yesterday marked a very memorable occasion, i finally took my oath as a licensed physician. yipee. it was kinda stressful but nonetheless a very joyous afternoon. Uttering the Hippocratic Oath was a mixed feeling of triumph and at the same time the weight of responsibility attached to it. Beside me were my friends whom I've been with through the ups and downs of med school. It was a nice feeling that our parents were there to witness the fruit of their labor. not everyone is given the chance to study medicine, and i am one of those lucky people who've been sent to med school and was supported all the way by my parents, in all aspects. Sadly, it was a quick program, after which i was not able to see some friends whom i wanted to have photo taken with. the evil heels hit again hahaha. I realized maybe it will be a long time before I will see good friends again. Everyone will take different paths of their own...Gone are the days of eating together, of mocking and fooling around, *separation anxiety*...another chapter has closed...Hello residency, please be good to us *crossed-fingers*
This entire application process is really tedious. I thought that being called for preres is good enough. Well of course it's just the beginning. Im just exagerrating when i say tired. Actually this observation period is way benign than u could imagine. Post-boards syndrome. Someone i know quitted after one duty (observership). Maybe i feel the same thing. I want a longer break. I want my free time, no responsibilities, no schedule to follow. Maybe i just enjoyed the relief of finishing the entire trail to becoming a doctor that i wanna enjoy it longer. Haist im still praying. Im so lucky actually that some would want to be in my position. But then sometimes following your heart could lead to better results. im still confused.
