The orthopod!
I always think of this blog when I am feeling lonely, unhappy, stress, fed-up. Yeah, any negative emotions. And only when I am very negative only. So, unfortunately for a few souls in this planet that know this blog, it is all the moaning and the wenging they get.
This is such a big hospital. Only 2 weeks since I left, I realized that everything has changed after my return. Nothing seems familiar, no one seem familiar. There is never a sense of belonging in this place. Never. It is constantly flowing, moving so fast that people's memory did not seem to get the time to register.
I did an audit with an orthopaedic surgeon. That took me a solid whole week as a medical student, sitting in front of the computer, doing the boring audit. That guy rang me everyday at the oddest time ever, and weekends too, to make sure that I got things done in the quickest time. He always sound so cordial on the phone.
Sometimes in May, he rang me up and told me that the paper got published as an abstract. I was delighted. I asked for a copy of the abstract so that I can put it in my CV. And that is when my phone calls always go into his voice mail, that is when he hung up on me. He told me he cannot send a copy through email because his email is NOT RELIABLE. Simply lame!!
Somehow I managed to hunt him down at one of the fracture clinic, he didn't even look at me, told me he was busy and turned his back on me. I can never understand why people can be so rude. I never understand why he even bother to ring to tell me that it was published. I never understand.
Irony, all the sweet cordial phone calls when he needed things done, and now things done and I am not needed anymore, and thus the cold voice and the shunting away.
Such are the qualities of doctors!!
