End of General Practice Run

Today is the last day of GP run. 5 weeks had gone, wow, that's real fast! I really enjoy this run, first of all, it is not as hectic as the others, plus the lecturers are extremely friendly and a bit too enthusiastic, haha! We had a written test justnow, and i saw my groupmates wrote very long answer for each question, making me feel so worry about the result. Anyway, it's over and i should enjoy this weekend to the max!

For the past 5 weeks, i had to go to GP clinic 3 times a week during the afternoon. When i first got the list of GPs, i had no idea which one should i choose. The only issue that i had in my mind was the distance. So in the end, i chose Mairehao and Bishopdale, which are not too far or too near from the city centre. Lucky me, the doctors in this two places are so super duper nice, making me feel like becoming a GP in the future.


This is Dr. Chris Hill from Mairehao, graduated from otago too. He worked in Brunei before and been to Malaysia for a few times, he even knows where is Ipoh. On the first day, he showed me the pictures he took in malaysia, from penang to ipoh to kl. Guess what, the first picture of ipoh that he showed me is the main street of Chemor (oh...suddenly feel so homesick...). He understands that i am still strugging with the kiwi accent, thus after every consultation, he will discuss with me just to check if i know what's going on. At the same time, he also taught me some slangs that kiwi use most of the time. I really admire the way he clicks with all the patients and made them feel so comfortable throughout the whole consultation. And i like the way he introduced me to the patient, "this is How, nearly a doctor!" (still have 3 years to go though, haha!)


This is Dr. Chris Leathart from Bishopdale, graduated from liverpool. He is extremely knowledgeable, still can remember details of the basic stuff, which really amazed me. I have no problem with his accent because he has no kiwi slangs at all. ( he said perhaps because he is an english, and tend to enunciate words more properly, which is quite true...) He is like a walking textbook, able to tell the full name of underlying pathology, which is very helpful for me to do revision. And he is very humble even though he has been a GP for more than 20 years. Really learn a lot of stuff from him.

So sad that GP run has finished, will gonna miss them.
