On the Expired Attention Span

What's with all the morning rounds in this new posting and all, it's only natural that I'm in bed at 11 at night, because the morning rounds everyday starts at 7 in the morning, and we have to be in the ward to follow up our allocated patients before being 'shot' by them specialists and medical officers. Despite all that, we still came out from those rounds 'heavily wounded'.

With all those extremely early waking up, (considering I haven't been waking up at 0630 for the past 4 years), it was extremely tiring that after morning rounds each day, we still have to go to the clinic or the operation theater for the rest of the morning, with tutorials or lectures in the afternoon.

I'm not sure about all the other students, but I certainly grumbled a lot for the past few days. Kept yawning throughout the day. It was in fact, an achievement should I stay awake throughout a class.

One of the lecturers, while trying to finish his class in the shortest time possible, even pointed out that, "our normal attention span only lasted for 45 minutes."



Now I really do wonder if exhaustion shorten that span. *yawn*

Yawns are contagious.

waking up at 630 would make me cry if i have to do morning duty for my attachment.

In order to be punctual, have to wake up at least 5.15 for me.

I wonder u can tidy up urself in such a short time? or u sleep in hospital hostel so travelling from one place to another doesn't take much time.
