welcome to our ridiculous world

humid...

just editted a post... my english was so poor that i actually couldn't comprehend my own entry... haha...

am quite frustrated lately... i find myself living in a messy world...

a pop singer took intimate pictures in private... someone copied them without his permission and showed it to the whole world... it's the singer who is condemned... the singer whose personal files are taken without him knowing... society labels him the devil... parents & teachers don't know what to tell the kids... how simple, teach them it's unethical to take one's personal stuff without one's permission...

another thief stole an USB storage device from a doctor's office... surprisingly it's the doctor, whose things are stolen, who is punished... because she forgot to lock the door... the thief seems to hold no responsiblity... in that case, if someone reports burglary, police should arrest him because he is careless enough to let it happen... how amazing... since then, x-ray envelops are turned upside down in wards, and medical records are not allowed in end of beds... even the doctors can't locate them... some even say we're not allowed USB at work... there's this chinese proverb, "chop the toes to avoid worms"... how vividly we put it in into action...

a patient has some problematic family members who are very demanding and peculiar on literally every piece of care the patient received... seemingly i was too kind to them to "allow" it happened... how easy it is for anyone to comment on the friendly case doctor who will not yell back... when no one dares to talk to the family who is the origin of problems... not to mention confronting them as i "ought to"...

i have the passion to serve... but it upsets me to realize how pathetic the world is.... where & what are the moral standards & human values these days??? so confusing...

the kind-hearted yungyung

a little smoggy

visited yungyung today... she didn't complain much about pain lately... she frowned a lot today, actually she always frown, but she looked a bit worried and upset... reason being she heard about the earthquake... she said it's horrifying to think of losing so many lives... we asked her to pray for the unfortunate souls... and she decided to donate her birthday red packet money... yungyung u know u looked just so sweet... can't stop luving you...

the earthquake

if you plan to donate or re-donate... consider donating to hk red cross via the HSBC special donation account 808-459085-001 before the end of this month... coz every dollar you give will be matched by the bank up to a maximum of RMB 8Million... perhaps that helps slightly more...

inbox overloaded

i'm not working on such a nice day, finally...

have been quite busy... just returned from heaven geriatrics to semi-hell internal medicine... am in this unique position where i have half male and half female patients, yes, half-half of each sex is a strange arrangement... because of that, i have two seniors and a total of 5 service grand rounds per week... not to mention clinics and endless interviews with patients' relatives... my schedule is designed in a way that manpower is "fully" optimized... there's one very objective index of my workload... i had literally no time to check email so much so my email account was closed for the very first time! though the size of mailbox is small, i managed to clear the trash regularly, even during vacation leaves... all these, together with considerable amount of mails, some of them irrelevant, my mailbox is finally overloaded...

pilgrimage to kingdoudou

just comfortable

back from hanoi... 2nd trip of the month... i didn't know hanoi is that close to hk... took less than 2 hour by air... i find it quite nice for short stay... though it could be boring if one stays for too long... i think i mentioned for a hundred times that i love the food... especially my best friend was there to bring me to the local places... u know i've always wanted to visit you... i travelled alone for part of the trip... which was a bit odd... but then i got to meet new people and that's another experience... again, my photo tour uploaded to facebook with its part 2...

it is so nice to travel around... am still on holiday and i nearly forget what work is like... sometimes i wonder if i should choose something else which can perhaps give me more time for my own life...

just received my new work schedule and it had again turned me off... how could someone decide my VL without having my consent... this time a single day off in the middle of the week... i still have 2 months to work in this department... i don't see the urge to settle my VL without my agreement... i've agreed with all his arrangement feasible over the past few months... the SMO seems to be making very good use of my cooperativeness...
