See you again next month, physics!!

Fuck physics
Fuck this piece of shit subject I don't even know why the hell I need to take this shit. I love math; it's my best subject. But physics is a different monster altogether... what the hell.. plus the profs are really shit. I swear DPSM has a lot of problems with regards to their physics profs no fucking joke

Aced that bio lec + lab quiz
my new studying style for bio worked :) Aced that bio lec + lab quiz definitely. ALL I HAVE TO DO IS JUST ACCEPT WHATEVER COMES OUT OF MA'AM CO'S MOUTH AND I'LL GET HIGH GRADES!!!
No more "extra" shit from the 2021 transes hahahaha

Studying for the DUAL bio lec + lab quiz
The topics for this coming exam aren't as difficult as before, because they are rooted in chemistry, something I have grown to love in my time in imed. What I'm actually scared about is whether or not my new study strategy will work. For previous tests, I had always referred to the transes of the upper LU buddies. But they ALWAYS. ALWAYS. CONTAINED MISTAKES/SUPERFLUOUS STUFF. I think enough is enough. If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself, after all. I'm taking my own notes FROM SCRATCH now (and not merely annotating their transes) while simultaneously recording ma'am CO's sermons 24/7. Tomorrow, I will know if it worked, because I have DUAL BIO LONG QUIZZES HUHUHUHU

On making mistakes
We are only human. We too make mistakes. Reflecting on the mistakes I have done in the past tuli missions, I am convinced that it is my duty to use them to improve myself -- I should not repress them as some others do. Yes, they are mistakes, but why repress the one good thing which may come out of it, self-improvement? They are unavoidable and we must take great care to not make mistakes, but inevitably, we do... When the time comes, it is only right that we keep these mistakes burned into our minds so that we never commit them again. It is the least we can do for our patients who have been put into risk because of our carelessness.
Mistakes last tuli mission:
1. Noticed a mistake a partner made and failed to call him out for it.
In my defense, the damage was done and nothing could have been done. But I should have had the courage to tell him right then and there that what he was doing was wrong so that in the future he would not commit the same mistake. Next time, I will be more assertive even though I am very young compared to these people I am working with.
2. Failed to aspirate before injecting anesthesia
Carelessly I forgot to aspirate. So there was a tiny chance that what I had injected had been injected intravenously which could have potentially caused side effects. Looking back now, luckily I dont think my patient experienced anything out of the ordinary, so I consider myself lucky. Although, the anesthesia wasn't as effective for him.... could this have been a side effect of my carelessness?
3. Accidentally dropped a suture packet
This isnt a major error, because we just had to reopen another pack, pero sayang! I am still a noob, and I dont have the skills to maximize concentration on my patient AND efficiently manage costs.
For the record, I also made mistakes during my first tuli mission. But I also got over them and saw them as opportunities to improve. Specifically, I made mistakes in stitching and in identifying anatomical structures. I made sure that I did not commit the same mistake this time around. And I didn't. My stitches were on point. But yet I got wrong this time what I got correct last time. So that is a lesson in itself, that I should keep on reviewing. Medicine is a lifetime of learning and relearning, after all.
I once felt bad about my mistakes after the first tuli mission, thinking that I was a failure for doing them, and that I should quit going to tuli missions altogether. Nope nope nope. That is the worst thing I could possibly do. The one good thing about making mistakes is that it gives you wisdom and experience. To quit after having made these mistakes is to bury them away as if they have never happened - never to be used to improve oneself or help improve the quality of health for others. In that case, it would be a total waste, because not only did you commit a mistake, but it also didn't bear fruit. At the very least, I should use it to improve myself and others when I courageously tell them about my flaws, in the hopes that they too will learn the lessons I have in my practice.
