Not coping = Compromise.
I went to my first surgery today! Saw a toe amputation and also a catheter being put in the abdominal area for dialysis. Shin and I attended the session together with 2 year 4's and 1 of them was our lab tutor! Having to wear the overalls and then go into the theatre standing beside the surgeon was quite cool.
But my title is actually related to the topic i kept thinking of during the bus ride there. A compromise is actually a sign of not coping well. This can be applied in many aspects of life, and i think it stays true as a general rule. I feel like i am slipping away, from my mountain high pile of work, into a life of procrastination, or shuffling of priorities to get jobs/tasks/assignments done. More often than not, my priorities are not really correct. Which is not really good. So all the compromising I make may seem as though I get things done, but isnt it a sign of not really coping well? Hmm. Ever since young, I have had a problem with priorities. Helping friends came before work, helping people came before other stuff. Work was something that could be postponed, unless due tomorrow, if there was something I perceived more important to do, at that moment in time. You can call it procrastination, but its really slightly different many of the times. Its also hard to explain what is running through my mind now, but all i can say is, i am trying to talk through this issue myself and hopefully come to a conclusion, or solution.
Management of time is really not easy, and has never been my forte. I admire those who juggle so many things simultaneously well, although they may be smart, hardworking or even both. After the theatre session, i do feel pumped up to study. I need instant knowledge at the tips of my fingers. I need to commit a million pages to memory. I need to know my stuff!
I think its time to reshuffle my screwed up priorities. The patient might be right, i am really quite a busy person.
Oh yes, really relieved my friend ling is well, after a scare sent her to A&E. Haa.. PBLs do come in handy.. i actually knew signs and symptoms of her diagnosis.
