Materazzi really deserved the headbutt (Zidane should've headbutted Grosso instead for cheating Australia), I believe that people will remember Zidane more for his great career and the joy he brought to the masses, rather than this one unfortunately incident that proved that even the greats are human.
What is it with Italian soccer and cheating? The Azzurri did it in the World Cup, now Juventus, Fiorentina and two other clubs are relegated for match fixing. They are a country with so many talented players, why do they need to cheat? If only they were as good at playing fairly as they are at making people pay outrageous prices for pasta dishes (i mean $15 for something that must cost them less than $5? It's just pasta, cream, and tiny morsels of meat!)
One last thing about Italy and the World Cup that really pissed me off. What happened to Fabio Grosso after he cheated Australia for THAT penalty. If there was justice in this world, if one believed in the concept of karma, then he'd have broken his leg the next game or something. But no, he goes on to score the winning goal (and a ripper of a goal) in the semi-final against Germany, then scores the last penalty in the penalty shoot-out in the final to win Italy the World Cup. God is cruel.
