Saving life?nah...

It was another day to go,another exhausting day to undergo spangled wit ward round n rounds n roundss, tbl, and so on. But today was a different new kinda of experience, umm..not really new but kinda stil sparking me wit those fresh n new kinda of feeling from the incident tat happened today morning. I was clerking my as the usual routine goes. N while doing PE on tat patient there was someone asking for help from behind my bed. I was too amused wit the murmur tat was humming into my stets, tat i didn take notice of it. I was much flabbergasted to the crowd after i had my job done n wen turn myself to the bed behind me. It was an emergency collapse,a malay man in his fifties, which the docs are all busy resuscitating. I put on my gloves and straight to the crowd desperately for another try to perform CPR on the patient. HonLian n Kexin were tailing me. 3 of us had the opportunity together wit those HOs n consultant. N wit God grace, his heart pumped few minutes later n by then he was then stabilised. Broad smile painted on each of everyone of us.
But, no one knoes how God played around wit our faith n lives..It was then after my ward rounds tat patient’s BP plunged..almost 40/20 mmHG, n well..tat time I was jus wit the anesthetic and a nurse. Got no idea at all where’s the rest of the HOs. N so, I braved forward or if izzit the silliness of excitement which drives my adrenaline to push myself to save the patient. I did the CPR on my own, n the anesthetic was giving away few jabs of atropine n adrenaline to the patient. It was really not easy at all doing CPR. Uh, I did really give all my best to the patient. Sweat was profusely dripping on tat poor guy who’s already lying coldly there. Ou, there was once when I can heard a crack sound on his chest actually. Only then one of the HO turned out to take my place. N we took turn to resuscitate him. Half way, a nurse asked me to do an ECG for the next patient next to him. Eventually after tat, when I returned bac to tat bed, the doctor asked me to check tat guy before pronouncing dead. N yes, there’s nothing much can be done. My hope fell down crashing n it was really a bad miserable morning. Couldn’t believe after so long, bout 2 hours trying to get him alive, but stil he left. Couldn explain how I feel but tat was something new to me. My second time, after the first one fail as well in A&E department..haih…

Post Exam Pyrexia

Uh..Was one of the most mundane post exam period in my life..Jus ended 3 papers in a row n eventually was down sick. It started actually few days before exams but much to my anxiety towards the coming exam, i totally ignored bout my illness. It progresses worse especially towards the 3rd day when it was my exam day. The next day was supposingly be my Redang trip and everything had ady been arranged. Too bad...too bad.. i cannot make it. My body started to spotted with rash. Small rash, macules like rash..was bit freak off initially tot it might be dengue as 2 of my batchmates ady suspected dengue; one of them ady in the ward. Felt lucky though tat i'm not in. I came bac for the 2nd checkup to the GP in KL as the first one was really lousy. Tat doc straight ask me to the nearest hospital for dengue checkup as it seems to be a very typical dengue case, n off me n my mom to HUKM. The rash started to itch..n itch n itch. Uh..the itch's really unbearable. Really irritating n wish my skin to be rip off from my sinjew..uh..itchy itchy..even till now.
My platelet is at the lower border but still normal. I asked the doc for anti histamine jab. It did wore off a bit of my itch but later it comes back after short while.
Today i went back to HUKM again for my second platelet checkup and luckly my platelet did increase n i'm assured i'm on the safe side. No more fever but stil the itch is unbearable..
Really pissed off my mood to carry on my daily routine n even to write this blog..haih..Pissed me off to tat i couldn make it for my redang trip...
sigh...=(

Convo Day


Everyone..~this is it..Gold medal la..Congrats Hau Chun!


Bunch of sam pat kias..finally completed phase 1..Wohoo~




Yesterday was sort of something meaningful in my life. Something tat had crosses my mind before but seems to be quite unachievable to attend tat function when I was stil in Sem5. Yea, it was our IMU convocation addressing the end of the first phase after completing 2.5 years in Bukit Jalil for our medical sciences programme before pursuing our dreams in Seremban Hospital. Indeed, it was somehow a tiny lurid moments to be able to go on top of the stage to receive the certificate from the Chancellor. Earlier, during sem5 it was jus a mere hope tat I would be even walking along tat red aisle,,very mere.. Flashing back at those memories bac during my Bukit Jalil, I knew I was far too deviated of my focus to my studies. The grim tat I’ve undisputedly juggled during tat time was indeed coz of my own settings of priority towards my studies. It would be different if I’m more stern on my main priority. Anyway, luckily during the end of my sem5 I am able to pick up again, which hammered me through tat semester putting myself on tat occasion yesterday. Of course, I will not let those histories to be repeated again.
I was indeed much inspired by the speech of the student representative’s speech who had fulfilled his dreams tat day. It gives me more assurance of the pace tat I’m taking on this route, is gonna be a long long one. There’s stil more sweat n tears tat I need to shed before I would be able to stand up like him one day. Besides, it had emulated me to regain my self confidence much more. I was happie for everyone tat day. On top of tat,I was much more enamoured by the news tat my housemate is the Gold Medalist of our batch. This would had prodded me to even emulate more on my hope to achieve more.
Congrats Hau Chun!!!Morever, our batch M204 tat created another history in IMU of the highest Dean list, of 74 in total where all this while its jus a mere 10-15 in numbers of the dean list students in other batches. I was really glad to be in this batch…~We are jus too good~
Albeit, the journey is stil long n the progress tat needed to developed is still a surmountable high, I would hope tat I’ll be blessed wit more determination n perseverance. Like wat I heard tat day during the speech, quoted by the father of medicine, Hippocrates “Cure sometimes,Treat often,Comfort always…” had blossomed my interest in medicine for more…

Mother's Day.

"Of all the people in this world there's only 2 person tat wil not ever harm u...One is ur dad and one is me". I was 18 when she first started to say this to me. Maybe the brashing age n my mindset tat time had drowned away my rationality. I never listen to those philosophies..Never. On top of tat, i was always the opposition under the same roof in tat house. Though i knoe something which is not beneficial to me, but stil i'll do it jus for the sake of satisfying myself looking at them so 'sakit hati' especially her..rebellious huh?..Looking back now as age had caught up in me, I was undisputely naive and immature. I owed her for life..
She was there the 1st second when she brought me into life wit all her might bearing the world's toughest pain. Ady there i owed her lots, stil i was always hating her whenever she caned me n hit me during my younger days. The pain tat she beared was really no match for those cutaneous pain tat i had from her, not to mention her inner pain everytime she caned me n kicked me only for my own good sake.
Of all gal in this world, she is the one tat understood me the most. Yes, this is very true..i dunno why n how come she had such a capability..i surrendered n humbled to her prowess to do so..She understood my demands despite most of the time i denied her acumen. She raised me up well...very well indeed , despite i mourned always bout her child upbringing ways which is being too dictated. How wrong i was, always thinking tat the grass is always greener than the other side. I was here being who am I so far, partly becoz of her.
I knoe all this while, i had hurted her most compared to my other 2 brothers, but i shall not apologize to her, for i've been forgiven by her everytime i hurted her unaware. I knoe i will never be able to fill bac the love potion tat she had poured to me all this while. N i realised too tat she had never ask anything in return from me..All she wans is to raise me up achieving happiness and reaching for greater heights for my own good sake.
I'll always remain the same and wil thrive for the best.
For today, being the World's Mothers Day, i would like to wish u Happie Mother's Day and Thanx for everything. Things will never be the same without u...

Back..

Wow..My blog has been halted for quite sometime. Been feeling myself so stuffed n packed though i had finshed my posting a week earlier. Maybe the laziness had ady come to play recently. hehe.. Anyway, things are fine and busy as usual. Rite now, its ady the 8th week i'm in Seremban, really fast. Jus a glimpse and its ady 2 months i'm here in Seremban. Been adapting myself well here in this small community and not forgetting to mention the bulky workload here. Well, this is my week for my new posting -Surgery. As they say, surgery is the posting on its own world. A world with its own arrogance and flamboyant composure. One would jus has to judge the surgeons wit the 'MR' address in front of their name to knoe wat i'm really talking about.
Tat first day itself, on monday i was so lucky to be able to observe a surgery done in the OT during my on call which lasted for nrealy 3 hours. It was an appendictomy with complications which normally took bout half an hour to finish the job. It was a perforated one which causes multiple inflammation around the right lower tummy. There's 2 surgeons who's in charge n for tat 3 hours they stood there busy performing their virtuoso play. They are jus so cool man...! The assisting nurses and the anesthetist were changing wit their own counterparts along tat 3 hours but its the surgeons tat were standing for 3 hours with full attention nad coolness..
I od really admire them.. It lasted till around 12 mid and it was a successful one.
I was much inspired by this and it really buried me wit a new hope of becoming one of them one day..

Glorious Nite


Inside the Philharmonic Hall


It was an unforgettable moment to hav the opportunity to delve the contemplation of one of the prodigous concertos masterpiece in the Malaysia Philharmonic Hall last nite. Thanx so much to my cousin brother who are kind enuf to expose me into this wholenew monumental experience. It was a legacy entitled Beethoven Violin Concerto in D, a masterpiece transcended down by the title itself, Ludwig Van Beethoven. Its unprecedented as one of the greatest concertos of all time,n many would hav quoted "the best concerto ever written". This glorious orchestra is being led by a German-borned violinist, Vivian Hagner, professionally conducted by the French stage master, Mathias Barmet..
It was indeed an eye opener for me. From the accustomed clothing before entrance itself, i think its much a classy type of show la. Only ones with formal wear like jacket, or batik,, tuxedos, n etc are allowed to be seated in the hall. As for women, only gown are allowed to be seated. As a first timer, there's really few rules which my cousin told me, much to my amusement.. First, only clap when others clap, stand n clap when others do this too. How true it is..There's few moments along the play which i tot was the end n nearly clapped, but the play til proceed wit pindrop silence. I really mean it when it comes to the silence..It was a total pindrop silence along the play. Even a sniff or cough can be easily noticed along the play. Secondly,once in the hall, n the show begins, any tolerance of shitting n peeing shall be appreciated to the max. Coz those who stood up n walk away wil be considered rude.
I njoyed the whole play. The whole play combined by the prowess of the leading violinist, acumen of the conductor and the brash grandiose skills by the rest of the supporting orchestra players had make this play a Great one..Only at times, newbie like me finds difficulty in judging the end of the play..

Fine tuning before the play starts..


Me, my bro n cousin bro in the Hall


The last salute by fellow Monsieurs


Sumptous supper later on at Imbi Hawker Street..
