3.55 pm - Tolerated rantings from an ENT specialist (he's a Melbourne uni graduate anyway) that the current Monash course is crap, we are suffering coz they took out some anatomy chunks and throw in tonnes of rubbish like law, ethics, epidemiology, biostatistics and medical sociology - all courtesy of consulting people who are not in the medical field (ie idiotic patients and nurses) bla bla bla...
4.00 pm - Decided to leave when there are no more patients. Felt like a total waste of time.
4.05 pm - Raining. Waited for bus. Wonders why in the world did I choose Surgical Anatomy as my selective when some friends in the pathology selective were having fun writing nursery rhymes about basophils while others in the complementary and alternative medicine selective were learning tai-chi, yoga and herb mixing..
4.15 pm - Arrived at Monash University bus loop. Thinking of skipping dissection but popped in anyway.
4.30 pm - Didnt have time to read up much, so didnt really know what was going on while listening enviously to others answering the demonstrator's questions with ease. My demonstrator asked me which group am I from (duh... he can't recognise me??? crap.. Need more read-up to participate!!!)
