Assalamualaikum =)
It has been quite a while since I last posted anything on my blog. I thought pre-clinical years had made me occupied. Then i came into my 1st year of clinical years where my time was mostly spent on books (? I wish -___-"), ward work, clinics, tagging-s, ward rounds, bedside teachings, seminars, tutorials, case presentations, case write-ups, study groups, on-call sessions, OT sessions, elective proposal, running here and there to get the proposal done and etc. Fun I must say but it occupies most of our time. Then again, I am not the best medical student one should look up to as I constantly procrastinate every task that I was given. I wish to get rid of that attitude soon. As Mr Fadel (p/s: surgeons are called Mr/Mrs/Ms and not Dr :) ) had said "Malaysians are slow in their work, especially those of Malays". I have yet to prove him wrong, insyaAllah.
Can't believe that it has actually been a year since I started entering Clinical years. Alhamdulillah, although I started off really bad (culture shock here and there, cry-baby moment lagi.ehe), with God's will, I was able to adapt with this roller-coaster life of mine. Though, through out the journey, I was constantly whining on how much I regret taking medicine. I guess everyone in the profession goes through this dreadful phase. Then again, I enjoy what I do. I love meeting people, talking to people =) I managed to pass 3 postings. Alhamdulillah, to my very surprise, I actually got an A for General medicine posting. I was one of the two people that had actually gotten an A for medicine. Gila tak percaya. Syukur dekat Allah sebab tak putus2 limpah rezeki dekat hamba dia yang teramatlah banyak dosa ni. SubahanaAllah. However, I ended up getting a B for my Rural posting and a big fat C for Urban. Ahaha. I had neglected both postings as I recall my seniors telling me "Ru-Ban semua orang pass. Logic je". Perhaps my logic isn't that logical afterall. Bak kata Mr Andrean "Yang jawab macam tu maknanya IQ dia rendah sikit la". ahaha My first C after 3 years in medicine =p
Final exam....hurm~..... Surgery was such a bummer. I actually like Surgery. I enjoyed being posted in Surgery (plus the fact that all of our surgeons are young chaps! best sangat cuci mata everyday. aha). InsyaAllah Peadiatrics and Obs&Gynae ok. I think I did ok for all papers except for Surgery that was so disappointing. My written exam was caput. Couldn't answer both papers especially the last one. My diagnoses were just off the road. Mati la patient aku macam ni. Surgery's long-case was the worst of all exams with Prof G as the examiner (ketar lutut tak habis sampai sekarang), and I was "lucky" enough to get a case that I have never seen or clerked in the ward before. Trauma sangatnya dapat exam macam ni kalau final year nanti =( my most hateful moment was when Prof G had asked me ,
Prof G: So what is your provisional diagnosis?
Me: I am sorry Dr. Honestly, I have no clue to what this patient has. I am really sorry.
I spent an hour thinking of the differential diagnosis. Differentials banyak la. Provisional takde langsung! =((( I should stop thinking of the past. There's nothing I can do to reverse it. Tawakal and redha. Even if I have to repeat my posting, I have to redha. Allah baru tarik sikit dah menggelupur satu badan. Tu baru sikit. Haih~
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I actually have A LOT to tell but it seems difficult to get it all organized since my neurons are firing all of it at once. hehe. Interestingly, since I entered Surgery, I have been quite a successful stalker. I've been stalking all of my surgeons especially those of my interest night and day. Even in class! ;p Perhaps because they are all young chaps, roughly in their 30s that makes it much more interesting. Well, Prof Suneet, Prof Hafil and Prof G aren't that young though.ehehe.
I think I should stop now as this post has been so "rojak-ed". I shall continue tomorrow with a better, more organized post. InsyaAllah. Plus, I might just doze off my Subuh if tak tidur now. tanakkk! =((
ehe. Assalam =)
