::superiority complex::

Dear Ms S,

I hope this letter found you in pink of health (because, if not, maybe one of us has voodoo-ed you). i am writing you this letter to represent my whole group members to express our dissatisfaction over what you did to us this morning.

we woke up very early this morning, praying to God to bless our journey to school and we walked with eagerness at its peak, to ward A3 in hope that we would learn something from your department today. we were very happy to find that your MO's were doing a ward round and we walked towards them. we stand there, quietly, not to interrupt anything that was going on. but you know how "happy" we were when she jeling us and said this : i don't like this medical students. bla bla. to add salt to the wound, she spoke to her colleagues in Chinese language. but from the way she looked at us, i know she was bitch-mouthing us.

how hurt that could be? it was like our hearts being slashed hundred times. i would understand if she was having PMS or emotional instability. but is it our fault to be present in the ward? is it our fault not to be informed which doctor is taking us for that day? is that our fault no one told us what case should be clerked that day? is is our fault we are still students and still crawling in acquiring knowledge? is it our fault that **C sent us to your ward? is it our fault you are unhappy with us because you are unwilling to teach but were forced to?

we were still holding on, hoping that she would realize that she was a student too before, so she will treat us fairly. but she did not. she continued to ignore us. we were treated like a piece of shit. i am sorry, but that was what i exactly felt on that very moment.

then, you came in. our hope to be treated like a human being faded away when the first sentence that blurted out from your mouth was: how come there are so many medical students here? go to A3. don't disturb us!

OMG! that was like the sky was falling unto us. we are sorry that we are not as the same race as you that you would treat us nicely. yeah, as what you did to the attachment students. i am sorry that **C did not pay you enough money so that you would share your precious knowledge willingly. i am sorry that we were disturbing you because that was our responsibility to attend the ward round every morning.

for the ignorance, heartless attitude you showed us, we thank you. may God bestowed His bless over you and all of us. i know you are one of the best, and maybe, we did not meet your standard. but, we will never be without your guidance.



yours sincerely,

(medical student)

there's a saying : "Without the strength to endure the crisis, one will not see the opportunity within. It is within the process of endurance that opportunity reveals itself."
hope by enduring all the pain, cerca maki and ppl's ignorance, we could find the opportunity to learn and then become a better person.. =)
