Humans

Assalamualaikum warahmatullah.  :D

I was supposed to finish my memorization and revision. Yet, I dunno what am doing in front of this laptop. Feeling like jotting something here. ;) Based on analysis since fortnight ago, after starting the class. heh, it has been 2 weeks already and I still cant call my mom. huwaaa! :(( Internet is sooo tak-reti-nak-explain-cam-mana. It was okay for googling around BUT  not for call! :(

Actually I was doing analysis on most of the patients I have met since this medical round. I lost the count, but I think its more than 10 already. Plus minus the same patient for different doctors.

Meeting human, heh thats the precious thing in life. You dont just learn by books. I still remember Kak Jaa-graduated from Melbourne Uni gave a talk in INTEC last summer break for our-already-arrived-juniors here. :D She said, yes Malaysian students are somehow having low self-esteem. And thats include me. Some of the patient might not even allow you to touch them, and then we ended up by 'its okay. I will just read the books at home and insyaAllah will pass the exam'. Thats typical, she said. And that is a BIG MISTAKE.  Since, we're not going to deal with books, but humans. We need practice in order to have good communication skills. And in order to have confidence in giving diagnosis and so on. 

I know this thing not just happening here. It happens worldwide, except for medical students in Malaysia. I think so, from what I've heard from my besties. She's in USM. Not all of us are allowed to touch the patients. And of course not all of us are allowed by the residence to do self-medical-study in the wards. Pity us heh? :( Pity me also.

Even here, the patients themselves might shout at you

 'no! I dont want you to examine me! You're not a doctor'

ouch! :|

'how much you're going to pay me if I allow you to examine me?'

'but we're students. we dont have much money.'

'I dont care. I'm asking you how much you are going to pay me.'

another debush! :(

but the doctor said  'for every heart lesion, you have to auscultate 100 normals. kidnap the people in the street and auscultate them.'

ahahah. :D  anybody wants to donate their body for me, to auscultate and so on to them? :P

haih... susah jugak, semua orang segan nak bagi pinjam badan. cam mana nak jadi doktor yang tak segan ni.... :(

heh, thats why I think we must focus well and do the examination well when the doctors are in front of us. And also do the all kinds of examination when the patients are really cooperative. Its bad if you miss that chance.

but still, not everybody have the courage and confidence level like that. :(

Thats me also. haih... easier said than done.

I am still adjusting my personal schedule. Too many tasks I have but I still dont know where is my '24 hours per day' gone by the end of the day. haih... bad huh? b-( 

And kanak-kanak kasr el-ainy, in case you dropped by here. I haven't buy my thermometer and tongue depressors and gloves yet. Jom la beli sekali. I dunno nak beli kat mana and jenama apa ni. :( 

Doctors said we're going to use them in exams. And the exams is more or less  in next 2 weeks kan? ;)

Aci tak kalau beli electronic thermometer? :P

Sekali doktor sound, kome ni nak belajar ke tak? LOL. :D

May Allah easen everything.
