[physician develpmt prog]

just had another insightful session. it was worth the wait and somewhat waste of my afternoon. not to mention the scores of people i had to avoid so that i wasn't asked the question.

things i felt about today:
- go learn chinese, or malay, or avoid being a complete loser in the wards. or pray that u deal with younger patients or all tamil speaking ppl. learn to speak proper english.
- sometimes all patients want is someone to shake hands with, someone to talk to.
- it pays to have a methodology when approaching patients, but this method will change from patient to patient.
- i need to find more shirts, ties to wear
- get a new pair of comfortable shoes, and buy regular length socks
- get a proper belt
- the technique for presenting complaint - mr X, a Byr old man arrived at Y hrs with Z due to A. he has gone for C (operation) and next operation.
-from last week : TRIAGE, the doctor rank system, the nurse rank system, how a patient is admitted (referrals and A&E)

exciting stuff.
