Finally went to the XLB buffet! :)

Finally recess week has arrived and i only have 4 days left to prepare myself for my tcm finals. Argh. I shall not start complaining about it. I want to talk about my internship at tong chai! I've only been there twice, and i've learnt so much already. It is very different from the stuff we learn in books - real patients have complications like hypertension, diabetes, mental illness, tumours that the doctor has to take care of in addition to the main illness that the patient is suffering from. Very often the patients turn to tcm only when western medicine cannot help much. So we get to see medical reports, x-rays, western medicine etc and it's amazing to see how much the doctor knows about them. I also got to experience acupuncture for the first time in my life - not done by the doctor, but by my fellow classmate! haha. how scary is that! And its really fascinating that i feel the numbness only when the needle hits the acupoint and no where else! I'm still nursing a blue-black from that session, seems like a vessel was hit :(

Now i'm very inspired to study hard and be a good doctor like my lecturers and the doctors! I shall mug now!
