Oh I see...
New update!
I was now in orthopaedics posting, 2nd week. I was exposed to various new things, and learnt a lot during this 2 weeks. I can say that I am enjoying this posting :D The doctors were kind and willing to teach. I was a bit regret of just realizing the true meaning of this phrase: "patients are your books". I realised that I learnt a lot from them. I can remembered and learnt about the disease better.
There was one event that touches my heart today. I was in the wound dressing room. An old father came in to remove his suture on his cervical region. The staff nurse asked the son to wait outside the room. The son was very angry because he want to accompany his father. The son showed bad attitude towards the nurse. Ermm, personally, I think that the nurse was a bit harsh on the son too. In the end of the procedure, the father whisper to me, saying that he felt sorry for his son's attitude. I can see tears in the father's eyes. I felt sad, and my heart said: "Oh please don't cry, we never blame you or your son". I was thinking of my parents after this encounter. Misses them.

I want to tell something...
Lately, I started to enjoy seeing and clerking patients. This feeling started when I was in this posting.
At first, I really felt depressed when clerked them. All about negative feelings, sad life events, etc...I felt pity on them. They have mental-illness, or widely known as crazy. Stigmatization occurs. I also thought them as crazy and had some concept of stigmatization, but as I get to know them and venture into their life, my mind changed.
All the patients here had their own stories to tell, and I was touched by every single of these stories. I realized how weak human can be. I felt really touched when I saw the care and love that the family showered upon the patient, hoping that their loved ones can recover from the mental-illness. I also felt really sad when the family didn't care much of the patient. The family sees the patient as a burden.
I listen to different stories everyday when I clerked different patients each day. However, most of the patients share one similarity, that is they had gone through hard events in their life. Life is so hard that their mind gone hay-wire and even attempted to commit suicide.
In short, I started to love these psychiatric patients.
"One day at a time-this is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the past for it is gone; and do not be in troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful it will be worth remembering." ~Anonymous~

I'm now in Psychiatry posting. There are all sorts of interesting patient here. When I clerked depressed patient, I felt depressed. When I clerked a patient with schizophrenia, I thought I was going to "schizo" with him...
Meanwhile, this is a lazy posting, triggering my Type B personality. Haiz...orz..

Mr.Popper's Penguins
Today, I went to watch a nice, warming, funny, and cute movie at KLCC ^^
The cinema was full!
There are six penguins in this movie, all with their own unique characteristics..
YuZhen is this penguin! haha!
This Lovey is very lovely ^^
This is me oo!!
Felicia, don't deny already...this is you! LOL!!
Bite bite...naughty..:)
Pass out flatus anywhere anytime! haha..
I LOVE this movie.
A worth mentioning day
I learnt a lot here...I learnt on intubation devices. Dr. Esa explained sooo clearly and I soooo understand...haha. I also learnt on the technique to intubate a patient using endotracheal tube. Very interesting, although I can only practice it on a mannequin. I love the doctors in anaesthesia posting, they guide and teach us a lot. We won't be wandering around 自生自灭.
2nd: Urology ward
My patient for my case write up during this short posting is a kind and talkative uncle. He had Diabetes Mellitus, but he liked to eat sweet food. During my clerking process, he showed me his 豆沙包. not one, but six. Of course, I started blabbering on him, asking him to control his diet. I said I want to throw those buns away for him. I was joking only, but he then said he wanted to give them all to me. I took them as he kept insisting. Sometimes, patients can be very cute.
3rd: Operation theatre
My supervisor, Dr. Liu was a very dedicated teacher. To be truthful, I liked being spoon-fed...hehe. He taught sooo many things, and I learnt soooo many things. One of it is calculating the amount of fluid needed by the patient. Previously, I was so blurred regarding this. But after his teaching session, I understood. Oohh...I like him very much!
4th: Taman Tasik Permaisuri
I was being forced by YuZhen to jog with her. I was so lazy already because it had been a busy day for me. Immediately after the teaching, I went to her room and borrowed tshirt, trousers, socks and sport shoes. Haha, this was so funny for me, I had never been like this in my life. Then, we went to Taman Tasik Permaisuri. This was my 1st time going there, although I had been staying here for more than 1 year. It was just opposite to the hospital. My stamina was really poor. I only ran a bit, then I was dead exhausted already...haha. So, I was left behind and I walked leisurely around the pretty park. In the end, it turned out to be a memorable experience. ^^
Help me, hives attack!
Since yesterday night, I was having itchiness at the back of both of my thighs. I thought it was due to my trousers, so I changed to another trousers, and continue to sleep. However, at the middle of the night, I woke up because of intense itchiness of the thighs. Scratch scratch there, scratch scratch here, and finally got up to apply Mopiko. However, it still itched. Ignoring it, I tried to sleep, and succeeded.
The next day, the itchiness lessened. I went to hospital as usual. However when I went back and took my bath in the evening, the sense of intense itchiness came back! Damn it...scratch scratch here, scratch scratch there. A phone call to my mum made me realised that maybe it was due to allergy. My mum also had that kind of itchiness before. I took a look at the area of itchiness. OH MY GOD, so ugly. Hives! My skin became like this:
A small area at my medial thigh. My arms looked worse.
I went to a nearby clinic as soon as possible. I could not stand the itchiness anymore. I scared it would become worse and became like this:
My arm is in the process to become like this..T.T
I was given antihistamines by the physician. Hope the attack resolved...I still feel itchiness now after taking the medication and applying cream on it. Sigh...
