Trey, I'll miss you

My previous post was too depressing. Let's lighten up a lil bit. I have a good news, I passed my paediatric term! Praise to Allah, Alhamdulillah. I feel like hugging both Prof W and Dr. M, they taught me a lot during this term. We're baking something for the paeds doctors, as a thank-you note. Hope they know how much we appreciate what they've done for us.

10 things I love about paediatrics:

1. It gives me a really good insight on the challenges of being a parent.
2. Give me an idea how the kids think and how to handle that.
3. It gave me an apportunity to handle the newborns, which I have never done before. This is priceless, the fact that the parents trust me to hold their baby is enough to make me feel so grateful.
4. To indulge myself in a world full of cuteness.
5. To appreciate the simple gestures from children, ticking the boxes that they're not autistic.
6. Not hating children for being naughty or disobedient, cuz almost always, it's really not their fault.
7. Work shoulder-to-shoulder with the smartest, most compassionate and caring doctors in the world.
8. Learn a whole lot of parenting skills and reflect what we have commonly seen and how wrong they are.
9. Learn to write different kinds of history and how to talk to anxious parents.
10. To see the children smiling, waving goodbye at you after their stay in the hospital; most rewarding feeling ever.

I'm gonna miss all of these. But life goes on. And now, hello Oncology!
