LEARNING FROM THE CUTE DOCTORS

i've been watching a lot of hospital-themed tv series (for lack of a better term) lately. well, not really a lot - just couple. house and grey's anatomy, to be exact. and watching these shows, albeit for entertainment purposes, has taught me quite a few things really.

first of all, i learn that there are a lot of cute doctors in america. so i've decided, when i'm rich enough, and if i need medical attention, i know where i should be flying to (eheh). secondly, i also learned that being a doctor is actually a very tough job.

you see, the current job assignment that i have requires me to do something that i have never been particularly good at - financial auditing (i'm not gonna bore you with the details of my job - did i see you yawning already? hmph). i hate it. and because i hate it, i suck at it. even when i was in school i sucked at it. so i'm struggling a little bit with a new job. it's a bit tough because you know that you need to impress your boss in your first assignment. and because of this, i am required to work a little bit harder at work. it takes a lot of effort to force yourself to do something that you suck at historically. and i'm not sure if i have been very successful at it. and that's why, albeit the bountiful-ness of eye candies in my workplace, i've been somehow dragging myself to work.

but watching these shows made me realise that i actually have it quite easy. being a doctor (i'm referring to those real-life doctors, not mcdreamy) is a lot worse than being an internal auditor who is forced to do external audit stuff (i just gave away my job haven't i. damn). i mean, you can never slack (you can but the consequences can be fatal to someone), you are required to make decisions even when you are not sure it's the correct decision, you need to deal with deaths, and (most importantly) you are subjected to wear those non-flattering OT uniform (heheh). and not all of them are making good money (especially back home). a good friend of mine is actually working as a doctor in one of the public hospitals. he is one of the smartest, wisest friends that i know. cute pulak tu. macam nak jatuh cinta je. i would lepak with him a lot whenever i go back, and everytime i go back i never failed to be amazed by him. amazed by how well he is managing his job. i would have died from the pressure of being a doctor (actually i would have died from having to study for 7 years to get a medical degree). but he's being really cool about it. he actually complains less about his job than i do about mine (but that's no surprise is it? i think i complain more than most people i know..heheh)

the other thing that i've learned from these shows (especially house, since the show features some really weird stuff) is that i should be grateful for being considerably healthy, even though i'm only 27. it's true, we always take our health for granted especially when we are young. it's like it's our birth right to be healthy. unfortunately, for some it's not. and for that, i am grateful that i am one of the fortunate ones.

who said that watching tv is a waste of time?

p.s: my ticket has been confirmed. yey!
