Change

Our internal medicine teaching has made a dramatic change this year. Be it good or bad, I am going to be one of the student who receive this kind of arrangement.

The original 6 weeks teaching in our teaching hospital disappeared, which converts to two other hospitals in Sheung Shui and Kwai Chung, altogether with the hospital at Tai Po for 3 weeks. We will be requested to appear throughout the week except the Wednesday, because the professors want to have teaching on this very day in the middle of the week during the general medicine module.

In view of it, I can foresee the differences in our ecological system.

First, the prestigious junior medical students will be able to enjoy more teachings from this hospital (which is not our hospital) in order to brush up their forgotten basic science and clinical skills. Well, they will benefit a lot.

Second, we the poor senior medical students will have a lot of cases awaiting for us to perform physical examinations. I am sure, we can get much more signs than we should in this hospital, where gangster fight for opportunities of physical examinations were common place.

Third, the doctors from the mentioned hospitals outside Sha Tin will hate our medical school a lot, for they take the teachings to the students for granted without paying anything but increasing working load!

Fourth, the transportation cost and the time cost of we the poor medical students would be too much to be measurable. For those who live in the hostels, they will still need a lot of time to go to the Sheung Shui hospital and the hosptial in Kwai Chung. Not to mention the remote Tai Po one. All we lack, to tell the professors the truth without making up any signs, are but money and time this year.

Considering all this, I think it is correct for our school to move on like this. I shall explain it in the next entry.
