i'm currently in a hazy state..haha or rather i'm drugged up..thanks to the wonders of panadeine forte. now i understand why some patients would refuse pain meds..they can make u feel drowsy and nauseas and just disorientated. but of course they do get rid of the pain.. :p

so this week has been about palliative care..symptom relief and morphine and empathetic doctors and crying families of patients :( wards rounds have really been kind of depressing..but at the same time they've been eye-opening..i guess palliative care is really not for everyone..can't say for sure that i won't ever consider doing the specialty myself..but i think its hard to have to detach yourself from your patients but be empathetic towards their situation at the same time.

this week has robbed me of my sleep..haha yesterday we were given a class on steps to undertake in the event of the death of a patient. the tutor asked for a volunteer to be the dead body..haha i was half-tempted to give into the lure of being able to lie down on the hospital bed for awhile..anything to close my eyes and take a quick break from listening to the tutor go on and on..but i quickly decided it would be a bit too creepy..hahah.

happy valentine's day. :) :)
