I'm a 3rd year medical student in University of Manchester.

What do I do as a med student? I clerk pts for senior docs, examine them, scrub in theatre ( if ihad a chance), sit on a corner in a clinic, n bombarded with questions in tutorials... sounds boring huh?

What enlightens me is this: I listen not only the symptoms that pts presents, but also how other issues mushroomed out from the ground after rain when they are sick... I show empathy for their circumstances, yet give thanks to the One above for His greatness and goodness in life...

In clinic, ppl came with many reasons... Many would anxiously know whats the blood test has shown, or complaining the long waiting list, or complain about the side effect of the drug... At the other end of the spectrum, ppl are just tired out the chronic circumstances that they had put themselves in, some came with suicidal thoughts, n some even would beg the doc to save their lives...

As for me, Im just trying to become a better person, a better healer..
