OCULAR DISEASE PROFICIENCY EXAMINATION

A Poem by Enald

The second proficiency examination, a daunting fight,

On ocular disease, in fading light

Just like having cataract, retinitis pigmentosa, or lesions

I hoped I can score not equal to 4 extensions

The first page, a stranger's face

The second, too, in this unfamiliar test

Perhaps I only knew Marcus Gunn

Perhaps that's because I want to have a Gunn

And shoot at the person of who I've become

A person who didn't study well for the Ocular Disease

Or am I the disease, myself, I ponder?

Will getting rid of me, the disease, make the world a better place?

No.

Because I still have a goal

I still have a purpose

And that is not by becoming a disease to other people

But become a doctor who corrects vision

I may not be the best at ocular disease

But that doesn't mean I'll continue being a disease

Xanthelasma are yellow

Poliosis are white

I want to be a healthy bacterium

So I can shine bright ☀️

Cheers for finishing the second proficiency exam!
