Don't Sweat Small Stuff

Overheard the casheer girls' talk in the hospital this afternoon when I was waiting for an appointment with a dentist.

"So what do you think if when the patients want to know which doctor is a reputable one in this hospital, we answer that there is no good doctor here?"

"Yeah, that might be a good idea. Those doctors are nothing without us. Even we look less important for them, it's us who actually play a big role on whether the doctors will have good reputations or not."

"For even if we looks uneducated and less smart than them, they should not underestimate us."


Me, sitting there, so glad to have the chance to heae such honest comments from real people around the doctors. It is so true that we should not underestimate anyone in our life, for every single person have the possibility to affect pur life, either in positive way or in negative one.

I promised myself that very second not to inderesrimate anyone around me, either it is a patient who is not able to pay, a junior coleague, a casheer, even the janitors. Lesson learned. 

My Den

My den is a sea of unread books.







Less than 2 months left to read all of these books. I think I just need to document this as one moment in my med school. My children might want to know this one day. Or it is me as a doctor in the future who will look back at these pictures and may regret on my bad time management and my lack of reading.

For the moment, I think I need a new bookshelf. A big one.

Stir-fried vegetables

This is basically a stir-fried vegetable dish. I used some brocolli, carrots, silk tofu, and fishball in it. Oyster sauce and sesame oil make it tastes good. 15 minutes of preparations, you can always make this kind of this with any vegetables you have left in your fridge. :)
