the insight war

it's weekend. i hate to spend my time rambling on unnecessary matters.
i will rather to sit through my Mitch Albom's For One More Day..
but i have to do justice to those in my field- drugs..
(plus i just read a disturbing entry from a medical student saying how great is doc and so so)

first, the formal attire.
all through my 4years course, our head of the school often EMPHASIZED (a.k.a forced) us to wear formal. formal formal. and formal. *yawn

i always believe in university students life as a space for breaking rules, enjoying to the last, have fun (note: REGARDLESS of whatever course you are in, yes even if u are in so said oh-prestigious medical course *roll eyes*)

hence, all through 4 years, we had lecturers standby daggers on our back all the time...

which afterwards, they gave up lo and let us be
95% of my mates break rules, the 5% dressed so, not because bounded by rules but because of their nerd nature..

i am a person deeply inspired by ruggart-beggar-alike-yet-smartest-ass doctors on dramas/movies.
to note some examples, Meg Ryan in City of Angels (i don't know about u but the part where she cycled rushing to the hospital and music-blasting operation room are so DROP DEAD cool)
i did consider becoming a doc purely due to that less-than-5min scene

sometimes you dont really need to dress up typically FORMALLY to show that u have the brain. however i have to agree on the part "dressing to give better first impression"

hopefully the impression that follows after first will be as good too..

second, i quoted from this medical student

joining a medical school becoming a doctor is like joining an exclusive club.( This is my feeling) All the Profs, Docs, Lecturers all said the same thing: we are different. we etc etc etc.... I wonder do other courses said the same thing?

"exclusive club?!?" whoa..to have the nerve
u think this is rich tai tai's club, golfer's club, or Hermes Prada Salvatore Ferragamo club?!?
and "we are different?!" wahh, how different??(don't wanna address her as doctors as i will prolly accidentally drag those really nice nice doc out there) . you have extra supernatural gift to make the dead alive and magic hand to cure leprosy? or your shyt smells better than us, the not-so-different ones? so that indirectly puts u in the "high society"??

nah!!! #@%%$

fyi, the doctors i knew are all the coolest among cool..and no, they DO NOT like to be different for they will not be able to reach out, and no, they DO NOT like to belong in exclusive clubs for they like to blend in with the "commoners" like us, Your Highness..

and no, my course never said the same thing, i am sure nor does nurses or as a matter of fact, other courses. our lecturers just taught us on the best way to help the society even to the extend of stooping to the lowest to TRY and reach all (poor/rich)...NOT teaching us to PRETEND and ACT like "we are different"

it is NOT a big deal if you are a doctor. it is a big deal if at the end of the day, a patient walks out alive and healthy from your service, smiling with gratitude and brags about how great u are around the town. that is satisfaction

p/s: the above post do not necessary meant all the doc out there. but to those who thinks being medical students itself is the world..

p/p/s: by writing my mind here, does not mean that i can be a better druggist. i dont want to be the perfect one either. i just want a satisfaction from my job. i believe in equality whether u are a health professional, or an engineer, or just a simple office boy to even garbage collector..
