-15- Internal Medicine




“A good, kind person feels happy when others are happy and he does things that benefit others. This is true wisdom. If a person only does things that benefit himself, he is only being clever”
--- Master Cheng Yen---

The last 2 weeks in Internal Medicine was not different from Medicine Department in Siriraj hospital at all. I must follow Resident Huang Lei and Professor Chang Ting En. My resident is a kind and educated woman, she usually taught me about her cases and gave me homework. My professor was very kind to me as well.

By the way, I like to study in Internal Medicine rather than Chinese Medicine. Learning the patients’ history, summarizing their problem list, differential diagnosis, searching for the information and discussing about the cases with my Resident and Professor are active learning that I love. Because I am not good in memory the lesson, memorizing something from the books is a boring way for me. Having active learning, thinking, being curious and trying to get answers are much more challenging. In conclusion, I have a nice time in Internal Medicine.
