We are fortunate. Today I examined a boy my age with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. He has a beautiful smile, but couldn’t lift his arm to shake my hand. He’s a professional MBBS recruit, his case notes said; but not anymore now since the condition has progressed.
The more I see, the more I’m convinced every baby [...]

Ouch. My feet hurt. My heels hurt. My arches hurt. My vocabulary has decreased. Thus I am trying very hard to drag myself out for a jog, but it’s painful. I need to learn the art of foot massage.
The days ahead are meaningfully packed. I like KKH. Even the registrars tell us what cases [...]

Today was a bad start to the Paediatrics posting. The previous system had students going to NUS for a full day of tutorials on Mondays, and the respective hospitals for the rest of the week. Some students commented that they “couldn’t absorb” the consecutive tutorials, so what did the administration do? My batch now has [...]

I stumbled onto Victoria Frances, a fantasy and gothic illustrator from Spain, while searching for Bleach icons. Here’s a gallery of some of her works, of which I really like this one because of the mask. And here’s her official site.
[That's the greatest number of links I've given in one breath before.]

I am devastated. I have realised that my self-healing mat actually sustains permanent cuts. NOOOOOOOOOOOO.
To AA: You watch Bleach too!! Well, I like the Shinigami Cup skits too. I’m liking Byakuya more and more. Wikipedia actually has very good writeups on the Bleach characters. I liked this description of Zaraki Kenpachi: “the father of oddball [...]

I’ve finally finished watching the Soul Society arc of Bleach. Whew. I’m glad there was a conspiracy at the end - though why on earth a supervillain would patiently explain everyone like a schoolteacher to kids is beyond me. But the fights got better, with the captains and lieutenants being involved. Bankai! I really like [...]

Haven’t been blogging at all because I’ve now watching Bleach - finally. It’s a very good shonen aninme; and the fight scenes are full of suspense, if little else. Everyone just flashes here and there and changes position. Or yells/grunts really loudly, with lots of light and wind in the background, then lunges forward into [...]
