Being away from work the weeks before exam is great. No ward rounds, no clinics, no complaints, no dealing with fastidious patients, no tending to the house officers, no admin works etc. My mind is now focused on getting the revisions wrapped up. So I am grateful for the leave of absence.
With that, I was also able to spend more quality time at home with Baby Kate, no doubt inundated and perplexed by our mock presentations and role-playing acts. The revision sessions were stressful but the sight of Baby Kate never fail to lighten our spirit.
Years from now, I will recall fondly and perhaps with a smile on my face this period of time where although the prospect of exam was very daunting indeed, it was alleviated by the company of my one-year-old daughter.
