This week, the Neurosurgery team of NUH is hosting a conference - The State of the Art Series: Management of Pituitary Tumours, with an expert panel that comprises of both International and Local faculties. As mentioned before, Professor Charles Teo, Senior Consultant Neurosurgeon of UNSW, Australia, is here, and in addition to him, there are also consultants from world-renowned hospitals such as Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge and Queen's Hospital in London.
Truly, words cannot describe how grateful i am to the doctors (and to God) for giving me the opportunity to sit in for such a seminar. As i looked around the auditorium today, i observed that i was the only non-medical staff, let alone a non-medical student, who was present for the conference: a timely reminder of how blessed i am.

Met Aunty Siew Mei and Samantha in church after the conference today to learn more about the drugs we'd be dealing with during the medical trip to Cambodia i'd be going for in two weeks time. i keep thinking of how i'm supposed to go about explaining such detailed instructions to the translator - getting them right is absolutely crucial: one wrong instruction could be fatal. i can only pray to God that He'll watch over us throughout the one and a half weeks that we'd be there.
Challenging and daunting, but i'm definitely excited and looking forward to it.
