Rainy days

I'm heading to KL tonight(Friday,29th).My uncle's coming to stay over.Never seen him for many years.Maybe that's just an excuse for me to come back home.

Haven't been well for this week.In and out of depression.Plus my stomach problem is back.Makes living,miserable.Psychiatry is a very relax posting.We only have classes either in the morning or afternoon only.And relax the rest of the day.There's not much patient.Only 8 of them in the ward.

Quick and Short

I've already typed a long-winded entry and my laptop hangs.Just like that.Waited for a while and no improvements.Shut it off.And obviously the entry is gone.I guess,I need to put it in Microsoft Words first.That way,much safer.

No class this morning.I'm not sure whether the Malaysian timing is the same with this blog.I'll figure out how to set it later.

The point is,we have thieves among us.Those staying outside.Came here to use the internet for free.While we,the ones staying here have to pay monthly.Unfair!

A groupmate,whose friends are rich brats are embarassed to be friends with us(me and another girl).Maybe we lack in style for this people.We no longer have a use for him I think.

Sore Throat

Have you ever felt the strong urge to hit someone?Currently I do.I always do to one particular person.I try not to be violent.I don't want to be.But the thoughts kept coming.Imagining how I would mutilate that person.Haha.

At this moment,I only have a problem with the internet connection.I am trying to download some serials from the net and thanks to the bad connection here..which kept disconnecting till now,I can't.And my anger and thoughts ran towards this particular person that I would love to mutilate.hehe.

I have a paper to write for my psychiatry posting.But I haven't really done anything yet.I was just browsing around and was reading Marina Mahathir's blog.The GE heat is getting into everyone.Honestly,as a citizen,I didn't even register myself for the election.Partly lazy,partly because I'm currently in Perlis and it would be a problem for me to go back to KL to vote.With limited bus tickets and all..Anyway politics is really not my topic.And I have to confessed I am not that patriotic.

New Department

I should have posted more pics and less words.Is that so?Currently I'm lazy to transfer all the pics from my mobile to the laptop.

New department starts this week."Psychiatry".Be prepare to get psyched!Whatever that means..The department is situated far behind in the hospital compound.Takes alot of effort if you want to get anywhere from there.Especially the "canteen".I'm talking about walking.Quite far.The clinic is in the middle for consultation and outpatients.I don't know whether they have a room for ECT(Electro Convulsive Therapy).I'll find out more tomorrow.
There's 2 wards on both sides of the clinic.For the psyhchiatric patients.On one side is for the females and the other side for the males.So the clinic is in the middle.

One patient even called us "Cikgu" on the first day itself,she thought we are teachers giving counselling for the students.She was in the female ward.Apparently our windows are facing the female ward's window.She had a nice time closing and opening the window.

New people begins to show their true colors.I'm talking about the new kids staying in my hostel.When I got back from home,the whole corridoor is in a mess and really dirty.Never in my 7 months stay in this hostel,saw our corridoor that dirty.They swept all the rubbish under my shoe rack.Their garbages piled up and not brought downstairs to be thrown away.This rich kids,must have thought they have a maid to do that for them here.Rich with money,but attitude still the same as those living in the jungle.
Madness.

Neglected Blog

18 days since I last blogged.Haha.I've been neglecting this blog.Either too much had happened or I was too busy with my finals that I couldn't find the time.
Anyway,truth is that so many things happened.Some of them I wouldn't prefer retyping.I don't want to remember them.
Finals for the pediatric posting was earlier today.I did well,somehow I don't think I deserved what I got.I could have done better.But anyway,let's just put that behind.Nowdays it's only about putting things at the back of your mind.Not to be remembered.

I'm starting fresh.Again.I don't know how many times I started already.But it's always good to start.Rather than not moving at all,right?

Overall it's a good posting(I was hoping they'd give a few days break this week,so I can go home,hehe!).I enjoyed it.Not much stress.Learnt a lot.I've seen cute kids.At least I have an idea how to be a parent and also how I'm most likely to be as a mother..haha.Honestly said,I'm not ready and I'm not mature enough.I have so many other things I want to do before becoming a mother.Put there somewhere down the list but not among the top ones.

The juniors have arrived and now it's their second week.Everything is new and exciting.I remembered how it was like for me.I was dreading the whole trip to Kangar,the first few days to adjust here.I acted and felt differently towards this new part of life(which is not that new anymore).Some of them are placed in Radiology and Dermatology.Both easy and relax posting.Unlike us,who was placed in Medical Department as our first posting.A real culture shock.It's getting better,I'm getting a hold of things here.Met various kind of people.Mean-twisted ones,good-honest,you name it.Everything is about learning.How to cope up with people.I admire one of my groupmates.She's able to ignore everything,put on a plastic face and move forward.I should be like that too.

Special Care Nursery

I couldn't remember this case.Most probably just Neonatal Jaundice..

Chubby baby!And cries alot!

Our presumed sepsis baby..

More in the future..hehe

I just found out..

I'm going home for chinese new year.Yippee!But only for several days.Anyway,I am thankful for that.At least,I can enjoy my bed and be with my parents.Everything is the same in the pediatrics ward.No outbreaks or anything.Just the same cases for over and over again.Mostly diarrhea,vomitting,some upper or lower respiratory tract cases and febrile fits.These are the usuals.Occasionally there's AGN or Nephrotic Syndrome.We had our midtest last Monday. It was really interesting because the essay questions asked us about diagnosing and the managements.At least that kind of tests is useful rather than asking us the theories like when we were in the pre-clinical years.

I asked one of the housements today.Do we have a cycle or rotation when we are housements?A specific cycle for the new doctors to rotate between departments.It seems that last time,the departments where the housements are placed depends on the hospital itself.Different hospital has different policies.Some hospital only require the housements to work at 3 departments;Obstetrics N Gynae,surgery and medical.And only Hospital Kangar requires the housement to be placed in 7 departments.As for medical base,they have to choose 2,most probably Medicine and Pediatrics.Surgery base another 2;surgery and orthopedics.Obstetrics and Gynae is a must.Some klinik kesihatan posting and the emergency department.But now,it seems that the rotation that is used in Hospital Kangar is applied to the recent rules for the new housementship which lasts for 2 years!Which also means,I'm in for it too.

Well let's look on the bright side.At least we can gain more experience in knowledge.Put aside the forthcoming stress when we are working as a housement.Which job doesn't have stress?
