Quickie

Quick update instead due to lack of better things to say.

At Frankston at the moment ( read: a hospital in a land far far away) and finishing up paeds rotation here for the next four weeks. Lots of broken people around. Sad lives and sad stories. Just take a walk around the ED after hours and it's like walking through this maze of everything that can go wrong that went wrong, except that most of it are a result of ugly human behaviour and not nature.The thing I can't accept is how normal everyone makes it to be.

Have to be 'on-call' one night a week. Student on-call rooms very nice with clean sheets, computers and kitchen. The only drawback is the path leading to the student lounge. Dark, narrow with a locked door every 2o metres that requires me to flash my super-cool card in front of the sensors to get to the next dark and narrow corridor. Also this part of the hospital used to be the old hospital before they built the new section. I reckon a lot of people had died there.

So didn't sleep overnight yesterday but maybe will try next week if there's company. A lot to say inside but words won't form. I'll leave it at that. Someone passed away over the weekend. He was from my batch. Not close but he was in my class. I forget how easily anyone can disappear from our lives. It could have been anyone. Reminds me how precious lives are. I miss my friends back home. I need to call my family soon. Who can gurantee I will see them again? Who can gurantee they will see me again?
