New Department

Finally... I'm officially out of Medical. A department that I used to love during medical school, yet also a department that put me in tough times before getting the title of DR. I had a long break..8 days of leave that I've never taken before (showed how dedicated I was, hahah), with clinic duty and oncalls somewhere in the middle of the break.Clinic duty was fine, I love going to MFUC, able to learn a lot. My second last call was in Haemato...initially was good, then A3 started calling, a 14 year old girl with leukaemia was having body aches and pains, only relieved temporarily by analgesia. So the nurse kept calling me every 4 hours. Then A2 called me...an old Indian lady suddenly found not responding. She was alive when I arrived, but poor GCS. I had to call the MO oncall (the problematic one).She, being arrogant, wanted to handle it herself and asked me to just stay with the patient. She never done Haemato before, so of course she wouldn't be familiar with the systems there. When she consulted the "step sister" at 5 am, I could hear her nervousness...I passed over and left the ward at 7 am..luckily I was on leave, so I did not have to go back to my own ward to review patient. I heard the patient eventually passed away from acute stroke.My very last call was in Dengue ward...a good call...one unstable patient was nicely transferred to C5...thanks Dr K for being considerate.

INSTANT FLY TO KL

On Wednesday morning, we heard bad news about my YB...he was involved in a hit and run accident the day before while riding home from work. Allah The Almighty, my brother was quite okay, two guys helped him controlled the traffic when YB landed on the ground, some Indian man stopped his car to give the "criminal"'s plate number...then a young man found to be reporting the incident already when YB arrived at the police station, with the same plate number, plus a photo of the car, WML XXXX.YB was then admitted to Sime Darby Medical Centre after further check up revealed some minor fracture of the vertebrae.Me, ayah and mak flew to KL that afternoon with Air Asia, and came back to Penang late that night with MAS. We couldn't stay longer as nobody is taking care of Tok at home.Now YB is still on medical leave and doing physiotherapy. May Allah heal him and protect him from any unwanted events...

BURGER KING - INDAH KHABAR DARI RUPA

First of all, let's put aside about either Burger King is Isreali's product or not.
My Ayah has been mentioning about it for some time as a new outlet has just been operated at Precinct 10, about 10 minutes from home. Ayah said, the burger could cost RM20. That night, we had to stay in KLIA while waiting for our flight at 11.45pm. The only food supply available was either Burger King or Dunkin Donuts.So we chose Burger King as we were so hungry.I was totally disappointed with the quality of burger they served. Size - too small to be called a king. ingredients - very very normal, not extraordinary at all. Price - super expensive and not worth it.Quality - 1/5 star. So that will be the last time I ever eat Burger King and I would suggest to everyone not to waste any cent on this kind of fast food. Sorry Burger King, you are just disappointing.

NEW DEPARTMENT

Started in the new department on Friday...it's call the carpenters and mechanics department. Tagged for full 14 days without off. Clinics are super busy...patients are like water flowing non stop. The nurse keep putting cards on your table even though you're still seeing patients..Procedures are everyday --- Ray's amputation..wound debridement and desloughing...bla bla bla..fractures here and there..it's still very new to comment..but for sure it is not my taste.

LIMPING

I've been limping for a week!!My right foot is killing me. Out of no where, suddenly my right foot started to ache, worse upon walking, with mild swelling noted over dorsum of foot (just about the same day when Lee Chong Wei got injured). I have no history of trauma whatsoever..I don't think its a fracture but I haven't had any x-ray yet.It was so painful last Monday and Tuesday when I had to walk here and there.Even today I've decided to go nowhere and just rest my feet.

I'll pen down now...last two weeks I couldn't attend the meeting as I was tagging,...hopefully this week I can be there and meet them and nurture my soul...
