Pain is there for a reason.
Your fingers get burnt taking cookies out of the oven, so that you learn to use mittens next time.
You trip, fall, and bump your knee, so that you learn to look at where you’re going. Or rather in my case, you bump into the phone booth right outside the ward, drawing gasps from patients and relatives), risking a posterior dislocation of your R shoulder, so next time you’ll learn not to walk too near to the wall… (in fact, any wall on your R side) (stop laffing EW!)
Reminds me of the time I walked into the huge TV sets during polyclinic posting and fell down… -_-
You get 10% burns from scalding hot water, so you learn never to switch off the kitchen lights, walk with a pot of boiling water and bump into the wall. (but then, only idiots like me do that)
But most importantly, you get hurt by people, so that you’ll learn to be more careful in trusting them in the future.
Btw, I think the overall lesson I need to learn is to get a referral for visual perimetry testing asap!
