and its friday yet again! i'm scared by how fast time is flying by...there's just not enough time! help :(

this week is geriatrics...i've got a scary tutor who walks really quickly..and us poor medical students are forced to literally run after her on the wards and up the stairs..yes unfortunately she just loves taking the stairs over the elevator..the other day she flew up 8 flights of stairs and she had to wait at the top for us while we were panting our way up behind her. and she does this wearing heels! i think its her long legs. she's really tall! and i don't think she realises how fast she's actually walking.

haha but i have the feeling she's actually pretty nice la. she interacts really well with her patients:) most of the geriatric specialists do actually..but obviously one has to like working with old people to be in this field. most of the old patients i've seen so far have been really sweet actually..you just have to be patient with them.

haha there was this cute lady who declared one minute that she never had children. then in the next moment she was proudly telling us that she had 3 sons Joseph, Michael and Henry. Joseph is apparently a really good boy:) in retrospect, its quite sad that she can't even remember if she has children..but its bittersweet to think that she was very happy with the family she had in mind. she kept going on about how much she loves her sons. i hope...that when i get old and grey and demented..i will at least remember the people i love, or at least remember the happiness i feel when i think of these people.
