Niece

With Tiyah, the glowing mommy-to-be

Currently, I am in Prince Court Medical Centre, at 9.30 pm, waiting for my mum to finish off her LASIK surgery on a patient. I feel a bit exhausted since after coming back from work, I straight away get ready to accompany her. Anyway, I was in the clinic again today, it was a bit chaotic since there was only one surgeon around, so I had to wait for quite some time to get their opinion on my plan of management.

I met my physics teacher today, she came to the clinic and I happened to be in the consultation room, it was so funny how I just happened to be there! It was nice seeing her.

One of my patient was diagnosed with breast cancer today, it was really hard trying to break the news, so I had asked my MO to do it for me. It's true, patients will try to remain calm and composed in front of their doctors when deep inside, their hearts were shattered. When my MO told her, she just said, "Ok"... then we gave her the options of treatment... and later, she said that it's such a sad news and shed a tear. I cried too, it was heartbreaking for me too, especially hearing that she had 2 beautiful children and the youngest is 1 year old. I just pray that once her breast and axillary lymph nodes are removed, she'll be alright and tumor does not recur.

On a different note, a happier part of life... I look forward to the birth of my niece. I just cannot wait to see that tiny baby that keeps kicking my sister's tummy. I just love feeling her feet kicking against her own little home, and even funnier when I get to watch her movement. Just now my sister was asking whether I want to enter the labour room with her... that made me think. I would love to, but knowing me, I don't I can bear to look at her in pain. It hurts to see your loved ones in pain. Well, we will just see how it goes...
