This will be quick as I need to stop distracting myself and study up for OSCE Round 2. This time, i'll be sitting for the year 3 OSCE formative so yes, I need to put my big head prawn incident behind.

 

Anyway, I've been really blessed by the retreat weekend that Student Fellowship organized and being part of this family in Liverpool has helped to ground me. I've come to realise that my life over the next few years is going to involve heck alot of major decisions but you know what, God is so good and I am going to trust in Him. After all, He is my Father and He'll carry me through.

 

"As you come to Him, the living Stone-rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to Him-you also like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Chrit."

 

Then it was back to an avalanche of lectures, tutorials, talks bla bla bla. Yesterday, I trudged all the way to Cheshire for Child psychiatry and getting wet in this wild winter weather was so worth it because I got to dabble a little into child and adolescence psychiatry. When asked what career options we were considering for our future by Dr. K, I said I wanted to do surgery and he went,"Hmm...You know what we're doing today isn't exactly surgeon material ;)" Then again, I don't think I fit the stereotypical surgeon archetype (think Type A personality, Male gender or Christina Yang) so I volunteered to interview this young boy with him. It went on for 2 hours!!! Praise God we got on along well with the mom and the 13 year old. He was referred for anxiety disorder but he's incredibly normal or at least to me. He was just a shy kid, a little obssessive with Play Station, X Box and Nintendo but WHO isn't at that age?!!? I think we should really be careful before sticking labels on people especially children. Something to think of when I have more time... Psychiatry is really such a grey-prof trelawneyish area.

 

Right before I end, did you know you can get a 3 year diploma in Sand Play Therapy! That really got us thinking about OTHER career options ha ha!
