9am: Wake up.

9.30am: Drive to work and park at designated spot reserved for doctors ONLY

10am: Morning tea with consultants and other senior doctors, exchanging witty remarks and jokes, getting a pat on the back for having finished med school.

11am: Ward rounds - patiently and cleverly advising patients about their various ailments, full of empathy and care

12pm: Lunch break - meeting up with other interns and exchanging our amazing stories of how 6 years of uni has totally geared us up for this. We are totally focused towards giving our best care to our patients, just like what we started out to be.

1pm: Walking around the wards, getting the nurses to do things. Once in a while stopping to hear patients’ concerns. Some paperwork in between, proudly signing my initials next to important documents and prescriptions.

3pm: Afternoon tea

3.30pm: Seeing patients. Hearing their complaints about symptoms they have been experiencing, listening intently into the stethoscope and hearing every wheeze and abnormal heart sound. Informing them of their diagnosis, followed by steps they need to do to get well. And of course, ending with the advice that "prevention is better than cure"

5.00pm: People wave goodbye as I leave for home… as I gave a slight nod to acknowledge them.

……………

The reality….
6.30am: RINGggggggggggggggg!! And Penny wakes up from her fantasy.

All I can say is… thank God for dumbcredits! I am totally maxing mine out.
