Define: House Officer

I'm now way into my second rotation and I managed to let my surgery rotation go by without a blog post. For the past 5 months, my life was just a ping pong between work and going to sleep... A life devoid of blogger and twitter... (And then you get people still pestering me to get myself on Facebook!)

So, what does it feel like working as a house officer? I recently wrote a 500 word article on MMSA's Fresher's booklet trying to summarise what I'm currently going through at the moment. I was going to copy and paste that article onto my blog. But then I realised that I need not bore you with lengthy articles when you have a anonymous genius who writes quotes like these on the Internet...

"We, the unwilling, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, for so long, with so little, we are now qualified to do anything with nothing."

That, dear ladies and gentleman, is the perfect definition of a house officer. Please consider this sentence seriously before you become a doctor.

The end.
