I started my last major posting in this hospital today - Medicine. It was the one subject that I truly loved - not because I followed a good textbook, not because of any superb teachers, not at all because of a good clinical exposure in terms of patients, hell, not even because of any hot residents/interns/teachers. I just loved it. There is a scientific method to be followed in diagnosis; and clinical examination is really an art. In Surgery you need investigations to assist you; Gynae and Obs is limited in scope and variations. But Medicine - it remains a rare fusion of Art, gained only by practice and Science, acquired only by sheer hard work and (more importantly) Common Sense.
Lets see how it goes.. I got into the most hectic Unit with 2 OPDs a week (the other units have 1) and it is run by the HOD himself. To top it all, the person in charge of attendance/performance of the interns, a strange little sadistic creature is also one of the lecturers here. Great. Another 2 eventful months. I tried to get out of it by fabricating stories of fake classes on OPD days but the sadist told me to either leave the classes or get an authorized letter proving I have classes on that day - and on doing that I still wouldn't be allowed to change units, I'll only be allowed to exchange my OPD days with someone else.
Looks like my college won't be letting go of me without trying to bestialize me one final time.
