One week has passed by and I never got the time to write a blog entry. Do night shift from 8 pm to 8 am-come home-freshen up-have breakfast-go to sleep-get up and get fresh-have somethin to eat-run to hospital again. This was the routine. Oh I'm so glad casualty night shifts are over!!! But I had fun too. Actually, it just depends on the people who are working with you. If they are jolly people, you will have your part of fun :) And I did, except for some two days.
My first day was really something I'll never forget. Not because anything special happened, but just because it was 'The First Day' and I'm sure nobody will ever forget their first day. Lots of patients, my previous shift intern telling me that its too hectic while she was giving me charge, asking help and suggestions for almost everything possible, a brand new name plate with a white background (for those who are not from my college, medical students have name plates with black background and interns have those with white background) and more than everything,the feeling of hanging my steth over my neck for the first time!!It just felt WOW!! It was the transition day from a student to intern and the experience was nice. We just started so naive and tryin to find out as many things as possible. The only thing that I didn't like was that there was no proper duty doctors' room where I could relax and I was so very deprived of sleep..
The later days of my internship were actually better than the first day. A senior intern was posted and she was so much fun to work with. We had our share of ups and downs at work, but had fun too. The fact that she was around made problems so much easier to deal with. Really, I couldn't have asked for a better co-intern to start my internship with.She's finished casualty postings today and I'm gonna miss her for sure from tomorrow. Will miss you Nishika :-( and will miss your 'maja mari' and our 'musk melon juice' breaks :-) Wish I get such people to work with again!! At the end of the day, It feels great. The good feeling outweighs the problems :) and ya, Im still hoping things go well :)
p.s.: 22.3.09 - my first sunday at work :)
