Finally, the 'holiday' ended for me and my unit. We had our first full-fledged working day today. I spent almost the whole of the day in the operation theatre. But I was not exactly operating (or assistintg). I was just co-ordinating so that everything went on smoothly.
This is the paradox with the houseman's life. You are supposed to be attentive and interested in surgeries. But you don't get adequate opportunity to do it. You have to make sure that you stay around to get others' work go smoothly. But life's like that. Just face it!
This new found book thing kept myself busy in the time I got in between. I am reading a simple orthopaedic manual by an English author Ronald McRae. The simplistic diagrams that define McRae's style keep things interesting.
In between, I got some goody time with servants. I had some casual 'physical contact'. Such instances gave me a big dose of chemical romance; I didn't mean to use that phrase... But I love the eerie sounding song by 'My Chemical Romance' called 'The Ghost of You'.
This realized me how deprived I was. I am more aroused by such 'touches' than pornographic pictures. Wow!
