kena 'kaco'

on my first day of my surgery posting in HSNZ, i went to ICU to meet my cousin who is working there in anaest room. so first, i rang the bell and door opened.

lady: nak jumpa sape dik?
me: saya nk cari Mohd Rajab. ada x?
lady: ada. masuk dalam anaest room k.
me: thanks!

before i entered the second door, there a sign "no white coat in ICU". so, me and my friend took off our white coat and put them on the provided stand. while taking off my coat, i heard my cousin voice. clearly. giving some order to someone and i told my friend that i already heard my cousin voice.

after that, i went straight to the room where the voice came from and...........empty. that time i was quite 'kompius' because i was still listening to my cousin voice while walking to that room. then, someone came to me and i told him that im looking for my cousin. he called my cousin and my cousin told him that he went to the bank 10mins ago. emmmm lagi kompius. but then, i just left that room and went to the ward.

yesterday, i went to my cousin's house. saje berjalan2 melihat alam. then, i told him about what happen in that ICU and he laughed at me. i told him that i am very confirmed about hearing his voice and i even told my friend that time that i heard his voice. and then....all the creepy story came out from his mouth. he believed that i am one of that 'lucky' person.

and i just like..........*nganga

well, i know hospital is a creepy place. i got one experience before in labour room in HUSM. but to get that experience on my first day in a new place........thats lagi creepy man.

alahai pakcik ku

there's one patient

came in to SOPD ward with the complaint of anterior neck swelling 2 month duration. he had history of pulmonary TB before and complete the treatment for TB. on futher questioning, he did not have any obstructive symptoms such as dysphagia and dyspnoea. he appeared to have difficulty in speaking but denied any voice changes.
so at first look........we suspected he has an enlarged thyroid.
then, we try to rule out some diagnosis. asking him any symptoms of hyperthyroid or hypothyroid. and then we arrived at this question......

dr: pakcik, ada masalah turun berat badan tak?
pakcik: ada doktor
dr: turun yang macam mane tuh? mendadak ke turun pakcik?
pakcik: mula2 pakcik timbang....berat pakcik 74kg. pahtu pakcik timbang pulak lepas tuh. berat pakcik turun. masa timbang, berat pakcik 73.8kg.
we: *alahai pakcik

well, practically there are some weight lost but if only 0.2kg, i dont think that bring any significant to the current condition. maybe ralat je kot.

but, thanks pakcik. i know he worried about the swelling and try to help us by giving any info that can lead to the diagnosis. it just...............

better i left it blank.

then pegi amik pas and head to SOPD clinic. there, we met auntie Toh (staf nurse) yg baik ati. bwk ktorg tour hospital. pegi kenalkan dgn sister2 kt wad. after that, we met Dr Roy (our supervisor). tgk appearance cam garang tp once dia bukak mulut.......lawak rupe ye.

stay in the clinic until 12. sempat jumpa senior (dr jannah) yg byk ckp and ske lyn ktorg yg banggang neh. luckily, dia byk bg tips camne nak buat elektif to menarik.

pg lunch pahtu trus blah...........melarikan diri. sampai umah trus tido. bajet penat la tuh.

besok ade OT, alahai kena bgn awal.menci2!

the best place to enjoy ur holiday is......

im home!!!

waaaaaaaa best gile. bleh tido lama2, makan banyak2 and lepak kt depan tv without any medical books, whitecoat and wad2 yang busuk.

seriously, for me MY HOME is the best place for me to enjoy my holiday. with mum's cook....everything seems to be so perfect. wallllllaaaaaa!

i'll start my practical this sunday.so wait for my update k.

p/s:mak.....buatla ketupat sotong.

*penat

ahhhhh.....finally im back to my sweet room in USM
but there's a lot of things need to be done before and after im going home.
and here is the list......

1. blogging. huhu 1 week in UM without internet was torturing. actually i forgot to bring my broadband so blogging is the first thing i need to do when i arrived at USM this morning. and u know what, the food in UM is soooooo cheap. x aci neh.
2. thank you dear for accompany me at PUTRA. at least i x boring duk sorg2 tunggu bus. i know u r tired, so thank u so much!
3. good news! i pass my last posting. so i pass all the postings in 4th year and now i am officially a final year student in medical course. * clap clap. huhu i started to feel that the weight of my name tag is increasing. arghhhh....1 year to go. and if everything is following the correct route, i'll graduate on march 2010. lets pray together k.
4. my MASUM match. BUCUK cam cipan. thats the conclusion la coz we lost. there were goals but no gold. i believe that all of us can play well but there's something missing in that team. a CHEMISTRY i guess. and because of that, we kept doing silly stupid mistakes. A LOT of silly stupid mistakes.
5. I hate PACKING!!!! ahhhh i need to pack all my stuff (believe me, a lot of stuff) and clean up my room. menci2!
6. this 24 of march, i will start my elective posting in HKT for one month. huhu i need my cuti. x cukup lagi ke practikal kt HUSM???

ok, i need to go. off to pack my stuff.see ya!

finally it is over

oh my goshh.......i am so relieved.

finally, i reach the final day of fourth year. and i am so damn happy. thank GOD i got a very kind examiner today (dr maizun). i tried to make the session so simple and making the air not so tense, and luckily dr maizun was happy about that. and i hope the outcome will be good.

however, the summary for fourth year.............

it was sucks, torturing and full with stress. seriously, for young medical students out there, you might be 'teruja' to enter the clinical years but bear in mind that clinical year is not a pleasant memory. not a pleasant memory for me at all. luckily, i 'lulus' all the posting except for OnG because the result will be out tomorrow. hope i will get another 'LULUS' to complete my fourth year. *praying

so now, i am packing the stuff for KL trip tonight for one week. arggghhhh so many things la. menci2.

ready to be off to KL in searching for gold.

exam n masum

last weekend i went to USM main campus. had netball training for MASUM which will be held at UM this 13-20 Mei 09. quite crazy actually. because i still can go to the training while the end posting exam just around the corner. there, i tried to think positive. luckily i met some of my batchmates but they were not in killer posting. hate it. hate all of u. hehe suka suki je nak benci org.

well, my training.........it was sucks. i hate it so much. not because i have to run around 3.6km early in the morning while noddy was sleeping happily in her room with some drooling (haha), or because i have to warm up in the middle of the hot sunlight or burned all my skin.i hate it because of my team mates. not all of them. but some of them who act like she is an international player.

i played netball more than 10 years but i never been that pressured while training. how come i can stand, playing there while some of them kept scolding you or your other team mates like you are a 'kelab kampung' player. if you nak tegur or say something, proper manner and tone la. and then, i dont like when they comparing the induk player with health campus and engineering campus players. hello, we won SUKAD four times in the row maaaaaaaaa. and we beat all of you with the double or triple than your score. ni rasa nak berlagak neh. huhu sabar sya.

thank god i have to go back to my campus because of the exam. to hanis, fiza jr and aishah, sorry for leaving all of you there. bersabar ek sayang.

so, the list for my clinical exam came out already. my exam is on wednesday, 23o-430. hopefully, i will get a good examiner, that willing to pass me and not torturing me so much during exam. and mcq is tomoro morning at 9. it must be a lot of shooting i guess. so, tonight is the time to polish my bazuka and whatsoever. haha

after the clinical exam, packing, and i have a flight to catch at 840. i will be in KL for one week for MASUM in UM. so, anyone who is in KL, terasa nk jupe i, do sms or come to UM. hehe

so, dear bloggers and readers, pray for my success in my end posting exam and masum. pray that i will pass the exam, no need to do remidial posting and then get gold for USM.

amin.......

finally, i know the reason why......

today i met isma (my super energatic team D mate).

well, yesterday she was been tortured mentally and physically by prof shah with my other team D mates.

and she told me what was happen when she went to his room this morning to send her homework.

while marking the paper, prof shah told her the reason why he become that bloody scary to medical student.

well, he said that our job (medical students) are to study, study and study but their job (lecturer) are to prepare us to be a good and safe doctor to the society. *touching

he said that life as Houseman Officer (HO) just nearly like hell. and we (future fresh grad) need to be prepare mentally and physically for that. for that reason, he tortured us first to make sure that we are mentally prepared for the HO life. he said he loves everyone that was under his team, and thats why he try to make a good job by teaching us all the things that we, as HO need and must know.

and about tortured physically, THAT WAS A TRUE STORY. both my teammates already got 'post traumatic stress disorder' after been punched a lot of time. and 'lucky' gui shan got a few bruises. and he dont care either u r female or male. as long as u are a medical student, u are allowed to be punched by him. thank god, i never got those punches.

to be truth, i am bloody scared when i know that i will be in team D. but after 5 weeks following the round and 'special' classes with our top specialists (prof shah and dr che annuar), i gained a lot of knowledge. in medical posting, i didnt study until the final week. but in this posting, i started since the first day. just imagine how much cortisol i produced for the last 5 weeks. they made us to be afraid but at the same time, they made us to be prepared.

now, looking forward for long case n mcq for end posting examination next week. god, please give me a benign examiner.......amin. someone that will help me to pass this posting.

i got an iPod!

yeay!

although it was not my birthday, my dear brother gave me an iPod. OMG thank u so much bro. you dont know how much i love it and now im addicted to this red tiny thing.

this iPod shuffle is a limited edition of RED product with SHELL. it has SHELL Bukom Safety icon which is can be used while working at SHELL, in a dangerous area i guess. well, is USM be considered as dangerous? haha

now, im looking forward for another 'i'.

iPhone, iMac and I LOVE U.
