isyaNIA's books club - Outliers

currently, i already read half of it. and i can summarize this book as interesting.
it tells us how we should see SUCCESS from different views. as example, bill gates. everyone thinks that he is a genius. built up a sofware and then bang! he become the richest man on earth. but actually, to be that succesful, he needs a lot of oppurtunities and lucks. and the author shows us how this combination bring success to someone. interesting right?
this is one tiny part of this book that i like most...(i even marked this part)
"The tallest oak in the forest is the tallest not just because it grew from the hardiest acorn; it is the tallest also because no other trees blocked its sunlight, the soil around it was deep and rich, no rabbit chewed through its bark as a sapling, and no lumberjack cut it down before it matured.we all know that successful people come from hardy seeds. but do we know enough about the sunlight that warmed them, the soil in which they put down the roots, and the rabbits and lumberjacks they were lucky enough to avoid? this is not a book about tall trees. it is a book about forests."
so nice. and after reading this part, i started to think who is my warm sunlight, my rich soil, the rabbit and the lumberjack that i luckily enough to avoid until i can reach this level.
thank you so much to my sunlight that non-stop giving me the warm and energy, thank you so much to my rich soil that become a home for my roots and allowing me sucking all the nutrients for me to grow and grow and grow in order to become among the tallest tree in my own forest.
p/s: finally i'm back to my favourite before-go-to-sleep routine. reading a few pages of my favourite books (medical books are stricly prohibited) with bedside lamp.

me: huh? sure u dont know oprah?
guey me: *geleng kepala
me: did u ever read forbes magazine? or watch her TV programs or read about her in internet?
guey shan: nope
me: u better do that now. oprah is among the most popular tv figure in the world. google this name...OPRAH WINFREY. guey shan, stop reading medical books for a while. read something else ok. wau, u r a true medical student. kagum2. hehe
well, in my group...i always asked questions that out from medical base. most of them come from my favourite channels, national geographic, discovery, travel and living and etc la. i asked them this kind of questions because i always failed to give the correct answer if they asked me medical questions. so ni kira balas dendam. well, they rarely watch tv...even more national geographic. in my group, only me and rupesh love to watch this kind of channels. so rupesh is out from the list. others....shot shot shot. and my lucky victim....as usual...noddy (the one that always spend her free time with superjunior)! ishk ishk ishk. and if they failed to give the correct answer...hati mula berbunga. at least i know something that they dont know. one way to de-stress myself actually. and make me think that, im not as bad as i always think.

sense of humanity
*taking a deep breath
as we go deeper to medical world, as we become more and more senior in medical school, i noticed that we started losing something on the way to that goal (graduate). we started to lose our sense of humanity. not all of us, but some of us. or maybe it just me. me with that little problem.
when i was in Accident&Emergency department (A&E) for two week, i felt that i have a lot of 'bad' thoughts. i become cruel to all the people out there.
when i was in pre-ambulance call, i wish that there will be a case. so i can get a chance to get into that ambulance and go to the scene. jahat kan.
when i was on call at night, i wish that there will be a massive bleeding case or collapsed patient. so that i can observe and assist the doctor doing all the 'medical things' to that patient.
one night, i talked with one of my friend while on da way to the A&E for on call, and her thinking was same as cruel as me. that night was raining and she started to think about the slippery road and there will be a moto-vehicle accident.
but that's us. if there is no case, we cant learn much. because we learned from cases. patient is our best text book.and this is the story from medical world.
there's one night, that one of us was asked to set IV line on one unlucky patient. and i was there to assist my friend to insert the branulla. it was so difficult to get the good vein. and there's is one dilated vein at his dorsal part of his hand, but i told my friend not to puncture that vein because it will be really2 painful to set the IV line there. painful to the patient. better we set at another vein. so, we try to seek another good dilated vein. my friend tried one attempt and failed. then....here come the doctor. and he poke that vein. the vein that we dont even have a gut to poke because we didnt want to cause pain to that patient. and as expected....the patient was in pain. and i just like....what wrong with this doctor? are we going to be like that too in the future? just trying to do it, as long as our job settle?
but i dont want to blame him. that is his job. there a lot of patients in line. and we cant waste our time only on one patient.
and maybe im just not well adapt with it. need time i guess.
but, as we go deeper in medical world...we also notice that we can do a lot of thing to save lifes. used our best knowledge to help people in needs. and helping others....it was the best thing to do in this world!
