two down…
I know that ALL OF YOU out there are just waiting to hear about how my exams went today (one even called to find out coz cannot wait already.. thanks Ad), so I decided to be considerate and put a post up (sigh, the distances I’d go for my friends)…
P R A I S E G O D for today’s exam - went well!!
I’d never been more calm. I’ve always had a bit of phobia because had a bad experience with gameshow-style exams in 4th year where I just panicked and said stupid things (even semi-argued with the examiners because I misunderstood them… then in another station I addressed a female patient as Mr Grey!! Good thing didn’t get failed for not being able to recognize people of different sexes).
All the stations went well today… except for one part where they put this CT scan thing and asked us to identify the abnormality. I couldn’t see ANY and was panicking because the bell was going to ring anytime… so just wrote something. But none of my friends knew what was going on either… pheww..
And another station we were supposed to certify that a patient is really dead (shine torch in pupil and make sure it’s not reactive, feel for pulselessness, listen to heartbeat/breathing) and it went well except that I almost introduced myself to the patient and greeted her coz I forgot she’s dead (she was an actress pretending to be dead lah)… just that she didn’t act too well because her eyes were open and she was smiling! So it was only natural to say hello… (can’t help it my polite nature just shines)…
God’s hands have just been really evident - the peace, the way He’s guided me to prepare for the exams - reading up the correct things, seeing the right patients, and I had no clue He had been guiding me all this time, until the exact things appear in exams. He sure works in wonderful ways. Thank God for mum’s constant prayers as well, how I wish they allow two people to go up and receive the scroll at the ceremony then mum can go with me also.. hehe..
And thanks friends for all the SMSes… morning calls… "how did it go" calls… coffee at library… cards, prayers, hugs. I’ve tasted of your love and concern =)
