The hospital has been celebrating Nurses’ Day the whole week (there isn’t a Doctors’ Day, is there?), so we snuck out to Donut Factory during lunch and carted back a few dozens for the ward staff. I’ll be really sad to leave this ward; what with the colleagues I’ve grown closer to, and the staff [...]

So I watched Harry Potter: The Half- Blood Prince on the day it opened. I was actually post-call that day, had no intention of watching or, and had nor bothered to get the free tickets that the department had been giving out to the staff.

To a friend: please take care of yourself. I’m happy that you let [...]

So it was team dinner today at Curry Favour! Boss’ treat, though we tried to wriggle out of that.
Rosu curry for me.
And the team.
Had a lot of fun at dinner. I love my bosses and my colleagues this rotation XD I’ve actually been looking forward to going to work each day, instead of wishing [...]
