Oh Happy Day

Not that I really have much to say. Me writing this post is a way to elongate my happiness hours. Remember how sad the last post was? Oh this one is quite the opposite. 

So in this course we were supposed to present three cases and I. HATE. CASE. PRESENTATIONS. I think I have mentioned why! So when I got sick last week because of stupid pharyngitis, I really secretly planned to ditch case presentation III, even though it's graded! Not that it was difficult, but you know, for the sake of ditching! 

So when I showed up on Wednesday (the annual party day, in which btw we had lots and lots of fun) the girls told me how awesome the doctor was. The doctor I was suppose to present my case to. The doctor who Ohood presented her case to. I was really angry at them. What a mean thing to do as telling your friend how much awesomeness she missed!!! And I got angry that I didn't push myself to attend the other day and present! But then, I said ma3 nafsahom, never mind, I don't have to present a third case. 

That would really happen if my friends weren't such assholes nerds! A student can present only two cases!!! Anything more than that would be a condition of nerdiness. And my group mates, some of them, presented four times! Why? To make sure that they get the super A plus. Mashallah! I don't envy them. I just mentioned that to show you how much I hate the guilt they're causing me. It's really difficult to be yourself when everyone around is super nerd. 

So on Saturday the leader (Morooj) was like, JUST PRESENT!!! You already have guaranteed your marks just present for the heck of it. Obviously Morooj doesn't know me -_-. I don't do stuff, i.e. CP and nerdy stuff, just for the heck of it. I drink coffee and sleep immediately for the heck of it, I belly dance for the heck of it, I sing in Japanese and French *I suck at both* for the heck of it, but I NEVER present a case just for the heck of it =_=. Nevertheless, I did prepared a case, the cutest patient alive. She's 32 and she looks 16 mashallah. The happiest, most patient, tolerant patient ever. She felt like a sister and I only talked to her THIS Sunday. And she's Bukhari. Did I tell you that I'm definitely marrying a Bukhari dude? They're adorable!! FIND ME ONE!! Hahaha. So she really really helped me a lot. She was well educated about her condition, which is something you don't really see in lots of patients regardless of their age and education status. And I simply was in love. And I tried to do what Lujayn suggested in her comment on the my last post, I visited patients for the heck of it. I said 'bye' to this patient because she's to be discharged today, and I might not see her tomorrow. And when I presented her case, I was really nervous because -again- I have no idea what the doctor is like. I presented quite quickly, I was extremely happy that he didn't like extra gerger. You know how medical doctors love to hear (no vomiting, no diarrhea, no no no no) and you end up wasting your time over stupid negatives. This doc was awesome, he kept saying, skip, no need, skip, next. I loved him for that :p. And I heard he LOVED mentioning the hospital course part, and so I decided to do that :p. Guess what? I think he gave me a 95 because of that. Hahaaaaaaa. He kept saying how excellent my presentation was and how pleased he is of our awesomeness :p. Needless to say, I danced all the stupid victory dances today! 

And I thought (somewhere this week) that I saw a high school friend in a corridor in the surgical ward, I forgot the girl's name, but because I was hyper with happiness after presenting my case, so I thought I could transfer some to a patient. I looked up the admission book, in hope that I'll remember the girl's name, I didn't. But I did checked the age of the patients and I found her immediately. I sat with her for nearly half an hour. She was so happy to see me coming out of nowhere. It felt sooooooooooooooo good to revive a friendship from highschool. And it just felt good. 

Somehow, I could finally understand how people loved Medicine (باطنة). Apart from the fact that having enough knowledge makes lots of things make sense, connecting with patients directly, feels good. Really good :). Thank you Lujayn. Really, awesome advice. :D 

So in 10 days, I'm gonna have my finals, pray for me people. This will be the first OSCE ever and I quote Ghada when she said (My prestige is in danger), we really have higher chances at looking like idiots, which I highly don't prefer!!!
