Clerkship, at long last!

Yes! After braving hundreds of storms during my 3 years in med proper, here I am, days away from clerkship. It's the time when we get to practice every single theory we learned inside the classroom to real life patients. Just the idea that we will be left on our own inside the hospital doing our thing just makes me wanna puke out of excitement and apprehensions. I fear that the knowledge I have inside my already worn-out brain may not be enough to get me thru it. I still don't know if I am really capable enough to handle all the stresses, physical exhaustion, plus the humiliation that I might be entitled of from doctors and patients alike. Clerkship also signals the time when hospitals become home, and the examination table becomes the sleeping bed. I may not be able to predict fully what would happen in the next couple of months, but I am dead sure that it will really be a life-changing experience. I still have a year for me to to prove to everyone that I am worthy to be called a doctor, one who is competent enough and is compassionate to the sick and needy.
