Reflections...

I have just completed my first block of my internship programme. Its been three months since i have started working.I can confidently say that i have no regrets whatsoever being in the field i am in. Although things can get pretty mundane at times but there are always people to cheer you up.

During the course of my work(where i started to feel that patients come and go and will eventually forget you someday), i got plesant surprises. I had an ex patient visiting me and my fellow members just to check on how we are. That was very nice of him. I have this old lady who is a reccurent case. She was demoralised and down to know that she has been diagnosed with cancer again that she was relectant to come for treatment. She came about an hour late for her first treatment because she refused to get out of the house. Her daughter told me that her mother, my patient found me very warm and that encouraged her to come for her treatments daily and mind you she is always fifteen minutes early now..Ahem.. Somehow i did not know that i could make a difference in such a manner. But i guess everything you do will cause some hurt or happiness in this world right?

This brings me to the second topic of office politics. Office politics or rather any kind of politics are created by man themselves. I know of someone who once said that he\she will not be part of office politics but what a surprise...he\she is actually part of it. How can you make a negative comment about someone whom you have not worked with? How rude is that? Learning is a life long process. Can we be certain that what knowledge we have acquired so far will be sufficient to last us our entire lifetime?!?!?! So does it pay to be so snobbish??

I will let you my readers reflect on this.
