Yet Another New Stage of Life..

Before i realize about it, it's almost time to go for induction and entering into a new plateform of life- the working life.

The working life is going to deprive me of plenty of pleasure in life but i hope at the same time i will be able to enjoy it at the same time so that the 2 years of suffering is better tolerated.

Should start thinking of what my future plan is; choosing field for specialisation. Psychiatry? Medicine? What field in medicine? Surgery? Neurosurgery?

I know i am very much attracted to the mystery of mind but i am totally not sure of the prospect of psychiatry but at the same time i realised i wouldn't be able to treat the patients with psychiatric issue fully without the help of medications. On the other hand, i am disappointed by the treatments given by the psychiatrist. Most of them prescribe medicine-only treatment. Is this the way of life i wanted?

TCM- Traditional Chinese Medicine? well, i am really interested in getting to know about it. But where and how? I might not have time for it. By the time i finished my housemanship? would be too late probably as the whole course will take another 5 years of study...

And, i am yet to finish with my study of hypnotherapy. This is probably going to take a few more years.. Another CBT-cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy practitioner diploma to be taken before i can proceed to the Master programme. That is also not that guaranteed. Probably will have to take the bridging programme as the course i am studying is not accreditated by the overseas university at the moment.
