So just now i got a breech with previous scar. erghhh... dah laa bace main selak2 je breech. Puas menghafal GDM n PE dapat2 breech! so just recall what ever that i hv learn dlm kelas n tutorials n all. haha. weng! sibbaik during waiting to be called tu, one of us tanye, "eh if breech n have prev scar, whats the mode of delivery eh?" n somebody answered: "anything plus breech = LSCS" hehe.. then the funny part is that, tak tau macam mane, the SFH was smaller than date! damn! n the worst part is that i didnt mention wrong date (the most common cause) could be one of the cause if SFD! huhuhu... hopefully i'll do okey... hmmm... insyaAllah.. pray for me ye.. =)

owh n ps: i drove to sjh on my own today! haha. to those who knew me, they all know that i dont really drive. akan tetapi oleh kerana takde pilihan lain, terpaksa juga saye memandu ke sjh. =D

Eid Adha

Hari nie Hari Raya.

Hari nie saye gie Solat sunat Eid Adha di Masjid Negeri.

Hari nie saye b'fast Mc'D! hoho.. raye makan Mc'D.
Ape kes pagi2 makan Mc'D Bfast move it2.
Tak kene ngan tekak kampong saye.

Saye nak nasik impit mak ngan kuah kacang.
Saye nak rendang daging n ayam ngan lemang.
Saye nak ratah lempap yg fresh!
Saye nak balik raye...

Tp esok perekse.
Jadi tak boleh balik.
Duduk Penang diam2 n belajar.

Anggap ini pengorbanan utk tahun ini.
Walau dah di M'sia, tetap tak boleh balik beraya.
;)

Closer

Closer ~ Joshua Radin =)

The Longest Week.

finally, the longest week of my life has come to an end..!! =)

Tuesday wif paeds OSCE.
~ i do not want to talk about paeds.

Wednesday was O&G written.
~ wasnt too bad... the MCQ as usual was quite tricky but not as bad as psych! hopefully i didnt misinterpret the Qs..

Thursday wif psych OSCE.
~ i had my worst anxiety that morning.
seriously! as usual i couldn't eat my b'fast. just a cup of coffee. thats normal.
then as we're approaching the exam hall, i could feel that my heart beats a little bit faster. i guess there're missing beats juga. huhu. but i can still tolerate that until 30mins before my turn, the palpitation gets worse n the butterfly in my stomach lg.. it was as if diorg nak kuar from perot jek! then ngan pening2 lalat lg!.. n the worst part is that there was some kind of derealisation! gosh! sibbaik Ja noticed that i wasnt me n "wake me up".

but the exam went pretty okey.. those that i spotted kuar tho not exactly as what i imagined.. cume nye the dimentia station je tak sure camne.. MMSE tak sempat habis.. wasnt my fault that that pak cik took his own sweet time to answer all my Qs..

Friday (today!!) was O&G OSCE.
~ all in all, not too bad as well. its just that the bimanual exam wasn't smooth enough!! erghh... rugi2.. that's an easy station to gain marks. there rest was fair.. n sempat peek my marks for the counseling station about the IOL lagi! wasnt bad at all. ;)

so, as there wud be plenty of time before the Long Case (Clinical) for O&G next Tuesaday.. i'm gonna take some time off sekejap. i need it. this POP exam is giving me such a bad headache. Literally bad headache!

dub dab dub dab...

i feel my heart is beating extra fast
mcm nak terkeluar dah jantung nie..

i feel light headed..
mcm melayang2
bila baca pon i see the words terapung2
mcm org dyslexic see the words.

i feel so numb that
sometimes i couldnt hear what i said.
sometimes some sort of -wernicke's aphasia..
or at times neologism
at times word approximation.
susah nye nak concentrate

i had difficulty sleeping
when in revising i feel sleepy
but when i want to sleep, i couldn't
so many things running in my mind..
if i do fall asleep, i'd had difficulty maintaining good sleep
sometimes terjaga byk kali..
when i wake up, im not that refreshed.

i feel that my palms are xtra moist that
i have to have tissue paper with me.
nak wipe it so that its easier to hold the pen.

i feel my throat is so dry..
nak ckp pon tak kuor suara..
nak bfast pon takleh nak telan..
as if there' "a lump in the throat"

i feel that my bowel movement is more 'active'..
mcm nak kene gie toilet selalu tp bila smpi toilet takde ape yg kuar..
false alarm! haishhh..

i feel that i need to 'wee' more frequently..
tho i dont drink much..

yesh.. some of my anxiety symptoms..

so i need to make sure that im prepared for the exam.
supaya boleh kurangkan rase anxious nie.

Nur Alisha Afikah

She's my niece. So last weekend sempat laa nak assess her gross developmental progress. =))

So far for her gross motor:
Icha no longer has head lag when pull to sit.
Instead she lifts her head with full anticipation.
She sits with her back straight, on and off hand off the couch.
She bears full weight on legs when stands with support.
Boleh rolls from supine to prone n prone to supine.
n yesh, the comando crawl! laju gile nak amik her toys.

As for her vision & fine motor:
She's able to reach out her hands for objects.
Transfer toys n stuff from one hand to another.
Dah takde squint juge.
Also able to feed herself wif biscuits dia yg tawar
n slalu buat muka tak puas hati nak makan juge ape org lain makan.
Inferior pincer grasp belom develop lg..

Bercakap?
Still babbling in single syllables.
Kengkadang i heard she said something like 'icha'. hehe
N also immitates the single syllable babbling yg kita buat.
Cute!

Socially,
beautiful social smile.
Responds when calls her name.
be it alisha, cicha, isha, icha, alisha afiqah.
N yesh, ade stranger anxiety too.
(kesian you be able to held icha kejap je the other day..)

makanya, her developmental progress is appropriate for age.
She 7 months old now.

Below was the conversation between me n abul after he fetch me from airport n hantar me balik the other night. While having our late dinner sambil tgk icha main with her blue whale soft toy ngan atuk n uwa..

you: hmmm.... you, nak satu.. (with a cheeky fishy smile while looking at icha main)
me: what? that fish?? okey nnt ill look one for you. (i answer back ngan innocent nye.. then sambung makan..)
you: *dgn muke with the expression:~ ish dia nie.. fish pulak...*
me: *hehehehehe... how on earth cud i think he wanted a fish...*

Catalyst

Last weekend, i've retrieved "My Precious" (say it like Gollum LOTR did) from mak.

My catalyst to keep me going. hehe. thank you, You. =))

Highlights

Highlights of the day:

0800-1300hrs: Short Cases Paeds

1430-1630hrs: Written Paeds

2100-2150hrs: AK5275 Pen-LCCT =)))

*cant wait to go back!! rindu nye everybody!* =D

will be back in penang on monday untuk meneruskan perjuangan yg blom selesai. POP(Psychiatry-O&G-Paeds) exam is next!

Happy Bday AbangKu!

yup, hari nie bday my one n only abang.

So Happy Bday ye abang. Semoge panjang umur, murah rezeki, di kurniakan zuriat yg soleh-solehah. n yang paling penting, semoge boleh berenti merokok! ;)

Berdua lebih baik!

The Bottom Line
It's all about pairs for you -- group situations are fun, but they're not for you.

In Detail
Better than anyone else right now, you understand the energy that a connection between two people can create. It's all about pairs, for you -- group situations can be fun, but right now they're going to feel more strange than stimulating. What you really crave (and what you really need!) is to spend time with just one other person. It can be your sweetie, a sibling, a friend, or even a stranger. But living your life as part of a pair today will be very rewarding and revealing.

That's what my horoscope said today. ;p

This morning me n another 4 friends were in the wards doing short cases revision for the up coming paeds exam. Then after 2 short cases of a group of 5, me n another friend decided to just work in pair. senang sikit. n i find it more useful. N surprisingly, balik2 saje2 tgk horoscope, "What a coincidence!" haha

ps: jgn percaya pada horoscope ye kawan2 muslimin sekalian. ape yg jadi today cuma kebetulan je sama ngan the horoscope. mungkin nak uji tahap keimanan...

owh, n i dont read horoscope on regular basis. cuma kengkadang terasa gatal nak bace je. ;p

"Little giant" sets record at hospital

That was one of the headlines by The New Sunday Times, Nov 09 on page 4.

So the baby was delivered in Hospital Sultanah Bahiyah, Alor Star, by C-section, birth weight 5.32kg with the initial estimated fetal weight of 3.5kg. Other important maternal conditions ware not stated. (Medical informations are confidential anyways)

Its weird. The way they put this story together was as if it was a competition to deliver little giants.

As I was reading that headline, the first thing that i think of was "My goodness. Was she a diabetic? (as most common cause of big baby is baby of diabetic moms) How bad was the control agaknye.." n various complications that the baby might had...

But alhamdulillah.. They said that both the mother and baby were fine.

ps: haihhh... jgn laa ade yg berangan nak give birth to the biggest baby so that dapat masuk paper pulak lepas nie...

Reminiscence

Henry's Street, Dublin Dec '06.

all of a sudden, i miss being in Dublin..

the cold. (haha. weng)
the wind n misserable drizzle..
the walk from home to RCSI or town..
those streets.

An afternoon walk in St. Stephen's Green Park during spring..
with a cup of nice and warm Butler's Chocholate Mocca.
hmmm...

Kosong

"didalam keramaian aku masih merasa sepi,
sendiri memikirkan kamu.."

Kosong, by Dewa.

survival

"come what come may, time & the hour runs through the roughest day... ~ MacBeth"

i've survive the most dangerous transitional phase 24++ years ago from the safest and comfort intra-uterine life to the unpredictable non-protected extra-uterine environment.

even the journey of the few hours via the birth canal was potentially dangerous. so many things that could have gone wrong within that few hours. n yet i made it.

so, yes you can go through the exams ye cik mazlinda.
as if u've never been thru an exam before...

*pray for my success ye*

* ya Allah.. permudahkanlah ianya bagiku..*

Falling Slowly

by Glen hansard & Marketa Irglova
OST Once.



i wanted to watch this movie. tp tak tau nak dpt kt mane.. anyone knows?
irish musical movie..

I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You've made it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along

hazards of baby walker.

n Mr. Mohan ckp lagi when he was lecturing on paeds trauma.

'get rid of the baby walker. it brings bad things rather than good things.'

nape?
- your child will be RUNNING PREMATURELY! mane tak nye..
if ikut normal developmental progress of a child, they should only be running at the age (mean age) of 1.5-2 years old.. if dh letak your baby dlm walker as early as 6-8 month old. tak ke awal tu dia berlari..

- so dah boleh lari awal, this will predispose anak2 yg tak bersalah kepada other injury.
masuk toilet ke. ke dapur then dpt burn injury from minyak panas or air panas. ye la budak kecik semua nak dicapai. kalau capai pisau lagi laa haru.... kalau jatuh tangga lagi laa tak tau nak ckp apa...

- lagi ~ abnormal abduction of the hip. maksudnye maka kengkang lah bayi itu. cuba tgk cane bdk duduk dlm walker tu.. hmmm...

kata mr mohan lg.. the west dah byk buat research on this topic. the results are mostly against the use of baby walker. they're trying to get rid of the walker. then they dumped them here in the east or asia.
n kita yg tak tau, pi laa bli walker for our children supaya senang keje.
senang ke? elok2 baby baring2 golek2 tp skrg nak kene keep eye ke mana dia dah cruise...

hmmm....

nie salah satu dr studies itu..

sesungguhnya pisau itu mmg tajam!

huhu. mmg tajam.
sekali 2 jari jemariku dihiris!
selepas brapa bulan tak menghiris jari.

sibbaik sedap bihun goreng itu...

*alangkah bosan nye weekend panjang di penang seorang diri....*

Homemade ORS part II

As i've promised, so here's a translated version of
"How to make a Home-Made-Oral-Rehydration-Solution"
as requested by my beloved along. =)))

Bahan2 nye:
1. 1 liter air. Dididih n disejukkan ke suhu bilik.
{penting utk biar air dididihkan utk bunuh kuman2 nye n
biar ia sejuk dgn cara yg betul. jgn biar terdedah kt lalat atau pape lain yg kotor..
n jgn guna air yg panas menggelegak nak bancuh bahan2 nie.
air panas mendidih akan men'decompose' gula.}

2. 8 SUDU TEH gula

3. 1 SUDU TEH garam
{sila measure baik2 garam nie. jgn terlebih byk pulak ye.
sbb nye bdk2 tak suka laa of kelat masin sgt. tak sedap.
mereka tak nak minum nnt.
N 2ndly, dlm kes2 terlampau ,
byk sgt garam nnt boleh kena fit/ sawan/ tarik.
makanya, air bancuhan tu nnt sepatutnye rasa masin2 mcm air mata sahaja.
kalau lebih masin dari air mata, perlulah dibuang yg it dan buat lah yg baru.}

Skrg bancuh dlm bekas yg BERSIH...

Bila nak minum?
setiap kali lepas cirit-birit...

Byk mana??
preferably, more or less the same amout of fluid loss.
Mcm.. if the diarrhoea is about 'secawan penuh',
so bg laa about secawan juga..
Tp tak yah laa bg semua sekali gus. sedikit demi sedikit.
If ada muntah2 juga, tunggu 15-20 minit,
then baru start bagi ORS sikit2...

** org dewasa n kanak2 yg dh besar sket preferably drink total of 3/4 - 1 litre/day until they are well.

** kanak2 bwh 2 tahun: around 1/4 - 1/2 of cawan tiap kali lps cirit birit.
**kanak2 > 2tahun : 1/2 - 1 tiap kali lepas cirit birit itu...

What do u do with the extra solution??
Boleh simpan dlm peti sejok MAX OF 24 HOURS sahaja.
after 24 jam, buanglah ORS yg tak habis tu..
bacteria ke, virus ke, yeast ke, fungus ke boleh membiak dlm air bancuhan ORS itu.
Sbb the solution contains gula kan..?
"Sugary" solution grows microbs faster. Nnt the diarrhoea tak berhenti pulak.

Note:
~ ORS bukan ubat utk hentikan cirit birit. Ia cuma ganti semula fluid n garam dlm badan yg hilang bersama2 cirit birit itu...
~ Selalunya cirit birit biasa disebabkan oleh virus. jd biasanya akan elok sendiri dlm beberapa hari... antibiotic tidak membantu. kan ke antibiotic tu utk bakteria, bukan nye virus. =)
~ sila beri makan anak2 anda seperti biasa.. nasi nya ke, susu nya ke.. n advise minum air byk2 juga. igt jgn campur ORS anda ngan susu or jus. guna AIR KOSONG untuk buat ORS.

~ bawa anak berjumpa doctors jika:
- anak semakin kurang selera makan..
- keadaan menjadi lebih tak sihat
- DEMAM
- ada DARAH bercampur ngan cirit birit itu.
mungkin cirit birit bukan hanya disebabkan oleh virus biasa. jadi rawatan selanjut n proper perlu dilakukan...

Hope this post maybe beneficial. =))

hello sunshine!!

yesterday i had a lecture on common surgical problem in paeds, trauma n burns.
mr. mohan took us.
mr. mohan, a tall n long n funny guy.
owh n he looks like alex mahone in prison break. haha.
but seriously.
his class was never boring at all.
nyesal pulak that i ponteng his class before the raya break the other week.

anyway, the things that i remember most:
"if u never shake the tree,
you'll never get the mango!!"

hihi.

dia ckp lagi:
"never accept anything that is presented to you as if the are a doctrine.
ask questions. critically appraised even if its a trial published in a well known journal!"

okey2. i'll have to critically appraise this review paper for my neonate write-up.
hohoho. critically appraise a review paper. from cochrane library pulak tu.
n its prof jackie's paper. bijak sangat kamu mazlinda.
mcm dah takley pilih paper lain.
masak laa saye. huhu

Be strong ye Sab..

Td sab bgtau, Tok dia dah meninggal..
Inna Lillahi wainna illahi raajiun..
Sab nie mmg sangat rapat ngan Tok nye.

Be strong ye sab.
Setiap yg hidup pasti akan mati.
Semoga Tok ditempatkan dikalangan org2 yg dirahmati.

Homemade ORS

As i've promised, so here's an entry on
"How to make a Home-Made-Oral-Rehydration-Solution"

The ingredients:
1. 1 litre of Water. Boiled and cooled.
{it is important to let the water to boil to disinfect it n let it cool appropriately,
making sure that the water is not exposed to lalat or what not.
Dont use hot water ye. As hot boiling water will decompose the sugar.}

2. 8 TEASPOONS of sugar

3. 1 TEASPOONS of table salt
{plz.. dont put too much of salt ye. first it may not taste good, n therefore
the child might not want to drink it. N 2ndly, in extreme cases,
too much salt may lead to convulsion/fit.
so the solution should taste like your tears.
kalau mcm terlebih masin, plz discard it n make a new one.}

Okey, now mixed these ingredients in a CLEANED container.

Bila nak minum?
After each bouts of diarrhoea...

How much?
preferably, more or less the same amout of fluid loss.
Mcm.. if the diarrhoea is about one cup full,
so bg laa about one cup juga..
Tp tak yah laa bg semua sekali gus. Sip by sip is fine.
a few tablespoon at a time.
If ada muntah2 juga, wait for about 15-20 mins,
then baru start giving the solution little by little.

** adults n kanak2 yg dh besar sket preferably drink about 3/4 - 1 litre/day until they are well.

** infant under 2 years old: around 1/4 - 1/2 of large cup after each diarrhoea.
**older children: 1/2 - 1 cup after each diarrhoea.

What do u do with the extra solution??
you may keep them. refregerated MAX OF 24 HOURS sahaja.
after 24 hours, please discard ALL of the remainder.
The solution might grow bacteria ke, virus ke, yeast ke, fungus ke.
Sbb the solution contains sugar remember?
"Sugary" solution grows microbs faster. Nnt the diarrhoea tak berhenti pulak.

Note:
~ ORS does not stop the diarrhoea. It only replenish the salt loss with the diarrhoea.
~ Usually the diarrhoea is viral in origin, n therefore may resolve by itself. No need to take antibiotics.
~ plz continue feeding as usual.
~ DONT HESITATE to visit ur doctors if:
- ur child not able to drink or breastfeed or drink poorly.
- become sicker
- develops fever
- notice BLOOD in their stool.

"ey, u oncall alone? how are u going later? want me to fetch u?"

hihihi. bagai pucuk di cita ulam mendatang.

ps: just now i learnt how to make a 'homemade-oral-rehydration-solution'. i'll post up about it in the next entry lah. too tired. post-call. needed some rest.

to go or not to go....

hmmm... td, after short shower then asar, sy keluar bilik nak ke dapur. have to prepare something for iftar. then buka2 pintu bilik, nampak sab's car key n a note.

kata sab, she's not feeling well. n wont be able to make it for the night-call tonite. so, she leave me her car key so that i can still go later..

hmmmm... havent really drive in penang nie. cane nie.. last time i drove, after night call for o&g. sab wasn't feeling well jg at that time. but, masa tu late at night. tak byk kereta.

n its raining really heavily skrg. tgk dulu laaa. if it stops raining after maghrib, i'll go. if it still raining mcm nie... hmmmm...

*rain rain.. go away... come back another day ye...*

mawi??

last night i was doing the night-call@night-duty at the NNW (neonatal ward).

so, after seeing the pre-term babies in the other cubicles, i went to the neonatal jaundice cubicle. there in the room was the parents of one of the baby. not sure what they were doing as they were facing the opposite site. nursing ke.. changing the nappy ke.. so, me n sab was clerking the ticket. biasalah, neonate mane bleh bg history, so their ticket laa the source of history. i wanted to check on this one baby yg ade hydrocephalus [accumulation of fluid in the cavities of the brain, causing enlargement of the head in children] with enchepalocele. [this is a variant of the neural tube defect, in which a part of the brain has extrude through the skull defect. so mothers n those yg planned to be mothers, do take your folic acid supplement ye. folic acid IS proven to prevent neural tube defect. =)]

so, as i was reading his progress, tiba2 that parents approach us from behind, 'tumpang tanye, toilet kat mane ye?'

n so i turn, pastu macam tergamam kejap. *apsal the dad rupa mcm mawi???* hehe. terus mcm lupa apa dia tanye. haha. n dah laa that night was our first night at that ward. n we usually use the staff toilet. so, how do i know?!. n the dad gelak je tgk kitorg mcm blur2 tak tau where's the visitors toilet. at last sab suggested that there might be a toilet along the corridor outside the ward.

haha. lawak btol. though im not a mawi fan, tp mcm terkejut jugak laa kan. owh btw, the dad WAS NOT MAWI YE. pelanduk dua serupa je.

okie then, nak finish off prematurity n its related problem. then read on neural tube defect pula.

mari belajar!

finally dapat semangat utk belajar rajin2!

why? sbb, i've (we've) get scolded (a few hours ago) by the m.o oncall for not knowing basic stuff!!

haha. padam muka. org dah suruh study malas...

but seriously, i finally have got the semangat. tq dr!! finally ade jugak org nak marah.

okie, ive got to read something on prematurity before going to bed! =)

A Good Today, and A Better Tomorrow

Today I will delete from my diary
two days: yesterday and tomorrow
Yesterday was to learn
and tomorrow will be the consequence
of what I can do today

Today I will face life
with the conviction that this day
will not ever return.

Today is the last opportunity
I have to live intensely,
as no one can assure me
that I will see tomorrow's sunrise.

Today I will be brave enough
not to let any opportunity pass me by,
my only alternative is to succeed.

Today I will invest
my most valuable resource: my time,
in the most transcendental work: my life;

I will spend each minute
passionately to make
of today a different
and unique day in my life.

Today I will defy every obstacle
that appears on my way trusting
I will succeed.

Today I will resist
pessimism and will conquer
the world with a smile,
with the positive attitude
of expecting always the best.

Today I will make of every ordinary task
a sublime expression,

Today I will have my feet on the ground
understanding reality
and the stars' gaze
to invent my future.

Today I will take the time to be happy
and will leave my footprints and my
presence in the hearts of others.

Today, I invite you to begin a new season
where we can dream
that everything we undertake is possible
and we fulfill it,
with joy and dignity.

* A dear friend mailed me this poem sometime ago.. Wondering how's he doing now. Wish u well my dear friend. To U, ur wife n ur child*

Apabila kemalasan semakin menguasai....

huhuhu..

i haven't started my paeds case write-up. Not even a word!! huhu. The due date is tomorrow, 13 Oct by 5.00PM. We were given 2-weeks. In fact 3 weeks sebenarnya including the one week off for raya break. Tapi baru sekarang nak start buat. Sampai bila nak satisfy by just being a mediocre medical student!?... I used to be one of those high achievers during the school days. Where has that person gone?

I MUST get started! Stay focused. Be objective! dei!!! jangan malas lah! :((

**Adult learning is not easy.. Mcm langit ngan bumi.. mase O&G di-spoon feed seperti baby. Now Paeds semua kene buat sendiri n be independent... I'd be lost if not being objective n consistent.**

Like You'll Never See Me Again

BY Alicia Keys.



If I had no more time
No more time left to be here
Would you cherish what we had?
Was it everything that you were looking for?
If I couldn't feel your touch
And no longer were you with me
I'd be wishing you were here
To be everything that I'd be looking for
I don't wanna forget the present is a gift
And I don't wanna take for granted the time you may have here with me
'Cause Lord only knows another day is not really guaranteed

So every time you hold me
Hold me like this is the last time
Every time you kiss me
Kiss me like you'll never see me again
Every time you touch me
Touch me like this is the last time
Promise that you'll love me
Love me like you'll never see me again

Oh Oh Oh

How many really know what love is?
Millions never will
Do you know until you lose it
That it's everything that we are looking for
When I wake up in the morning
You're beside me
I'm so thankful that I found
Everything that I been looking for

I don't wanna forget the present is a gift
And I don't wanna take for granted the time you may have here with me
'Cause Lord only knows another day is not really guaranteed

So everytime you hold me
Hold me like this is the last time
Every time you kiss me
Kiss me like you'll never see me again
(can you do that for me baby)
Every time you touch me
(see we don't really know)
Touch me like this is the last time
(see everyday we never know)
Promise that you'll love me
(I want you to promise me)
Love me like you'll never see me again
(like you'll never see me again)

the undesired outcome!

during the first day in the ward after the raya break, i almost forgotten how a murmur should sound like!!

we were supposed to examine 2 different patient yesterday.

the first patient, during the first time auscultating, i was like "hmmm... the heart sound was funny. something is wrong. but ape ye???" then discuss with a colleague, and so i re-examine the patient. so yes, there's a murmur but the murmur i was hearing does not tally with the murmur i shud be hearing. so macam mana nie!! huhu

2nd patient. yes i heard the murmur. it was very obvious. but again. what i heard does not tally with what i shud he hearing! double macam mana nie!!!! waaaaaa!!!!

in conclusion: never go for too long a holiday without any revision!!

The Raya Outcome.

With regards to the proposed mission ive made prior to cuti raya...
1. Kemas rumah: hihihihi. done. mostly cuci dinding with adeq. mostly the rearranging n redecorating was done by angah.

2. Kumpul duit raya: to my surprise, masih dapat!! haha. i mean, i thought the non-family dah tak bagi duit raye dah. tp tak ramai pon yg bg. hihi. well, this raya might be the last raya im expecting for duit raya sbb insyaAllah next year dah start kerja n so i have to give out duit raya laa pulak! huhuhu... ;p

3. Revisions on the kids: hmmm... done. n alhamdulillah i think they are perfectly normal. lungs are clear, heart DRNM. Developmental appears to be appropriate with age. its just that along is a bit concern that muji still cannot paddle the bike. but other gross motor development was normal.. but it cud be that he is just a bit late in that area.... otherwise he's fine. so sy advice along to voice up the concern to her doc during the next hospital or clinic visits in the near future..

so mission accomplished laa ek? ;))

others:

4. DAGING DAGING DAGING: saye menjual daging! yup, i did that. my very first experience. i was the butcher! so, as usual, 2 days before raya (especially in N9) is hari mantai. this is the day when ppl will buy daging2 fresh for rendang especially. during the previous years, abah will buy daging at kuala pilah but this year abah n a neighbor decided to jual daging themselves! so dah terlanjur di rumah, angah, adeq n myself volunteered to help. abah n the pak cik melapah. myself, as angah ckp dah biasa ngan darah2 was given the job to cut the daging into smaller parts n pack them. {yeah!! surgeon in the making!! haha.} and at the same time, studying the cows' internal organ mcm the lungs n kidney n liver n the spleen. habis saye cincang nak tgk the structure! haha. but cudnt lay hand on the intestines n brain. the intestines were the first to go. n the otak, abah open up the head lambat sangat. ive retired masuk rumah already. hihi

5. mercun n bunga api!!! after so many years, kami bermain bunga api skali lagi. haha. but mostly muji & me-me yg main. ;p

other&others.

6. Beraya ke rumah *sayang* =))) : with mak, abah, angah n adeq before bertolak ke bentong on Day3 of Raya. n mak made a killer statement there. "bdk2 nie mmg tak reti buat air...." hahaha. habis jatuh menjunam sahamku. hihi.

7. Makan banyak! yup, especially last sunday with abul. we had our dinner @ the kapitan. makan nasi briyani claypot. n surprisingly, i managed to finish up the whole big portion!! haha. but i guess maybe the nasi is not too filling mcm the usual nasi briyani. agaknye laa kan... tp kalau dah makan byk tu, mengaku je laaa...... ;p

Selamat Hari Raya & Maaf Zahir Batin. =)

yeay!!

hehe. today is THURSDAY already! Im off to my lovely home esok! tak sabarnye!!

missions..:

1: Kemas rumah for raya.
2:Kumpul duit raya! haha
3:As for revisions: Muji & Jame & Chicha will be my patients! ngehehe.
i shall bring home all the needed tools. =))
Objective:
- Auscultate Muji & Jame's lungs + try to listen if there's any innocent murmurs.
- N developmental assessment for all! hihihi.

okie then, gotta be ready for cardio clinic later.

kerinduanku...

Senyum2 lepas sahur... =))

Got this from this site. hehe. saje2 nak share. =)

Ceritanya cam ni,

Ada seorang pompuan , masa tu dia sedang berhenti ditepi jalan sambil melihat keadaan keretanya yang kemek.
hari dah nak masuk magrib, dia menjadi semakin resah. Dah lah jalan tu sempit, lampu jalan tak de pulak.

Tiba-tiba datang sebuah motosikal datang dari arah bertentangan. Dah lah tak pasang lampu, tak pakai topi keledar.. laju pulak tu.. macam pelesit.
Perempuan tu apa lagi, dia terus menjerit " Hoi.. Babiiiiiiiii....... Slow
sikit....."

Bila mendengar laungan perempuan tu, apa lagi, penunggang motosikal tu pun menjerit balas .. "Celaka!!!!! F**k you!!!, P****k kau!!!".." Bagerooo..."
sedap jer cakap babi...."

Selang beberapa saat.. tiba-tiba terdengar satu dentuman yang kuat....
Perempuan tadi berlari kearah bunyi dentuman tersebut..
Apabila sampai ke sana, kelihatan budak tu terpelanting dalam semak manakala motosikal nya remuk sama sekali.

Rupa-rupanya, dia dah langar babi yang telah dilanggar oleh perempuan tadi.

Moral of the Story : "Hoi babi!!!!!!!! slow skit!!!!" tu bukanya marah...
tapi nak bagi tau jer....yang ada babi tergolek kat depan....hehehehehehe

But i would have been better if that kakak has said: "Dik, ade babi kt depan!! slow sket!!" hehehe..

Everything should be said and stated clearly. kalau tak spinning laa jawab nye mcm coretan CheDet nie.. But i guess, what CheDet meant was writing a report about what a person has said in a totally different meaning. Alaaa.. mcm one of the Dr. House nye episodes when a reality tv is following his team for a coverage on a dysmorphic boy who wishes to undergo a very risky plastic surgery operation tu...

but anyways, Ramadhan is ending pretty soon. Terasa mcm sekejap sangat je Ramadhan this year.. Hope I will make the best of it. =)

N i'm looking foward to going back this friday!! bestnye2!! but along n abang will be celebrating 1st Shawal at their in-laws. Huhuhu.. Sure a bit sunyi Raya this year. =(

baru baru!!

hehehe. new look. but i wanted to add more stuff... tp dont know how. seems like a bit complicated! nvrmind.. i shall ask my sisters. hihi.

*you, nak daisies plz...*

lame nye tak update...

hmm... how many months have passed ye since the last post..?

its not that there's no interesting story about the psych patients..

then come back to penang for the 2-weeks anaesthesia posting (of which during the 2nd week i was busy revising for psych again for a re-sit long case ~ sigh...)

then the marvelous but too short one week mid-sem break which i spent in segamat then busy shopping with adeq after returning to seremban.

after that starting my obstetrics and gynaecology posting for the last 2 months... i should say that so far, apart from medicine and surgery, this is the most enjoyable rotation.. should i be considering O&G..?? hehe

many things happened but i just couldnt find the time or compose the words. hehe. or in other word ~ M.A.L.A.S
=D

but now, i think i might wanna start writing again.

currently im doing my paediatrics rotation. first week. hopefully it will turn out fine. =)

hopefully ill do okey. insyaAllah..
takmo repeat any papers....

owh, n im expecting another anak buah by the end of march!!
cant wait to see this little person! *all-excited!*

The eye plays host to many diseases

the more you look, the more you'll see,
and the more you'll enjoy medicine,
for the eye is beautiful,
and its signs are legion.

ye.. n that's why im always confuse each time after i look at the fundus!! so many things.. n yet i couldnt make up what are they. hmmmmm.....

The Oath of the Doctor..

I swear by God ...The Great

To regard God in carrying out my profession

To protect human life in all stages and under all circumstances,doing my utmost to rescue it from death, malady, pain and anxiety. .

To keep peoples' dignity, cover their privacies and lock up their secrets ...

To be, all the way, an instrument of God's mercy, extending my medical care to near and far, virtuous and sinner and friend and enemy.

To strive in the pursuit of knowledge and. harnessing it for the benefit but not the harm of Mankind.

To rever my teacher, teach my junior, and be brother to members of the Medical Profession .joined in piety and charity.

To live my Faith in private and in public, avoiding whatever blemishes me in the eyes of God, His apostle and my fellow Faithful.

And may God be witness to this Oath.

a shark in need!

i was spring-cleaning {is it even spring yet?? haha. who cares anyway. ;p} my inbox earlier n found this email. forwarded by a friend quite sometime ago. so, here it goes...

FW: Logic of Life........ Self Motivation

The Japanese have always loved fresh fish. But the waters close to Japan have not held many fish for decades. So to feed the Japanese population, fishing boats got bigger and went farther than ever. The farther the fishermen went, the longer it took to bring in the fish. If the return trip took more than a few days, the fish were not fresh.
The Japanese did not like the taste. To solve this problem, fishing companies installed freezers on their boats. They would catch the fish and freeze them at sea. Freezers allowed the boats to go farther and stay longer.

However, the Japanese could taste the difference between fresh and frozen and they did not like frozen fish. The frozen fish brought a lower price. So fishing companies installed fish tanks. They would catch the fish and stuff them in the tanks, fin to fin.

After a little thrashing around, the fish stopped moving. They were tired and dull, but alive. Unfortunately, the Japanese could still taste the difference. Because the fish did not move for days, they lost their fresh-fish taste. The Japanese preferred the lively taste of fresh fish, not sluggish fish. So how did Japanese fishing companies solve this problem?

How do they get fresh-tasting fish to Japan?

If you were consulting the fish industry, what would you recommend? As soon as you reach your goals, such as finding a wonderful mate, starting a successful company, paying off your debts or whatever, you might lose your passion. You don't need to work so hard so you relax.You experience the same problem as lottery winners who waste their money, wealthy heirs who never grow up and bored homemakers who get addicted to prescription drugs.

Like the Japanese fish problem, the best solution is simple. It was observed by L. Ron Hubbard in the early 1950's. "Man thrives, oddly enough, only in the presence of a challenging environment."- L. Ron Hubbard


The Benefits of a Challenge:

The more intelligent, persistent and competent you are, the more you enjoy a good problem. If your challenges are the correct size, and if you are steadily conquering those challenges, you are happy. You think of your challenges and get energized. You are excited to try new solutions. You have fun. You are alive!

How Japanese Fish Stay Fresh:
To keep the fish tasting fresh, the Japanese fishing companies still put the fish in the tanks. But now they add a small shark to each tank. The shark eats a few fish, but most of the fish arrive in a very lively state.The fish are challenged.

Recommendations:
Instead of avoiding challenges, jump into them. Beat the heck out of them. Enjoy the game. If your challenges are too large or too numerous, do not give up. Failing makes you tired. Instead, reorganize. Find more determination, more knowledge, more help. If you have met your goals, set some bigger goals. Once you meet your personal or family needs, move onto goals for your group, the society, even mankind. Don't create success and lie in it. You have resources, skills and abilities to make a difference."

So, put a shark in your tank and see how far you can really go!

yup. i need a shark!! exams next week. study ~ lagging! S.O.S!!

a pretty 'sHort' year

hmm.... so now its 2008. another year has passed. hope this year will be a good year. better than last year. =)

tgk2 balik my blog, there was only 12 entries for last year. that's about once in every month. hihi. so, that's somehow reflects how occupied i was with my course. haiyoo.. really. so many things to be done. n rite now, im kinda not that bz. but i guess that's true for only about another 36 hours from now. this sunday, ill be off to kerian, perak for a 'field study' for 3weeks. gonna have to perform a research for our public health module. hmmm.... then be back in penang n prepare the reports n stuff. at the same time, have to prepare for the upcoming our very 1st barring exams ~ ENT, Opthal, Public Health n Forensics n Legal Meds. hmmmm.... its gonna be a loooooonng 3 months..

After the exams, ill be a year FIVE med student! my goodness year 5! cepatnye masa berlalu...

but anyhow, hope everything will turn out fine, insyaAllah...

owh ya! btw, happy belated 'bday' to my blog! she's 2 year-old now!! ;p
