GP visit

A grand rift from the usual insignificant ‘warming up the lecture theater’s chairs’ sessions, of which am dozing of regularly. I have a reason to believe that I’ve become a nocturnal mammal once more. Was suppose to be a silent observer, but it was nice experiencing ‘real’ medicine once more. We’re currently still stuck in ‘refreshing’ details of a-levels biology but somewhat bullet train speed biochemistry uploads. Sigh…work load increasing.

To stay in context, GP visit was fantastic. My GP was nice. She pointed important issues and none of the patients refused my presence in the room during the consultations. Thankfully there wasn’t a single case of cough and flu - the usual ‘clinic illnesses’. Most of the patients were elderly, so you have osteoporosis, infirmity, hypertension….along the geriatrics line to keep it simple.

Surprisingly there was a termination of pregnancy case, and am still wondering why the GP refused in any instant to refer to the case as being an abortion. I should look it up.

Formal Dinner

It never will make sense why we have to be decked up to have dinner in the hall itself. But yeah, it was worth it. The guys were smart and good looking – they suit-ed up you see. Food was so-so and it ended all too quickly.

Link Party

Something the Notts Malaysian’s Society is proud of – getting seniors and juniors in a group to discuss life and how to get through it cheaply – no thanks to the conversion rate – arg! More free food. Fried rice, murtabak – more soggy and flimsy than I remember it to be, kuih bakar and chicken.

All in all – a better week, considering I don’t refresh my Yahoo Mail page every half and hour to find an email from home. And yes, it’s definitely colder in Nottingham. Sunshine is a privilege!
