Another depressing day.
Paeds always makes me no mood to proceed further.
Well, another short case for me during ward round with Dr. Chong today.
A case of 7 month old Malay boy presented with macrocephaly lying on the bed who was playing with rattle.
I was asked to give a general inspection and proceed further to come out with diagnosis.
Obviously, the baby has cerebral palsy and I should examine neurological examination and perform developmental assessment on him.
However, I was kept on stunted and hesitating during the examination.
Of course this further affected my performance in Q&A session.
Still remember last time during my Phase IIIA EOP Paeds short case in UMMC.
I was given a case to examine a cerebral palsy baby with VP shunt.
Prof Hany and Dr Gan CS were my examiners that time.
That was a bad dream for me and I think I still haven go through it.
Haiz, CP patient... I have CP-phobia!!! T.T

May I know what's cerebral palsy?
Good luck to u... Cheer up! ^^
CP is a non progressive lesion in developing brain that causes disorder in movement and posture.In mandarin we call it as '脑性瘫痪'
So, will the child suffering from abnormal development? Will his growth stunted?
Anyway, thanks for telling me. :)
Those u have mentioned are just part of it.
They develope more complications in their late life.
*Thinking you might study in med sch as well*
why do u having that thought?
I just feel that if involve brain then may be will affect the growth. Because brain is just like a CPU for our body, controller of everything in the body, as taught by science teacher during sec school.
