I don't know how much longer can I keep my sanity..
Things are getting waaaaaayy too difficult at the start of forth year and I cant imagine how worse it's gonna be in the later stage..

I just started my first week of clinical attachment in CUH for ophthalmology and I already feel like my head is gonna explode, sooooo many things to read/learn/know/understand/memorize in only 5 days with an exam on the last day. I used to skip lectures/rotations since 1st year up to 3rd year (I'd say I skipped about 60% of all lect/rotations), but this year I HAVE TO give 100% attendance. That's gonna be really hard for me.

I'm not the nerdy type who study almost all the time, I'm a very lazy student, I've always been since I was small. The fact is, I never even dream of being a doctor before, I refused to do medicine after SPM and argued with my parents, but I couldn't say no, they want me to do this. Life in MRSM was already a nightmare to me coz that was the first time I had to really study hard to compete with other students, I thought that was it, I never want to live in that kinda life anymore, but here I am, in med school.. *sigh*

I don't know if I can do this, sometimes I wish I can just give up life as a medical student and live a normal life.. It has been 5 years of struggle, I'm totally worn out, this is so tiring.. I don't wanna have sleepless nights anymore..I don't want to depend on medication anymore to help me sleep normally..

I just want to have a life..

How to be someone's 'bestfriend'

Done with Pharmacology and Pathology, still got two more written papers and 1 OSCE waiting, but I insist to feel like the exam is over. Definitely can't wait to go back to Malaysia this summer, I don't even know why.
...Ok I do know why, but saja nak buat2 tatau supaya tanak excited sgt (padahal dah rasa adrenaline surge ni), and for that reason, I'm planning to change my flight ticket to an earlier date. Some people are gonna hate me, I know, but I also know they will keep falling in love with me again (ceh tak leh blah ;p), so yeah, I've made up my mind, nak tukar tiket, nak nak!

and oh,
some people asked me,
how I boleh jadi bestfriends dgn orang2 dari pihak atasan, seperti encekkamis dan profdavidkerins (dean of med school).

Here's how;
1) suruh ayah anda telefon pihak Mara utk menyuarakan kebimbangan tentang isu rumah kena pecah, pasti anda akan mendapat surat cinta peribadi daripada pihak berkenaan
2) suruh lagi ayah jumpa dean of med school untuk menyuarakan isu yang sama 5 bulan selepas kejadian, dan anda tak perlu menunggu lama untuk mendapat surat cinta yg seterusnya daripada encik dean yang tak jemu2 menghantar email ajak dating walaupun sudah ditolak secara baik
3) dah penat suruh ayah, suruh mak pulak SMS encekkamis pada jam 12 tgh malam berkenaan elaun Mara

and by SURUH, I really mean just update perkembangan semasa tanpa meminta mereka melakukan apa2.

Kesannya, anda akan dikenang sampai bila2 oleh orang yg berkenaan, dan lebih menarik lagi, anda mungkin berjaya memasuki senarai 'blacklist' mereka. Mudah kan? Give it a try and see if it works.

Grow up, people.

Doktor cuma 'berdiam' bila rakyat kritik khidmat mereka

Oleh AZMAN ANUAR
rencana@utusan.com.my

PENDEDAHAN berhubung isu penemuan dua doktor di Jabatan Kecemasan Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL) 'mencuri tulang' oleh Timbalan Menteri Wilayah Persekutuan, Datuk M. Saravanan sedangkan lebih 20 orang pesakit masih menunggu dalam kesakitan - memang menghangat.

Susulannya, pelbagai pihak lain turut mendedahkan versi pengalaman dengan doktor di hospital kerajaan. Semua doktor hospital kerajaan telah dicemuh oleh masyarakat.

Tetapi akhirnya lain pula cerita sebenarnya. Dua doktor yang dituduh curi tulang itu sebenarnya doktor pelatih yang baru habis bertugas sejak hari sebelumnya. Bilangan pesakit yang menunggu hanya lapan orang (selebihnya ahli keluarga yang menunggu).

Inilah bahana apabila membuat tuduhan tanpa usul periksa. Tidak rasa sedih dan terhinakah doktor dituduh sedemikian. Sedangkan kita tahu mereka bertugas dengan dedikasi, merawat pesakit berbilang kaum tanpa jemu, bekerja siang mahupun malam tanpa hirau penat dan lesu - tiba-tiba dituduh secara melulu sedemikian!

Jika ada pun doktor yang bersikap 'curi tulang' jangan dibuat andaian semua doktor begitu. Tempias nama buruk terpalit kepada institusi hospital kerajaan.

Pada hakikatnya ramai doktor masih bertanggungjawab dalam menjalankan tugas.

Sebagai rakyat Malaysia, mungkin kita pernah menjadi pesakit di hospital mahupun di klinik-klinik kerajaan.

Soal menunggu lama adalah lumrah kerana kita maklum jumlah pesakit yang ramai. Cuma sikap sewaktu memeriksa pesakit perlu dilakukan dengan penuh dedikasi - bukan menunjukkan reaksi kurang selesa dan kurang berminat untuk merawat pesakit.

Pun begitu, kita percaya masih ramai doktor yang komited dengan tugas mereka. Mungkin hanya satu dua orang sahaja yang tidak beretika dan sanggup mencalitkan lumpur kepada nama baik hospital.

Doktor dan pembantunya, jururawat telah diberi kursus dalam membentuk etika yang baik sewaktu bertugas. Mereka tahu cara untuk berhadapan dengan jumlah pesakit yang terlalu ramai termasuk melayan pelbagai kerenah pesakit.

Petugas di hospital kerajaan harus memberi layanan terbaik kepada setiap orang tanpa mengira status dan kedudukan. Jangan kerana pesakit terdiri dari golongan kurang mampu dan ditempatkan di kelas kedua atau ketiga, mereka dilayan bagai orang yang tiada perasaan - diherdik dan ditengking sesuka hati.

Profesion doktor cukup mulia. Tetapi naluri manusia sentiasa mahu dilayan dengan cepat dan tidak sabar jika terpaksa menunggu lama.

Perkara ini dilalui oleh para doktor. Bilangan doktor tidak pernah bertambah. Seorang rakan yang memilih bidang ini pernah meluahkan 'tidak ada masa yang cukup' untuk mereka.

Ada masa mereka terlepas waktu makan tengah hari. Kalau mahu ke tandas pun perlu bergilir-gilir. Perkara-perkara seumpama itu adalah biasa bagi seseorang doktor.

Namun, kita belum lagi mendengar doktor menjerit marah kerana kepenatan. Belum pernah kita lihat mereka memberontak dan mogok tidak mahu merawat pesakit.

Kita pun tidak pernah melihat para doktor berpiket menuntut hak mereka. Tak dengar oun mereka meminta dihargai. Sebaliknya mereka terus bekerja penuh dedikasi siang dan malam tanpa jemu merawat pesakit.

Sebenarnya tidak ramai antara kita sedar bahawa waktu bila doktor bekerja. Mereka memulakan tugas sebelum pukul 8 pagi, dan jika on call kena bertugas hingga 36 jam.

Banyak masa mereka korbankan untuk pesakit daripada bersama di sisi ahli keluarga, ibu bapa dan anak-anak.

Mereka tidak pernah merungut tentang gaji. Tidak ada siapa antara kita yang serius memikirkan soal menjaga kebajikan doktor.

Sekarang, amat jarang pesakit atau waris pesakit yang mengucapkan 'terima kasih' kepada doktor. Sebaliknya ada pesakit yang berani menghentak fail ke atas kepala doktor semata-mata kerana tidak diberi cuti sakit.

Tetapi doktor hanya diam, senyum dan meneruskan kerja. Bukanlah bermakna mereka tiada perasaan. Sebaliknya mereka dididik dan dipesan untuk bersabar dengan semua kerenah pesakit.

Jangan kerana desakan sesetengah pihak berkepentingan tertentu, mereka ini dijadikan mangsa dan bekerja dalam tekanan. Kelak ia hanya mendatangkan masalah kepada diri doktor, keluarga dan pesakitnya.

Mulai hari ini dan mengambil semangat baru sempena Hari Pekerja semalam, eloklah kita ringankan mulut untuk mengucapkan terima kasih kepada setiap doktor yang merawat kita.


Ulasan: I dont understand why isu ni perlu dibesar-besarkan pun in the first place. Like come on la, just put yourself into our shoes and try to understand what we have to go through from the beginning. Jangan hanya nak kritik ikut sedap2 hati. It is so ridiculous okay. We are not asking to be put on a pedestal ke apa, kalau susah sangat nak appreciate pun, just try to understand tak boleh ke? What's wrong la with you people? No no, not YOU you, but those people. *sigh*

Summer 2008

I went to see a doctor, and while I was lying on the chair waiting for the doctor to begin;

Doctor: (was busy preparing the equipments beside me when he said..) Ehm, kalau doktor cakap something jangan marah eh, doktor takda niat apa2, cuma tak sedap kalau tak cakap. Kenapa zip seluar terbukak tu?

Me: Haaa????? OMG!!!!! *dalam hati* (malu gileeeee kotttt!)

.........

despite that, guess I still haven't learned my lesson when I just did the same thing recently, except for this time, nobody realized it( or should I say, more like refused to let me know even if they did), even I pun only noticed when I went to the toilet for, some business.

So embarrassing like!
Who would have the courage to let people know if they notice things like this? Other than that doctor, of course.
I suppose it would be more embarrassing when people tell you right on your face than to let you realize it on your own, no?

Last day

Today is my last day at the GP's clinic. Since the GP I was always attached to was off work this morning, I got to be with my favourite GP, Dr Quille, the one who went all the way to see Pareq when she was sick last week since she saw how panicked I was at that time. Too bad, I didnt get to meet my favourite nurse since Friday is her off day. and guess what, I met my favourite patient too (cehs dan2 laa sume pun nak favourite kan, haha) this morning.

So that favourite patient of mine (I've met her previously and she still remembers me), an old lady aged 80++ came in with extensive bruising all over her buttock and her right upper+lower limbs since she fell off her bed yesterday, with a large red lesion on her behind. She said the pain was killing her, and yes it looked really bad, she's very lucky that none of her bones were broken, poor thing.. I had a nice conversation with her while the doctor went out to get the dressings, and she's such an adorable lady, very nice like. Later, I helped to hold her when she was standing so that the doctor could do all the cleaning and dressing.

Then when she was about to leave, she took something from her handbag, turned to me, and gave me a big hug and kissed me saying thank you, then she handed over some money! I was like, no2 it's alright, I can't take this, but she insisted, so at last I took it and gave her another hug+kiss.

It was such a memorable moment on my last day in the clinic. I love elderly people in Ireland, they are very adorable, yes? I'll be missing Killarney..

When you set a mission, make sure it is achievable .

LAST WEEK

A 60++ y/o lady came for a blood test in the nurse's room, and while she was there;

Lady : Who is that handsome young doctor over there?

Nurse : Owh that's billy, a medical student. Billy, this lady said you're handsome! (shouted to him and laughed)

Billy : *Blushed*

Me : *smiled* (Setting up a MISSION: I need to do something)

----------------------------------------------------------

TODAY

A 63 y/o lady presented at my GP's room with respiratory problem;

Lady : (been staring and smiling at me for a while) You're very pretty! You look so nice and pretty! If I have a son, I'd introduce you to him. .......... (Okay I added up that last sentence, she didn't say anything about the son, but I'm quite sure that's what she has in mind though, hahaha, c'mon, I need to boost my self-esteem a bit)

GP : Oh yeah, she sure is, isn't she. *smiling*

Me : Oh thank you *smiling very widely and blushing*

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

GHOST!

Just finished watching Ghost Season 1!
(excellent casts, excellent storyline)
How should I describe it, just, simply the BEST malay TV series I've ever watched! This is what we'd expect from a tv producer, 5++ star!! I highly recommend this tv series to everyone. Need I say more? Hurry, dapatkannya di youtube berdekatan sekarang~

(knp time2 nak exam ni br tau psl cite ni, dem! kan dah x pasal2 ada reason utk malas study, T_T)

kau tahu tak apa rasanya bila org tak pasal2 nak cari pasal dgn kau?
yang tetiba nak tuduh kau mcm2 padahal dia sendiri yang came out with that interpretation? pastu maki2 kau cam *&%&^$@!!, when the fact is kau tak de buat apa2 salah pun kat dia. faham tak? contohnya mcm kau cuma cakap kau tak suka apa yg dia buat, tapi pada dia itu bermaksud kau kutuk2 dia. Ya, memang rasa nak sumpah seranah, tapi kau pilih untuk senyapkan je, sebab kau tahu, kau cakap apa pun, memang orang macam tu takkan faham. oh tuhan, sungguh menyakitkan hati.

update: just because you know some of my stories, you think you know me, heh. You know nothing about me man, nothing at all! go to hell with your sick judgements! They told me not to befriend with you dari dulu lagi, but i told them you were ok, damn i should've listened to them in the first place.
