the 3rd day in opthalmology posting:
attended an inspiring lecture by Prof.Muhaya (yes, it's her again since we last met her in 1st yr PPD camp, once my idol n now has become a public icon on TV!)
this is the pledge she asked us 2 embrace, which i think is something next 2 impossible for me LOL:
1. to be creative but not competitive
2. to be kind rather than right
3. to be loving
4. to be gentle
5. to be generous
6. to improve my attitude
7. to accept ppl for what they are
(yes, we are all trying 2 be better persons from day to day. n i guess... by this time of age, everyone will definitely be able 2 tell what's right n what's otherwise... it is the implementation of the advice that's difficult...)
i realised dat lectures of opthalmo are much lengthy than of the other postings, and so does the clinic... gues wat?? 2day started 2 stand in clinic for 4 hours in 1 go, and had my lunch at 330pm and ALONE(which looks weird in the hosp cafe)...damn it, so 'lucky' am I 2 b the only chinese in the group (no offence).life couldn be more miserable...
seeing patients in the clinic really punched a hole in my heart. i could see that they are in so much predicament and suffer, yet could do nothing other than watching them struggling to walk and tumbling down due to visual impairment and other co-morbidities. n they had 2 spend the whole morning waiting outside the clinic n sacrifice their lunches jus 2 hav a 5-min session with the opthalmologists for follow-up appointment. im not blaming anyone here... a normal person with conscience n compassion might be disheartened seeing this, and so did i...
may God bless them and alleviate them from suffering as such...
SERVICE IS JOY (quotable quote fr Prof Muhaya)
