Our typical day!

They say early to bed, early to rise will make you strong and wise...

Well, that does not necessarily apply in my med school and probably won’t in the entire coming career, things are quite the other way round in this world (am not complaining, but call a spade a spade, not a big spoon!)

This actually came to my realization this morning when I had to literally drag myself and crawl out of bed into the cold floor tiles which is just the first cold thing among others, you know like showers and all that!

Yes! It wasn’t easy waking up, after several times of sleeping on the morning alarm which produces the most annoying noise in the entire universe I suppose (okay that’s a little too much salt..), I guess this is because from 12 to 1 a.m. in the morning I totally ran out of sleep, FYI nowadays my sleep is like airtime that expires with the expiry date on it. Anyways that was after an unstable studying style which is basically what happens when you have a long list of do to things all packed in one night.

So you actually want to sleep but you are there wondering what to do after a brain freeze and a sleepless head, for an entire hour before heavily and spontaneously falling asleep in wherever the spot you find yourself at that moment, mine is usually diagonal or across the bed and with my height in place my legs usually hangs from the bed!

Now I am sure you can now agree with me that in this little world of ours, where we work ourselves to save others’, its actually late to bed and early to rise, I am not so sure about the strength part though hahaha.

Now let’s go on with the hard talk, the crucial question is, “is it worth it after all?”

I didn’t have an exact answer to this myself either, not until this afternoon when I was busy rejoicing that our last class for today has been dismissed an hour earlier and then walked outside the hospital from where we take our classes, only to find a lot people, crowding to get into the hospital, most of them rained on! only to see how their loved ones admitted in the hospital are doing. This means that there is a lot of trust and responsibility on our shoulders, “I mean people’s lives!” And of course it begins from the scratch, as a med student on your way to becoming a medical personnel.

I beseech myself and you all out there, that in whatever path you have chosen to take, do it to the fullest. The sleepless nights, the crazy schedules and mad-like-lifestyle are all going to be worth it in the end of the day.  Imagine how rewarding is it going to be knowing that you sacrificed your night for a couple of kids to live because you wouldn’t discharge them after their birth because that night when you madly wanted to sleep but didn’t’, you read on the concept of cyanosis instead, and intervention to affected kids, of which according to it you have to observe them a little more?

Don’t you all agree? Do you have a different opinion, are you inspired?
