毛头越来越调皮了。平时我上班，都不禁会担心老妈是否能驾驭得了。今天她发来了照片，我才知道我多虑了。老妈可有办法了。又要洗衣服又要看娃？莫慌。把毛头放在篓子里，就解决了。她一个人坐在里面，可开心了！
疫情期间，没办法聚在一起拍个Geri Onco的团体照。无鱼，虾也好。就将就一下，通过zoom视频会仪截图吧！不要小瞧这次的拍摄哦！非常考验大家的合作能力和协调能力。当然，还要靠点后期的p图... 
Had our first physical examination "practice" session for NCPP last week. As usual, there was no demonstration before we begin. Instead, we were expected to learn everything from YouTube videos, which had minimal explanations on the findings to look out for. I attempted the respiratory and abdominal physical examination stations because no one else in my practice group wanted to try. Everyone were equally unprepared. Having watched the videos a few times without actual practice, there were quite a bit of inaccuracies in my technique and approach. I also cannot remember all the steps, so examination was not very thorough. In short, it was a complete failure.
I knew I needed more practice, and poor hubby ended up being my "dummy". But the problem with finding someone with a big habitus is that physical examination is abit more difficult. For example, one won't be able to feel the apex beat. I wasn't aware of that and thought that I wasn't doing it right. Thankfully with the little bit of practice that I managed to get with hubby, I managed to survive this week's physical examination sessions. My grades jumped from a "F" to a "D". That is a huge improvement for me. But looking at how smooth the APNs were, I know that I still have a long way to go....

两个多月的时候，老妈就建议给毛头进行如厕训练，让我感到很诧异。太早了吧？她还什么都不懂嘞，大小便不会控制，也不会发声通知我们。老妈解释，主要是让她习惯定时大便，而且这样拉粑粑，不会弄得到处都是，屁股也会干净许多（要洗的尿布也少许多🤭）。现在毛头能坐了，我们也从抱着她悬在一个大盆上，改成坐便桶了。于是乎，就有了以下的照片：
Took up the NCPP course last year but had to defer the second half of the course until August due to pregnancy. It has not been an easy journey taking care of a 5-month-old kid and studying at the same time. Especially when dealing with an intensive course like NCPP. A lot of self-reading and practice is required. But during the zoom sessions, we were immediately put in the hot seat, with no prior teaching or whatsoever. As expected, I was flustered.
History taking proved to be difficult. One have to think of questions to ask, interview, observe the standardised patients' reactions, address their concerns and take notes at the same time. Miss a point and you will end up with the wrong differential diagnosis. So stressful! And it definitely didn't help that my partner performed much better. She made everything seemed so easy...
