Two weeks of my elective posting have come and gone. I've got another week left. Requested to be in the Paediatric department and I'm loving it so far. Made some lovely new friends from Sabah who are also doing their electives here. Today was the highlight of my two weeks, though. Helped the doctors assess the development two little boys whom at first were very shy, but slowly warmed up to me and gave me all of their attention. It was such a wonderful feeling to be able to engage with them like that it really was. The hospital is so much bigger than the one in Muar. Car park is a nuisance coz all the spaces are filled as early as 7.30 in the morning. The Paeds ward isn't all that big. The doctors are pretty friendly. The nurses are gems - once you get to know them. Took this outside the CME room just before it started a few days ago. I'm always the earliest to arrive just to get a proper car park -.- Taiping is a small town with lots to see and even
