One of the transporters came in, looked at me and said, “Hi, Doctor.”  Me being confused looked around and realized he was talking to me.  I said, “I’m sorry, I’m not a doctor.”  Considering, it was a joke, it just caught me off guard!  And then he said, “I can see the future.”  :)   It’s not the first time people have called me doctor.  It just really takes me by surprise when I do hear it.  It’s sweet.

Little moments like these makes me happy, considering I haven’t been feeling very happy.  Rather, I’m despondent, which can be attributed to several factors but all those things will pass.

And I love my time in the hospital.  I like watching people around me.  I especially like seeing people smile, and I especially love smiling at patients and making them feel less lonely/scared.  I guess, I am a lonely person myself and can relate to patients on that level…so I know a warm smile can really change one’s mood.  And if I were a patient, I’d want warm people.  A hospital is a scary place!

And you know, being in the hospital feels more like home.  I love it so much.

Next rotation is a high possibility in L&D, which I don’t know how I feel about.

I recall that I didn’t want to deal with patients but I realize I do want to interact with them!  How strange is that?

Anyway, I do know that in the future I hope to treat patients from disadvantaged backgrounds.  I could careless for the rich because the rich have everything at their disposal, but because I am poor and because I don’t have that access I know.  And so I want to treat the people that are less fortunate.

Anyway those are my recent discoveries.  I don’t know if you’ve noticed but I spend major holidays at the hospitals and I think that is evident that I could careless how I feel so as I can comfort those that need it more (even if I’m just a nobody).

And yes, I’ll be at the hospital tomorrow and Saturday.  :)
