On the replacement Dr.

Well, I mentioned that Dr.I won't be around until after the holiday on Wednesday. Monday was spent walking around aimlessly since there was no teaching clinician for our group. But we went to ask the clerk at the administration office as to who would be tending to us on Tuesday.

Everyone that heard about the news entered the seminar room with an anxious heart. She proved to be quite a popular lady amongst us for her being really serious and no smiling the whole time. She doesn't scold, but when she's upset, you'd expect you were somewhere else.

SS Loo: Okay. You know Dr. I is not around right? I'm Dr. Loo. I'm an endocrinologist.

The class was so silent and everyone stared at her.

SS Loo: So who's going to present a long case today? I'm sure you've clerked anything something about endocrine right?

Everyone started to look around.

SS Loo: Don't look around. Just volunteer. Or I'll be very upset. Anyone. C'mon.
Me: Does the patient still need to be in the ward?
SS Loo: No it doesn't matter. You want to volunteer is it? Come.


That was how I was tricked into standing before about 40 colleagues being 'zaaaat' by her tongue.

Aihs...

On the bright side,

I presented my long case. That I'm doing for my case summary. Thanks to her I learnt something and shall improve this report due Thursday.

Honestly, it wasn't that bad. I suppose she didn't go all out slashing my throat with his tongue today since we answered her questions. Of her previous horror story of 10, she's only a 5 today. She even told me I should be "smilling because someone's criticizing me", that I should be "happy to present now", at least I "won't panic during the exam, presenting the long case in front of 4 professors".

Somewhat true I suppose...

Now I shall get back to my case summary...
