Little Tweets


If I had Twitter and spoke in Tweets, here is what I would write about today (tweets in red)...

It's my friend's birthday. Gave her a present which she LOVED. But I think I left the receipt in the bag by mistake. :S

Sent my nomination for Student Faculty Rep. Not that I want to get too excited about it. No idea who other candidates are. We wait & see.

Saw MANY magazines lying around in the library & thought of patients @outpatients. They’d like something to read while waiting for doctor.

Went to take the magazines at OBGYN outpatients with two librarians who liked the idea. Maybe it will help reduce a few cat fights.

Was supposed 2have a lecture on menstruation & all its problems but lecturer didn’t come. Probably realised our class is 75% female already!

Still waiting for lecturer. Instead, the Dep. of Medicine secretary came to ask us if we’re going to the lecture @Boffa Hospital. We said no*.

* The reasons behind our "no" are plenty and, although my readership is pathetically small, they cannot all be made public on the Internet... And they will most definitely NOT fit into one tweet. However the reply we got to our "no" does make it as The Tweet of the Day, be it written in English or in Maltese. Here it is as it was originally said by the concerned lecturer at Boffa on the phone...

"Dawn huma l-istudenti tar-Repubblika ta’ Malta. Jitħalsu biex jistudjaw. Għidilhom biex ma jiġux!!!”

Or rather in English...

"These are the students of the Republic of Malta. They get paid to study. Just tell them not to turn up!!!"

And fianlly, my last tweet...

Writing a letter to concerned authorities in reply to the above. More tweets next time.

Now I know why Miley Cyrus is so "Twitter obsessed". I found writing out these messages kind of fun. Thing is... My day is rarely as interesting as this one.

Just a Thought

From the Times of Malta:

"The allocation of doctors at the Mater Dei Emergency Department has never been ideal but was now going from bad to worse..."

"... it had now become a habit to send to this department newly graduated doctors before these were even given their registration license" which is "illegal in all western states, possibly even in Malta."

Although these young doctors "did their best to serve patients in the most effective and efficient manner" they, "understandably, took longer on the job because they lacked the necessary experience."

And Marquita wonders...

Maybe that is what the architects had in mind when they placed the Emergency Department so, so close to the mortuary...
