So far so good

Well, it seems that I'll have some time to relax before beginning my first posting, Paeds. Which is apparently one of the more difficult rotations....gulp!

For the last 2 days, have been listening to briefings from various departments. Hope I can remember half the stuff I heard. Paperwork's almost done tho(everything here's done on paper!)

Signing Up for Service

Wow, life's been a whirl since returning from the combined Induction +BTN course for new House Officers.

Today, I stepped into the hospital for the first time as a doctor...well sort of. They're still plenty of forms I need to fill in and numerous briefings to attend before I'll be allowed on the ward. Can't believe the amount of paperwork I've had to fill in. Written my dad's and mom's IC numbers so many times now I can practically recite them in my sleep.

Just found out my first posting will be Paeds. Looks like cries of screaming children will be ringing in my ears for the next couple of months. Will write more later, need to get some shut-eye as I've got loads to do tomorrow.

First day's over....Day 2 of work is coming. Let's see how it turns out.
