I've been having this idea of having a blog dedicated to writing about my medical education, noting down what I've seen and experienced and how I feel about them etc. I'm not too sure how it will work but I do hope this will work out so after many years, I can come back and see what I went through and my emotions at that particular time.
Many peopl ask why I wanted to be a doctor. Sounds childish and shallow but as I had explained in my personal blog before, it was really inspired by the HK dama, Healing Hands, if I remember the title correctly.
In regards to whether I regret studying medicine, it's a complicated questions. I believe many people in my situation do fear regreting their decision since this decision doesn't come cheap. Studying medicine oversea would easily cost something close to 0.35-0.5 million. At some point in time, I did question myself. I fear that passion would die off some time. However, when I think back, there wasnt much I would want to study. So, now, intead of what I want, it became what I dont want. I realise the time when I was studying Chem Eng in NUS was an agonising period. Not only was I not happy, I felt very stressful of the environment. I guess studying medicine would be better off for me then. Hopefully, my passion would last throughout my career cause I guess, helping others do give me a sense of satisfaction.
I guess this blog might be a little boring for people who doesnt understand about medicine but I will try to make things sound simple enough for layman to understand.
