In Memory of Hospital Sultanah Aminah, Johor Bahru

Today is my last day working at this hospital. Overall feeling were uwaaaa.... sad....not much to say. hope that thing will be better of for me next time.

hurm

I am currently enjoying my last semester break. I manage to finish my study this time. Alhamdulillah praise to god. Life seem pretty abnormal for me this time of the year again. Things from my past kept coming back to hunt me. How my life has turn upside down for the past years that I had lived. Regrets? Yes, I do have regrets. In fact, I believed that normal people should have regrets feeling in their life. If I were to list down all the things that I had regrets in life. This list would explain - as in general I mean. Regrets not being able to achieved what I had planned before. Regrets not being able to become what I wanted to become. Envy by looking at my friends whom had become succesfull in life. I believed that people do plan in life, but sometimes, things that you had planned might not work as what you wanted them to be, and that is exactly what happen to me. I don't blame destiny for not bringing me to the level that i wanted to be. I don't blame faith for not taking me for whom I plan to be. Mix feeling gushing through me right now. I know, I am the kind of person whom rather keep problems to myself rather that letting anyone else know that I am facing one. But right now. Seem like I can't bother about it anymore. At least, I feel ease a bit by letting what has been playing in my mind during this semester break. Y being so serious when you can have bit of a fun huh? Haha. Anyway, my friends were all like planning to go places next week. Fact that it's the last allowances that they will get as a studennt. Har3x. I am still considering of joining them. Oh ya. I will start coming back to the office in 2nd July which is few days away. Don't know what to expect. Fun, great to be back, paperwork, hectic and time consuming project, office politics, officers with full or sarcasm, but i am sure one thing that I would like to have is a feeling of good to be back and see my friends at the office again. Haha. But it's the thing that one have to face in life, which is working when you become an adult eh. Either you like it or not, you still have to go through eh.

Last week of posting...

Hey there. It's time again to update my blog. It's a last week posting for me as a student. Mix feeling were spinning in my mind right now. People keep telling me, learn as much procedure as you can when you are still a student, do as much mistake that you can when you are a student. Interact with more patient as you can. Because after this, you might not be able to make any mistake at all. My personal opinion about this is kinda true though. Come to think about it, being a student somehow give you a privilege to make mistake. But make sure that you keep it to a minimal. So long as you are holding the tittle as a student, people can't blame you for the wrong doing that you had commit. I always practice this when I am still a student. Always ask a senior staff to observe you when you are doing a certain procedure. Being the most senior in college doesn't mean that you are qualified to execute all the task by yourself. By having a senior staff around, there are chances that he/she might correct you for your flaws. You know sometime student tend to not execute certain thing when attending clinical posting. Like those simple task. Happen to me sometime too. But I always make it a point to myself, as long as you are student, there are still chances for you to make mistake. Sometimes this simple things in clinical posting won't be able to be done correctly according to SOP. So by any means, this is the chances for you to make mistake and learn from it. My point is not to support you to making a mistake but a proverb does state once and i quote, we learn from mistake. So long as we have the urge to learn from the mistake that we have made, I think that we can make a full use of it thus far. Knowing that this is my last week for my clinical posting, I always reminded myself that this is the time for me to learn and not to waste any more time like what I had done before. Entering a workforce and playing with patient life is not something that you can take things easy. It's a big responsibility awaits for you and it's you bread and butter after all. Finally, I'm wishing all my classmate to have a great week in clinical posting. Being this is the last week, enjoy it while you still can because there will be no clinical posting after this. Salam

HSR Check!

Today mark one of the significant event in my life. Its actually the day that I officially had submitted my HSR. For those who wonder what HSR stand for, well, Its actually called Health System Research in long term. I had spend over a year to finish this project and finally it's has come to an end. Phew, what a relief. I went to see my supervisor this afternoon after work. And today is also my first day in Medical Posting. I had experience working in medical rotation before. My comments about medical is - yucks. It still the same yucks that I get a year ago. Medical is very interesting subject apart from Emergency Medicine but if you were to work and stay in Medical, my personal opinion is that, you won't even find any time for yourself. Let alone enjoying your break at peace. With all the workload that medical has to offer, I don't reckon that you find it at ease while enjoying your meal. Back to my HSR. I don't reckon to choose a topic which will make my mind blow. It's just a simple topic that I choose. It's about DM, and this include DM Type I and DM Type II. If I manage to convert the file to .pdf, I may consider of putting the file on this blog and that will only after I find out how to la kot since Im not really internet savvy. Hehe. Time does fly fast I guess, within 2 weeks time, I will be sitting for my final. Insyaallah. Hope everything goes well. But in the mean times, I had to face the worst department in my life. Hope that things goes as what I had planned. Guess that is all that I had in mind now. Will update this again some other time. As Salam.

phuewww.....at last my peads rotation....

Today is the day.. Yay...Finally, the day has come for my peads rotation to be ended. Overall feeling upon finishing this posting were like "Null" Haha... Maybe its because not much of the procedure that i can do in this rotation, but its the fact that I am not so keen in peads..Even during peads subject which were tough back in classes during my 1st and 2nd semester back in college. I am not so keen on focusing on this subject. Hehe. Fact that I love kids + baby (all the cute one esp.) but working with infant would be more tiring and more challenging then working with adult patient. The way we clerk the patient is different let alone when you want to do physical examination on them. Most of them would cry their heart out even by looking at your face. Phew... Next rotation is my medical rotation. Urgh. As usual, medical. Needles to say, its going to be a hectic day and week and fortnight all along. Will update if I am able to find the time in here. Anyway, its resting time after a hard day work in peads and I am not even post call still I got a rest day. Muahaha....

my peads rotation

well.this week is my final weeks in peads department. The last thing on my mind right now were to get my clerking assignment done before week end.

Like the previous post that I had mention, clerking in peads is like a whole new different thing from my other rotation before. Come to think about it, it does become a challenge esp to student whom is not really familiar with peads clerking system. I mean like, if you were to stay in Medical, or Surgical, you can simply obtain all the information required from the pt him/herself. But since that working in peads would simply means that you are dealing with newborn, infants, and children whom can barely speak, how are you going to obtain the information. Not to mention all the movement, and crying during the physical examination.

1 thing that i also find out during my peads posting were, taking blood sample be it routine check for FBC to obtaining sample for Blood C&S was hell of a job in peads.

Ouh ya, before I forgot, quick update about what happen when I am at work today. Today is my second day working in SCN and NICU / PICU. Some hospital call it Neonatal but there are some called it as peads ICU. It was an eye opener of course but I regret not being able to see how phototherapy is done. I know the fact that I wont be dealing with this cases when I enter my temp placement or even permanent placement, but at least if I got the chance to watch how the procedure is done, it would be beneficial since I can tell others or better still that others wont tell me the story as the other way around. Or maybe I could share my experience to my patients if happen that I have to work in Health Clinic.

Well, guess that was enough for today. Anyway, my roomate were not here since he had to do his district posting for about a month. Means I can have the room all by myself lah...Muahaha...

Will update this experience later. (As this would be among the last post that I will put up here before finishing my study)

final of 4 weeks

phew. it really been a long time since i last post on something in here.

Well, to be frank, i have been quite busy with school lately. Research to be done. Clinical posting to be attended to. Assessment, medical term to memories, subject to be revised. Phew. Life had been hectic for me for the past this 4 months.

My current posting is actually at Pediatrics Isolation Ward. Not to say that Peads would be my kind of forte but what the heck. I need to get this done in order for me to finish my study. Working in peads, not much that i can practice but hell that i need to open more notes more frequent now since i am really not familiar with all the clerking terms of peads. It's not that the clerking system is different from other rotation but in some way, they are still few aspect that i can't get my hands off as such immunization, full hx of family members. But most stressing part is that, blood taking in peads is hell of a job esp for student.

Well enough about my peads posting, my rotation for this semester started with Emergency Medicine. Cont. with health clinic (me like so much - muahaha) even though i get a placement at kinda deserted place or better to put as rural area, but its hell of experience for me. I got to know ppl from the community and being part of the community is something that i learn during this posting. Will update the stories of my community posting on the other post.

Apart from Emergency Medicine and Health clinic, I also had finish my Ophthalmology and Orthorhinolaringology posting for this semester. Not much of the stories that I had for both of the above posting as i don't get much hands on in the department, but sure thing that i obtain when i was there was the fun of learning. :-)
