3-day week

my days of the week: pre-duty, duty, from-duty. the conventional 7-day week doesn't exist for me anymore until i go on solo duty which is not gonna happen in another 3 to 4 months. but i'm not complaining, really. in fact, compared to other training programs in other departments, mine is far better.

i don't go on chart rounds, patient rounds, consultant rounds, sweating and puffing while going from one floor to another, from one end of the building to the other or from building to building. all i do the whole day is look at x-ray plates, use my my x-ray vision, i.e, imagination, then write what i see or can't see.

when i leave the hospital after work, i still feel fresh and even look fresh (well, most of the time). the general feeling is light, somewhat stress-free and not the usual toxicity associated with other fields. just right for me. the only downside i see for now is the callous on my right middle finger which is getting bigger everyday from all the writing i do. even a soft rubber around the pen is of no help for my calloused finger.

today, i am pre-duty so that means, i'm going to be on duty for thirty-something hours tomorrow. and so i end this lousy post...
