Of Kids and such

Its been almost 5 months since i started on my internship, and its time i showed you what goes on beneath the mask and white robe.

The first department was with the team at the pediatrics. A few days into the job, i realised that the nightmare wasnt the screaming kids. The parents were the monsters of the dreams - thick-in-the-head, obnoxious and impossibly unreasonable parents. The only way round this, was to be as unruly as them.

We screamed at them, pointed at them, and i even made one cry. Drama that only unfolds at the pediatrics department. That said, i still do miss the doctors, nurses and of course those cute sick kids.

Half the team

My Mentor
So we are like assistants to the doctors, we assist them in prescribing the medication they order, filling out forms and we are also the crowd controller. Its shit job with no pay.

Tian Lao Shi, the only male doctor in the department with a strong fan base amongst the kids, parents and nurses.


Little Nurses
Alternative medicine

With the white robe, you do look like a doctor, albeit not a real one! Why so rude? Screaming at parents and making them cry! If you do that in S'pore, you'll be out of job sooner than you think.
