Haha no worries. The title is meant to be happy, not emo or depressing. I am counting down to the last 2+ weeks of my training. Hurray!!
I cleared the penultimate hurdle: the viva exam last Friday. I passed! Yay!! Albeit with 74%, one of the lowest. Haha it was embarassing since I made a lot of noise about pay and acted pretty arrogant because of my school qualifications and in the end my score was like that. Lol. Anyway, my warfarin counselling is still quite sucky. I was a bit stressed that I got vitamin K and Potassium mixed up too. Wel, it was almost auto-pilot when saying the things but the examiners knew I was confused when I mention banana as a high vitamin K food. Lol.. I also did not notice anything wrong with Mixtard tds dosing. It is ironic because the other prescription had Mixtard bd. Oh well, stress just clouded my mind I guess. And the Viagra was a 'killer' haha.. I got the take about 30 minutes before sex correct though. But I did not know the limit. Anyway I checked the product insert: it is recommended to take 30-60 minutes before sex and it should not be used more than ONCE daily. Other than that, I had no idea what 1 year old babies eat so I totally skipped the constipated baby question. And I never expect that the effort to verify the minimum age guideline actually pays back! If I never did that assignment, I would definitely unable to answer the metoclopramide/prochlorpherazine use in children.
After half a week break for the viva, it is really difficult to get into the mood of working again. Sigh..
Today I became a laughing stock again. There was a visit by the Chief Pharmacist. So when asked about my opinions, obviously I will tell the truth in the most frank manner. My main concerns are 3: ethical conflicts, customer service vs professionalism and public perspective (or rather, the lack of!). Yes you all can laugh at me. But truthfully, tell me how many times a day that you wish that you can scold, curse, swear, and say the things you want to say to them directly rather than keeping it in your heart and say everything once you are behind? Honestly, how often do you just give in (even though you do not want to) just to avoid getting complaints? Hypocrites! These are all common secrets among us. Even if we don't admit it, everybody knows it.
Yea I am still pissed. If you don't dare to stand up, at least give support to people who stand up for you.. But perhaps that is one main difference between males and females. Males have pride. We do not take and accept shit readily, especially when we are not responsible for the shit (paraphrase: when you are the one deserving the shit). Females, on the other hand, perhaps are more forgiving and can easily let go things. BUT still, you got complain, curse, swear, etc, that shows that something makes you unhappy and you are unhappy because you cannot do anything about your unhappiness!
