Jason Clerk's Channel! ~ I should have been preparing..

Clerk means clerkship in my school hospital, as the 5th grade and 1st year to stray around in the hospital, and Channel means a window to talk about some stupid or serious things about my life. ^^

well, recently, i'm taking my final 9-week-course in surgical department, and my days and nights are simply full of something we call PBL(problem-based learning) session. My classmates and I are asked to pick a clinical case, find topics from his/her disease course, and search for references on our own. It's interesting, to be honest, but also tiring when there's like 5-6 cases in one week ...(thouhg we share within group, we'r still overloaded)

However, we classmates don't really work that hard. We still spend many time making fun of each others, while we'r so bored waiting for classes or searching for journal articles. We even have started a new trend playing computer games "age of emperor II" - which is rather an old game. That's what the subtitle of this article is about: i should have been preparing for my interview for exchange program (and many other things), but i simply would love to play games...(confessing as a child caught by his parents.... XD)

Since my last course was in internal medicine, I also want to mention something interesting here in NTUH in these two dept. While surgeon spend most of their days in the operation room( therefore hold morning meeting really early in the morning...) and usually wouldn't start "producing notes" until 8-9pm, internalist seems to spend most time in the station, recording pt's data, and still can't go home until 8-9pm.... So it's not surprising to find out some 3-to-4-line notes here in surgical dept. It's hard to say who's the better idea, but i think i would find a balance in between ^^
