GH experience

Only 1 week left in Mater, and then 1 week study leave. Mesti ramai patients kena 'harass' dgn students next week..sumer desperate nak practise masing2 punya examination skills. Ingat lg my own experience masa hospitalised in GH. Masa tu form 3, thot it was sumthin to do with the vigorous netball practise. Damn my leg hurt so bad that time. Everything happened quite fast. My left leg swollen up and got really red that I scared it might burst. Couldnt walk at all. Was a bit paranoid initially, thot I could never walk again. Heh. Besides, I dont remember any doctor giving me any kind of reassurance. They left me with my own theories and fear. Huhu. So dont do that ok my dear doctor-to-be friends?

Mula2 kena scan kat HUKM and they couldnt reach a definitive diagnosis. (Now I know what the scan was..it was Doppler's ultrasound) They thot it was some clot ( DVT lah ) but I was 15, like too young to get a DVT (that's what i remember from their conversation). So they referred me to GH. Dipendekkan cerita, I got intramuscular cellulitis. Was put on a course of iv and oral antibiotics. Almost everyday a bunch of students datang tengok kaki ku. Sometimes dengan dr, sometimes tak. Mula2 tu oklah, I could handle it, altho segan giler. Yela..diselak2 nye selimut ku! Huhu! Tak ingat lah about them asking permission. Maybe they did. But honestly I didnt know that I could say no. So what i did to avoid them students? Buat2 tidur...hehe..Spent 1 good week in GH..rasala guna wheelchair and crutches..patient RIP kat katil sebelah..malam2 yang hening kat ward...what an experience!

And it isn't the experience that direct me to this medical route I'm on now...

Lama sungguh tak update. Raya ramblings pun tak sempat nak tulis. Well, I always have the exam to blame. And sudoku too. I dont do sudoku in the newspapers anymore, partly bcoz i dont have access to one. I, now, do sudoku online. It's cool coz you can compare your performance with others. I am now above average in solving the medium sudokus. Talking about exam pulak, it is 4 weeks away. I could feel the tension and stress from every corner of the hospital, and of BV too. From within myself, yes too. But the motivation to study..it's not parallel..sigh...

Raya tahun ni...tak semeriah tahun2 lepas. Perasaan tu 'kureng' sikit. Why eh? Baju raya ada (my housemates commented that my colour scheme never changed), makanan raya ada, kuih raya from mama sampai malam raya (this was a huge YEY for me!), open house invitation banyak. What was the missing element? I missed people in Msia every raya. Well, I always miss the people in Msia alright. No difference about that in this raya. But there were no 'cry me a river' moments this time. So what was it? Boredom?

I was doing ENT that 1st raya week. Skipped most part of the rotation.Felt guilty for a while, but ENT will not be in this coming xm, so..guilt erased! ;)

Last week did ophthalmology. Loved it! Actually, as a result of that rotation, I put ophthalmology in the specialty list together with GI medicine. Am doing colorectal surgery right now, for the next 3 weeks. I like it so far, becoz i so suka the consultants. hehe. Tomorrow am going into theatre. Probably will see some laparoscopy or colectomy. Hope i wont get dizzy again like that day. But there was a reason, i didnt sahur...

ok..hafta study perioperative management...daa...
