Being an intern is not easy when I supposedly come with “4.5 years experience” as a pharmacist.
Good is that I feel “young” again and I’m happy to learn more/refresh my memory on what I’ve studied back in Uni.
Bad is that I think I’m not exactly painting a very nice picture of the system/practice back in Malaysia.
Being quizzed and not knowing the answers is difficult…but I do learn better when I’m on the job than if you give me a book and ask me to mug on it.
In a way I’m happy to be quizzed even if I ternga-nga don’t know how to answer Rory…
That’s when I get to learn and it will definitely stick in my memory for a longer period of time than if I were to read it up on my own.
Trust me when I say that many things seem to be so foreign to me at the moment…though they do have that slight hint of familiarity.
