Internship in AMC

When i was an undergraduate in AMC i always looked up to the interns n thought wen will the day come when i also will be able to hang the stetho and proudly walk in the campus....i always thought that they have such a carefree life dont have to study...and the best part they get stipend also.
        And finally the day came results of final MB was out and by the grace of God i passed. D moment i came to know that i passed suddenly a fear grew inside me....till few days back i was just a student mugging things n writing exams...but now will i be able to handle patients??? N there...it started....the fear of being responsible....and not just responsible but a responsible doctor...slightest mistake and a life could be at danger. I used to pray to God to give me the courage to face all these reality....
        So my internship started...it was like stepping into an entirely different world...proffessors whom we dreaded during UG days began to chat with us like collegues.....seniors who took our classes became like friends to us.....and guided and teached us many more things...and slowly my fear began to reduce i became more confident day by day....each day was a learning experience....starting from how to insert a canula to assisting in major operations...i just started loving it. The best part was wen i saw patients comming in such bad conditions n now returning to their home cured and happy....some old aged patients even calling "majoni" felt like i was talking to my own grandparents.....first stipend kab khatam hua woh to pata hi nahi chala...hehe...
     That was the fun part...now comes the hard part....as i continue to do hectic duties night shifts and then again day shift without a break....specially in medicine and gynae depts....my counterparts in other states were busy preparing for pg entrance....thats it..... i was so engrossed in my duties that in the period of 365days of internship i didnt open books even for a single day....and then came the festivals...."In internship there is no holidays n no leaves" as most of our professors said....so even in eid i was sitting there in the corner of the old dilipidated hostel in Chabua where we were sent for SPM posting....still didnt feel that bad because of the constant support of friends....i will never forget the line "internship is of 365days" said by one of the profs when i went to ask for a leave...
        Amidst all these still i had the best moments of my whole AMC life during my internship...partied almost ever other day....went for a date almost everday(couldnt go during paedia posting though)....almost every friday watched a movie.....
       Lastly i conclude by saying dat internship in AMC was the golden period of my life...i learned....i loved...i worked like hell....and i enjoyed like hell too....
  LONG LIVE AMC!!!
