Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital, Singapore

-
Today I came across an advertisement for a new hospital in Singapore. Before I left in 2005 I told a friend that I would move back if I got to live at Tanglin and work at Gleneagles, a hospital in the area. I'm pretty sure that as sweet as Gleneagles is, it is nothing compared to the new Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital. I was actually kinda surprised to see the pictures - it's incredibly opulant for a hospital.. and as the weblog says, looks more like a hotel than anything else. I've taken the liberty to steal pictures from the advert and post them up here as a collage but please consider this a teaser and head over to kennysia.com for more information. (PS. Who in their right mind pays $12,888 for a night at hospital?!)

Brugada Syndrome

I don't think I will ever be a plastic surgeon. Not because I like plastics any less but because I cannot let cardiology go. Today I started studying cardiology cases for my exams and came across a segment on Brugada syndrome and the ECG patterns that are typical to this condition. I was surprised to see that this condition was discovered and described as recently as 1992 by a family of Spanish Catalan doctors (the Brugada doctors). I love finding 'new' cardiology information because the problem with being so interested in something is that I sometimes run out of novel 'findings' to keep me interested in the field. Lately I have been reading about microvascular dysfunction (related to womens cardiac conditions) and today Brugada ECGs. I think I could do this forever.

Connecting the dots

I was reading an article in Forbes today on the world's most influential women and was somewhat struck by the realisation that I float in some of these circles, loosely but in general only by one degree of separation. I have never understood why I have been allowed to meet these people and to get to know them on a personal level. I don't know if anything is meant to come of it, or if perhaps there are just so many of them that all of us know someone or other. But sometimes I can't help but wonder, what the hell. How is it that little old me knows some of the most powerful and some of the richest in the world? I am a nobody. I feel like a nobody. And yet somehow, I've made it to the edges of all this. What??

Life Zzzzzzzzzzzz

I always feel like life needs to be packed with amazing and exciting things... so it never feels right when my weekends are empty. I get bored, and boredom doesn't sit well with me! It will be A.W.E.S.O.M.E. when I am back in my own apartment with pretty furniture and the amazing Apple iMac that I will finally buy and UNLIMITEDDDDD internet. It will certainly be really really awesome.
