Call on Sunday will never be normal to this life of mine, especially when its me on call. You can imagine how my Sunday went.
Memoir on an intern doctor….day 54
Remember that time on day 3 when I swore I’d never learn Acholi language?Well, I’m eating my words. Very much so. Because I’m at it right now. I’m trying. I realise the next 10 months people might have lost their patience of having to interpret for every time I’m making my clerkships.I got gifted today […]
Memoir of an intern doctor…..Day 53
In 8 days time, I’ll be moving over to Surgery for my 1 month rotation. But can I say I’m already worried. First of all, mass casualties freak me out. Then also people bleeding from any part of their body other than their vagina disturbs my brain( its the only bleeding I’m used to that’s […]

Day 51 going strong, still working hard, smiling, and having my patients bless me. Yes, I get that daily. I have been told ‘Medicine looks good on you’ in those exact words. But I have a major challenge. I have failed to meet that fine line between Empathy and Sympathy . I have failed 😢. […]

Memoir of a doctor intern….day 47
Its every student’s joy when their teacher complements their work. Its every Doctor’s joy when a senior doctor/ specialist complements their work. I was in these shoes today. I’ll tell you about it. Every Saturday morning, we hold CMEs as a hospital. The entire staff is there and every department takes turns presenting. One department […]
Memoir of an intern doctor…..day 46
I can’t complain about work today, maybe the fact that I miss matooke. This part of the country doesn’t have much of it. Today we pulled off our first “party” as interns. We organised a birthday something for one of our colleagues. It was a good laugh. The best we’ve had all our time here […]
