Housemanship 2

Housemanship.

I can roughly write a book on how to be a great houseman.

Anyone can be houseman.

Anyone can pass housemanship.

But it is the end of route which makes me scared.

I passed several postings up till now, but am i really competent to be a doctor in that particular field?

The answer, honestly, is a big NO.

I think as a houseman, we are not the housemen of those times when we have the knowledge we carried forward from medical school sufficiently for us to battle through housemanship just to gain practical knowledge.

We need to constantly study to remember.

Because our system is such that we can be a medical graduate by just studying for exam.

Similar theory, can we carry forward knowledge and skill from Housemanship to battle through daily work to save life?

No, honestly. At least to me.

One can pass housemanship easily, but the question is really, do you want to it with eyes close and heart shut?

The thought of which department I want to apply to be MO, really saddens me.

I am no ready for any department, i think.

I am a doctor. Do no harm is my priority. Saving life?

One can of course, but hook, crook, and mouth, and little bit of luck going pass housemanship.

You can keep telling yourself that "all i want is go through this and then be a MO"

But, can you?

"I am going into admin, public health"

Fair enough.

But, how great is your housemanship?

It is the company of fellow housemen that defines who are you, and your value.

Suck up bosses, constant MIA, still would able to get you through current era, but times will come when:

"Eiyer, this Dr A? He is useless, I did housemanship with him"

That my readers, according to Maslow, is the lowest point of life you want to achieve.

Self, esteem.

I hope I am not falling to that category.

But it saddens me when some people readily, knowingly, be in that category.

Like a boss!
