L to R: Jason, Van, Shu chien and chun tsu. Group 1 chinese in Pantai Morib.

A 8 years old orang asli boy named Zul, was admitted yesterday to Banting hospital.
He had syncopal attack prior to admission. His growth was far smaller than the age of 8.

From examination, he looked pallor and had smooth tongue. (because of iron deficiency)
Heart murmur was noticed and it showed sign of heart failure.
His abdomen was bloated. Liver and spleen were swollen as well.
Striking feature was that he was severely malnourished.
Blood test result showed haemoglobin level was 1.1g/dL.(it's superb severe anaemia!!!!)
Hence, blood transfusion was given at stat.

On further questioning, he was born in a family of 5 siblings and he was the youngest.
Both parents did not receive education in school. The mother gave birth to a total of 10 children but 3 of them had passed away in early life due to failure to thrive and the other 2 were miscarriages.

I stressed to the mother why not bring the child to hosp before the condition became worsening?
Her answer was,
' Anak saya sebelum ni pun size ini juga. Tak ade masalah pun dan sekarang dah besar. Saya bawa dia kerane dia pengsan...'

Asking Zul whether staying in ward is nice or not.
He answered,
'Sini lagi baik.'

I asked him further under the drive of curiosity.
He said,' Hosp ade katil.'

My heart was so pain when seeing and talking to this poor child.
Why the parents were so ignorant? No family planning at all?
Those children were suffering because of them!!! They actually can lead a normal child's life.
Orang asli were lacking of knowledge in taking good care of their children.

Proper education to the Orang asli, please??!!!
Where is our Government? Do your job NOW!!!!

Feeling so reluctant to go back Banting later. T.T
A place where no entertainment and ur room is like a sauna in the afternoon.
Unless u go A&E or labour ward which are equipped with low-graded air-cond. XD

2 and a half months to go for Final MBBS. Now should be all the final year medical students' critical period.
Looked tension, anxious, uneasy and restlessness. Haha.
But still there are some who really enjoy their life before graduating. This is called LIFE..^.^

However, final exam does perturb me.
Anxiety disorder + circardian rhythm is all in ruins.
Problem is nothing can be done in such a short time because it depends on daily constant effort that u put in.

What to do? *Crossing fingers*
明天会更好。

But it was not in Banting for sure.
We went to Laundry Bar in The Curve!!! Haizi, C.Tsu, Van, S.Chien and me travelled to PJ to have drinks.

Surprisingly, Dr.Chan(Maxillofacial surgeon and dentist) did come to join us after being invited.

I ordered Mandarin Mojito (Orange Vodka +mint leaves +sweet and sour). And that didn’t stop me from having another cup of red wine. Hehe.
I was NOT DRUNK and just felt a bit dizzy after having double ‘dosage’ of it. Thanks to Chan for treating us the drinks and we really had a good time there. ^^
Next we went to Hartamas to have supper. Initially, we just wanted to have some food after drinking the liqueur. And things are always out of prediction. Every 1 of us had our first time of Shisha-ing. Being tempted by Haizi, I had my once in a life time…Wow, couldn’t believe that the fruity smell smoke being exhaled from all my body’s orifices. hahaha (It’s not a good thing to learn so this will be my first and the last. XD)

*Shisha: An oriental tobacco pipe with a long flexible tube which draws the smoke through water in a bowl.

Heading to Banting at midnight. Not forget to say thank you to our driver, Haizi.

A wife visited her husband in hospital because of getting dengue fever. She complained of having dizziness during the visit hours.
So, the Dr checked her and found out that her blood pressure was at 90/60 mmHg.
After that, she was straight being admitted and extensive intravenous fluid was given.
In late stage, she was sent to ICU.
Her husband was in ward and in stabilised condition, went to see her in ICU.
Finally, she couldn't be saved because of the life threatening Dengue Haemorrhagic Shock.(DHS)
She was under diagnosed to have dengue fever and she was in the most critical phase of Dengue fever--> 'Defeversence' phase where plasma leakage can occur and it causes fatal.

Maybe this is an usual event occurs is hosp but as a medical student, I gain a lesson that we must know what are we learning daily and apply it on real case wisely.

The woman's life can be saved and DHS is a preventable disease.
We should try to save them. At least prevent them from getting worse.
Learning medicine is to save the people out there and not just getting the knowledge from the books per se.

So,change ur attitude from now on if you're not.

Surprise seeing I'm blogging here?? haha.
Now i should be suffering under days without internet in Banting rite?
But things always go well with the 'help' of my sis.
I persuaded her to lend me broadband!!! ^_^ Thanks ya.
The coverage here is quite slow and getting disconnected easily. Sigh~
Anyway, better than none.
With it, i think at least won't be so boring here with just studying and hunting for daily meals.
Still searching for famous garlic 'you zha gui'in Jenjarum and begger chicken near Jugra hill.
U ask for it? and u got it!!! ha
Seems cruel to put ants poisons in my room which is fully occupied with ants.
It takes 2 to 3 days to work. Let's see the result then...
Sorry for the NO MERCY....
