of hospital attachments and vacationing

Had our 2nd hospital attachment in klang HTAR last week.

We were all set this time. Oil blotters, sweets and candies were prepared in case we pengsan. We dreaded it in the beginning. The wards were hot and stuffy and very congested. And the number of good cases were very limited. Dengue fever cases were on the rage but we were not encouraged to clerk these cases.

i seriously think i need to take up Tamil or sth as my second dialect especially when it comes to communicating with Indian patients. Either they refused to speak in BM or they just cant.

i asked one of my Indian patient, " Sudah berapa lama kencing manis?"
she answered, " saya tak tau cakap melayu"...WTF

*5 mins of akward silence ensued*


First two days were dreadful cos the number of good cases were limited. We had a hard time meeting our target. But after that it was more relaxing. Cos all we had to do was to follow up the patients. It feels good when u see patients getting discharged. That also means we can close our case..Its a win win situation:P

I honestly think that the whole week of my attachment somehow compensated for all the long hours of lectures and theory approaches we had been doing for the past 5 semesters. We should have done this earlier. No point memorising a list of drugs and regurgitate them for exams only to forget everything right after every paper. It is ALWAYS effective if u can apply your knowledge. Well anyway, better be late than never right.hehe

It had been fun ogling at cute docs and pharmacists as well as dealing with few sarcastic nurses who seems to think we're in their way most of the time..BLAME doc's illegible handwritings larrr..esssh.. Miss chrissy had been brilliant in guiding us throughout the week. Shes very knowledgeable and helpful. Shes like our walking BNF..LOL..lunch with her on friday was super fun..listening to her stories when she was in scotland and all. We didnt feel like shes very much older than us. She is one lecturer we're gonna miss despite only knowing her for a short period of time.



caution
brace yourself for unprofessional shots ahead LOL

its finally over!!! for the time being..haha
