I love wrinkles. I think it is that something about old people that makes me want to give them all a hug. In the course of my geriatrics posting, I have discovered that for every one person that talks to a child in the
paediatric voice, there is another who talks to an elderly with a
geriatric voice. It is that gentle, LOUD but slow voice that breaks up into a smile at each toothy grin. :9 Never fail to be amazed at clinical acumen - the ability to see an entire pathophysiology at the feeling of a pulse, and the extrapolation of an entire story from a 5 minute history given. Amazing.
M5 is zooming by too quickly. In the midst of lots of stress, practicing and exams, I have realized the importance of encouragement, and tact. It is easy to be curt and selfish, make snide remarks - but altogether not realize it. At the end of a long day, an encouraging SMS and a cold beer makes all the difference. Thankful for people who ask after and pray for me. Praying for lots of sustenance and grace.
