A salute to my seniors

After 2 continuous nights of paediatric on-calls and extreme tiredness, I finally can relax myself sitting in front of my laptop, serving internet and listen to my favourite My FM. Though busy, i think a lot these few days, as my seniors got their final MBBS results this Monday and finally graduated from this faculty.

Of course i felt happy for them, as this must be the long-waited moment for them for the past 5 years and having struggled through the tough Final MBBS examination. But at the same time, I also felt a little bit of upset because another batch of seniors is leaving us again, meaning we are getting older and older!!! And another reason is, it is our time having the Final MBBS about the same time next year!!!

Suddenly think of the time my friends and I were being scolded by our super seniors and seniors, from 1st year to 2nd year to 3rd year to 4th year, it was just like happened at the speed of light. Few months before, I still called myself as "4th year" as my other friends do, especially when the lecturers ask us "what year are you? How come question like this also cannot answer?" And it seem to be protective from being scolded severely by lecturers. However in less than 2 weeks time, the new doctors are going to leave this faculty, leaving us behind as medical students, and we have to call ourselves as "5th year" or "final year" that time. And the reaction I would expect from my lecturers would be "You final year already ya? How come question like this also cannot answer? This is unforgivable!!!"

Ok ok. What to do? I am now in phase 3B, a 5th or final year student, a super senior. I am supposed to know this and that, how to diagnose this and that, the principle of management of this and that, in details!!! Also need to clerk patients, follow up patients, stay in the wards, on calls, and get chased away by staff nurses... This is the real life of a final year student, or in fact, it is just a preparation for the future housemanship. I believe this is not going to be a problem for me, because I can do what my seniors can do also what? My seniors are my role model, wish to experience the same happiness as they got their results that day.

It is time to live without seniors, 1 more year to go, MBBS, going to end very soon.

以前看super senior很威，现在才知道doctor senior才是真正的威！！
