It’s about time that I put all my energy in performing my true year-level functions. I’m tired of doing day-long rounds, only to find out at the end that I needed to do it again at night just to make updates. My aging joints just can’t take going up and down the stairs repeatedly for 24 hours or more. And my ears are already ringing at the sound of my name being paged over the hospital PA system every 30 seconds. I hate having to walk around in corridors that are not well-ventilated, sweating (and the higher ups expect us to wear the white blazer in that kind of environment).
I love getting the chance to manage different cases and applying my knowledge in it. This makes me feel more like a doctor than a lab result relayer. Or a soundboard.
And, of course, it’s a no-brainer that one would get so badly disappointed if you’ve already been promoted to the next level and then, asked to do the functions of the lower year-level (with the present-level duties). I believe it’s a feeling of being depraved the time to maximize learning in the year-level one is supposed to be working hard in.
In short…
LEMME BE A SECOND YEAR BECAUSE I’M FUCKIN’ DONE WITH FIRST YEAR!!!
