Much-needed wake-up call

It was a crazy day at the clinic today. But I am so happy to be able to tell patients what I tell them, give them comfort when they needed them.

I have to admit, after my HOship, I was possessed by POWER. The power to sign people's medical certificate, to change people's medications from one to another, the power to claim my hours if I ever work overtime. I felt ENTITLED. I felt FEARLESS. uGH. Seriously, I was disgusting.

(Is it just me or does anyone felt less expressive without emoji??)

I was humbled and brought down to earth again by my experience of being a patient myself. I felt so vulnerable. I hated how the doctors vetoed. I hated their tones. 90% of the doctors and nurses I encountered didn't seem to genuinely care about me. I was treated like a case, not a human being. I gotta admit, it was a slap to my face.

Oh it's 5 pm.

To be continued. gotta go fetch Yusuf.
