OK so this is IT...I had my "ab fab" interview at NUS Med... well the interviewers were quite nice... but I still think i screwed up.... oh well... the most interesting question then... capital punishment! Yes strange but true... then they linked it to lethal injection... would i do it if i were a doctor... suddenly i had this sinking feeling..... haha guess i screwed up then.... i said well i wouldn't really know until the moment comes.... i guess i really didn't know..... I mean seriously.... i think it's sort of murder.... the a life for a life concept.... well it's fair and logical... but then this bleeding heart of mine thinks that well we shouldn't kill the guy... isn't one death enough?
Does the killer not have family as well? Is he not human? Sounding suspiciously like shylock from merchant of venice right? God has told us to forgive, but if I were the family member of the victim, would i be able to? Sure it is difficult, but then forgiving is never easy. How abt being a family member of the killer.... would i be able to forgive him?
Justice can be blind, but so can love. Blood is thicker than water. Would i still treat a killer as family and love the killer as i would any other family member?
Back to the interview question... if i were the preciding dr would i be able to do it? Honestly, I really didn't know how to answer that question! If i said yes, I might have looked very uncompassionate... if I said no... it didn't seem to sit right with me either.... was wrestling with this whole ethical issue in my head... haha... luckily I didn't write that for GP! I mean it's a job right? And sometimes the dr has to do the job... if I didn't do it, they would have asked someone else to do it... maybe I'll pray for the killer before I actually inject.... but that still doesn't make it any better... in a way the killer's blood would still be on my hands.... a killer of a killer... vicious cycle... would i be held accountable for this decision one day? would it be considered wrong or right? Hmmm.... well let's hope i never have to make that decision!
Oh well, while still pondering abt that... I'd like to wish all the med candidates good luck! haha... hope you all get in!:)
Oh yes, luckily I didn't see my SMS-stalker today... for those of you who know what's going on.. she msged me yesterday AGAIN?! i'm officially freaked... I understand that she wants to be friendly.. but after me not replying so many many times... surely she has taken a hint! Apparantly NOT! Again with the bleeding heart.... some pple call me naive for thinking so nicely of her! haha... oh well I've taken all your advice and stopped replying to her a lllllllllllllllllllllong time ago but it still doesn't work! SOS pple! dunno lah... just continue ignoring and see how!
