The Fragility of Life

Life is so fragile...

I remembered setting a CVP line for an old man who was just admitted for cardiac failure. He was still talking to the children, like nothing ever happen. The next moment, I was doing resuscitation on him, while his life gently fade away and left behind a lifeless and cold body.

It has been my life, or rather my job to save life. Yet sometimes, sometimes life and death is not in my hand. I can do as much as to help. The fragility of life is something I must learn, and adapt well.

(This week I had seen at least 10 deaths)

A New Beginning

A new dawn, tomorrow, it will be. A brand new start. A new page, a new chapter, a new leaf... So many words, yet it means only a thing, I am happy being posted back to Kuantan Hospital to serve my housemanship.

This few weeks I had been undergoing kursus induksi and kem biro tata negara. Tired. Yet happy to catch up with the friends. It was the last chance to gather them together for about 3 weeks to attend a course. Kind of missed them now.

Happy, yet anxious for whatever that may come tomorrow. I had never ventured this far before. Working life was a new thing to me. Whatever the outcome maybe, come what may. I will, I shall and I believe I can face it and deal with it.

All I need now is some sleep. Then some strength, then some luck, then...
