cuti satu minggu

Baiklah. Cuti selepas posting ortopedik saya berbaki lebih kurang 4 hari lagi. Esok saya bercadang untuk melawat satu keluarga. Keluarga siapa? ah. terlalu berkontroversi pada saat ini. Tak penting.

Beberapa hari lepas saya ke Hospital Jerantut, menghantar surat permohonan untuk membuat elective posting disana. Kemudian ke Pejabat Kesihatan Daerah untuk permohonan ke Klinik Desa Sungai Retang. Ketika ini semua sungguh membantu, kecuali saya dinasihatkan memilih klinik kesihatan Jerantut, bukan klinik desa. Kerana? tidak banyak kes di klinik desa and 'you won't learn much'.

ok. Saya tersenyum sebentar. ini bukan kecuali, ini sememangnya untuk membantu saya. cuma masalahnya saya tak boleh drive dan hati yang berlagu cuti. (anum! bilekah boleh?! -- ok ok, akan cuba tahun ini.. insyaAllah.. padahal tangguh lagi.. hahah).

Tapi, sememangnya insyaAllah itu mungkin lebih baik. Lebih baik melihat pesakit lebih seratus orang sehari, berbanding hanya mungkin 5-10 di Klinik Sungai Retang (tersenyum pahit). Lagipun saya masih mentah, bukan apa untuk menggunakan masa elective untuk sesi yang lebih mapan. (now i sound weird). Berusaha diri sendiri! (apakah)


Bapa saya mengingatkan saya, saya dah terlalu bercuti di GP posting, dengan GP yang sungguh baik menugaskan saya untuk datang hanya sekali seminggu. (hahaha.. GP ku sangat cool, dan dia tidak digula-gulakan ok.) Lebih baik kualiti dari kuantiti. Saya bersetuju dengan hati terbuka (dan gembira). Doktor sangat baik, mungkin kerana tidak banyak pesakit yang datang di bandar kecil ini, saya diberikan tutorial percuma dan buku lamanya. (It is an honour)

Pulang ini, saya bakal menempuh posting medicine 2, lebih kepada posting-posting minor. Mata, hidung, tekak, telinga, hormon, dan yang seangkatan dengannya. Saya harap keadaan akan membantu saya lebih bersemangat, kuasa tahap super saiya untuk membaca kembali ilmu-ilmu yang berpeleseran di buku.

orthopaedic posting ( an average malaysian student perspective)

according to me: this is the first posting ever -- never once i felt bored with the things i'm learning. don't think it means that i'm sure i'm gonna score or something like that- it's of another issue. but frankly, i think most orthopaedicians are cool. they played with good anatomy, some biomechanic/biophysic, minimal biochemistry, and great metals and blades. you don't play metals in other posting that much.
sure, the exposure as a medical student is limited. ( not to mention there are tonnes of reading needed - especially when you already forgot those inspiring diagram in your anatomy notes 3 years back) - bad anatomy = screwed. especially in the OT. (where else should a bone be screw ed other than OT). some things are really helpful in this posting:

1) Netter's Concise Textbook of Orthopaedic Anatomy - now in 2nd edition --> can get it at Kamal Bookstore near HKL at around RM 109 something. or it depends on your luck.

2) Appley's --> well known textbook
3) Mc Rae 's --> YOU NEED IT for physical examination. other alternative is Reider's. i flipped though Reider's at the bookstore, and i like it more than mc rae. the presentation and paragraphs are nice. with real-people diagram. BUT, it will cost you around RM 270. i didn't buy it.

ok. and a good night sleep can help you wake up early and make a good fresh start tomorrow and catch up for the coming ortho exam.... (~,~)...

another first entry.

assalamualaikum and good day.

i started blogging since 2003, and i write for myself.
though it's the 4th time i'm writing the first entry for my personal blog,
i still think that the first entry will be the hardest one.

okay. i'm not a good writer, and am not good in publicizing my life.
(nothing that interesting though)
but these last two days, i kept thinking;
why shouldn't i just keep 'an accessible memoirs'
of what's ok to share.. although i know that i'm not good in updating anything.

haha. lucky you belog. i've just spent my 30 minutes with you during my bedtime.
