Now . Future

Finished!!! ^_^

Just finished my EOP exam and CPC writing exam!!!
Suddenly feel so empty.
Don't know why having such feelings?
Should be happy instead of emptiness.

For the past one month in Banting,
I didn't go cinema.

I didn't go singing K.

I didn't play games. Except MH-ing. (hehe. This is the only game i hook into..^.^)

Relaxing life in Banting Hospital~
Back to reality once i stepped on the ground at the front gate of 6th college.
The feelings of unsecure.

The feelings of scary.

The feelings of responsibility.

The feelings of competitive.

All gush into my heart...Compressed. Heavy.

Ya,no doubt the turning point in my life is just 4 months away from now.
I'm bothered with too many worries... LOTS!!!

Paeds and Surgery.
Two main postings before FINAL.
I didn't really enjoy much for the last month. T.T

I will get myself prepared for Paeds.

Ready???
YES!!! I'am.

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....

A week abstaining from blogging. =.=

Some highlights in Banting.

1^st day

1 hour trip to Banting had been lengthened to 1 and a half hour due to inevitable traffic jam in Subang.

Thought can escape from it if we went at night but seem it had been arranged for us since early. =.=

I’m damn LUCKY this time. Why?? I became speechless when I saw patchy of ants were attracted to my breads. As I know, just one room in hostel is flooded with ants. First prize will be mine if I buy TOTO tonight. T_T

And each of us got our single room here.

Water cooler is unavailable and not even is hospital. What to do? Have to go and buy from a shopping complex which is not far from here. It’s troublesome staying here!!!

Problems never end there. Feel so irritated when couldn’t sound the horn. This is the most highlighted problem because it does affect my routine daily activities. Haiz. MH addictor has to pay for this!! On the other hand, this makes me more concentrate in study. I should think of the positive way instead of the bad 1.

Went Big Longkang to have lunch and Pasar Malam. Called it a day. Jaw dropped when the price of mix rice plus drinks was just RM3.60. Even in my hometown also couldn’t get such cheap price. ^_^

2^nd day

Went to school health programme in SK JUGRA. PKD Kuala Langat organized an anti-smoking campaign and the targeted population was Standard 6 male students.

Titled ‘Kempen Cara Hidup Sihat Tanpa Merokok’. I was the facilitator during group activities. Felt proud to be announced that my group won the 1^st prize. Huhuhu. It was in expectation . ^_^

The motto of the school is ‘We are Champion’. It made me thinking of MHS’s motto which even sounds cockier à WE ARE THE BEST! It sounds greater. Keke.

Joined KK Kanchong Darat’s post-natal visit in the afternoon. Driving in those kampong roads was kinda fun. Haha.

The mother whom we visited really needs to be educated properly.

She doesn’t breast feed her baby. Furthermore, both the mother and baby are passive smokers because her husband’s bad habit. They keep pigeons at home which do expose the baby to risk of getting cryptococcosis and meningitis. Why? The pigeons’ dropping itself is the infective agent…

Haiz…outskirts’ people really need a prompt and proper health education to reduce their morbidity and mortality rate.

3^rd day

Went for Environmental Health programme in the morning and child health clinic in KK Telok Datok.

This was not the first time I attached to KK but it was a new experience for me to realize the slowest speed of the staff nurses could reach in performing their job. So inefficient and wasting time of the mothers.

The student nurses were allowed to do their examination without supervision although this was their first time been there. Sigh~

Today we had BKT as lunch. Wow, it was not bad to try new BKT with yam. And the price was cheap as expected. Haha. I will go there to have 2^nd try before I leave Banting. Cannot believe it can be such nice taste with yam!! ^^

Dinner was the famous crab mihun in Jenjarum! Wanted to try more seafood there but our thin wallets had alarmed us not to order too much . T_T

I hate that I’m allergic to prawn. If not, sure I will fall in love with Jenjarum. Haiz~~

中秋，月圆的时候，象征着一个家庭的圆满、团圆。

古人取这个意思, 让我们警醒，当有亲人在身边的时候，要好好珍惜，珍惜这浓浓的亲情，彼此互相关怀、照顾，不要等到有一天，缺了一角时，才来后悔。

月，始终缺的多，圆的少，更当珍惜，这月圆、人圆的日子！

人长大了，思想也变得复杂了，没有了儿时的单纯。纯真的孩子心里只有那丰盛的菜肴、香甜可口的月饼以及那月里嫦娥动人的故事。

现在，家人团聚的时光带来的快乐才是那中秋最具有的意义。

童年的时光很美好，无忧无虑，但一去不回；能有的记忆不会遗忘，但却无法再重温。

人总是在反复回忆中去体会得与失，然后再选择需要与放弃。

在外读书这么多年，体会了人情冷暖，但最怀念的还是自己的家乡那轮圆圆的月。

2 days to go...
Banting!!! Here i come...
Really not in the mood of going to Banting.
Although i will come back UM every weekend, but that's not a good one to spend 5 days in a week there.
Heard from the other friends:
-- Have to drive out hunting for lunch and dinner daily
-- Room overloaded with hungry ants. (Well-wrapped food also can't be saved because it is 'permeable' to those stupid ants!!)
-- The worst condition is NO internet!!! How am i going to bear with it?? (Sure many of my MH-ers friends will console me sincerely because of this tragedy..T_T)

Haiz..actually I still can have fun there though lots of con when occupying in Banting.
The only contributing factor to the fullest fun is my dear groupmates.
Will they go Jugra hill, nearest beach and other nice places with me when final exam is only 5 months from now?
Will we have BBQ at the beach there??
Now the limiting factor is MBBS!!! None of us can get rid of it!!
But Banting's posting will become damn boring without those activities..(according to previous groups' opinion)

I want a meaningful Banting posting!!! May I?? My dear groupmates???
Study hard and dun forget to relax ourselves to the optimum!! ^^
