Watched Grey's Anatomy just now..
Its a great series.. great especially for those aspiring to be doctors, great especially if you're aspiring to be a surgeon... Unlike scrubs which had more comedies, Grey's Anatomy is the serious stuff, its the real stuff..
The series kicked of with several interns at their first day. And the story revolves around a chatacter, Dr. Grey.
I've known that being a doctor is hectic and all, but this series really potrayed it all.. There was a scene when the intern had to make crucial decisions because her patient was having a seizure, then suddenly her heart stopped.. Dr. Grey was totally blank and kinda lost in her own world, with the nurses shouting at her for instructions. I actually tried imagining myself in that position, and it actually sent some chill down my spine.. When Dr. Grey managed to save the child, i actually felt relieved.. lol!
Watching a movie is nothing like doing the real thing.. there was a scene where another intern was performing appendectomy. Everything went well, he extracted the apendix but then when he tried to sew up the colon, it breaked. Feaces and blood were leaking everywhere (they actually performed i real one i think), and his senior doctor was shouting at him, asking him, "what would you do!?". Again, this doctor went blank totally..
Fear is what i have in my career now, not fear of 48-hour long shifts. But fear of losing a patient under my care.. I risk that everyday for the rest of my career.. Of course, the only reward for all the hardship is the act of saving lives...
I'm suddenly inspired to really study.. not just to pass exams.. but to ensure that i'm adequately prepared to face the challenges that awaits me once i took up the title... DR...

Hey Alex!
How are ya? It's been almost a year, blimey! How is Uni? I hope it's not too daunting, my Uni is cool, but heaps to do, that's for sure.
Nah, just thought of saying hi after so long. Really long to relive the Taylor's moments.
Hope to see you at the end of this year, that's also if you're returning and they are getting together. I haven't talked to Deva and Joni for ages, it's pretty tough to keep in touch.
Take good care, really glad Spring has finally come.
Bye bye!
hie hie! nice to hear from u! yeah, spring has come.. but its nothing much different here in sydney. I prefer winter though..:P
Don't know if this is good or bad news...but Grey's Anatomy is highly unrealistic - it's primarily a romantic melodrama and the clinical scenarios aren't realistic.
Plus us real docs are much uglier he he he
Yeah, after a few episodes, i realised that it's turning into another drama. Not realistic anymore.. haha!
