MISTAKE DONE IS A LESSON LEARNT
The other day I felt totally guilty for not awaring the severity of the condition.
I was deeply saddened.
One thing I wanna remind other people whenever u see a CVA/ICB patient who has GCS dropping, when your MO does not plan properly, don't wait for him to come. YOU MUST INFORM STRAIGHTAWAY whether for intubation or resuscitation.
There goes one case I finally realise how important it is to assess GCS and most importantly, don't wait when the GCS is dropping!
ARGHHHHHHH.... Let me shout out loudly.... WALAOYYEH!!!!!!! DEAR GOD, WHY YOU CHOOSE ME?

Merciless Beggar Clan
The STAR reported yesterday that some syndicates were trying to make money out of these poor fellas. They were believed to be poured acidic material and amputated for some reasons.
The other days there was one in PASAR MALAM SS2 when I was pak tuo ing with my gf.
Let me describe how I feel when I saw this poor beggar!
He does not have fingers.
His eyes are totally red! He could not close his eyes because his eye lids are gone!!!
He could not close his mouth as if his lips are stiffened!
He could not talk, can only vocalizing... A oo ..oo
They have scattered hair as no more hair is left.
Nobody or only few people who dares to give money to him.
He looks like a monster!
WALOYYEH!!!! This is totally inhumane. How can be a normal human being be tortured like this!!!

Yesterday was an eventful day, today is a present
Pharmacist hot chick
I always believe pharmacists are well groomed than the female HO. There are reasons behind this provocable statement.
1) Female dr rarely have time to make up and take care of their skin. There is only 2/10 I observe in a collected sample that is truely pimple free. There are 7/10 pharmacist I observe that are very fair due to make-up.
2) Dr needs to oncall and that really affects the skin surrounding the eyes and hormonal imbalance. Pharmacists has oncall too. but not as long. They have more time to sleep.
Then here goes the scene:
My MO and I were having rounds. There goes this pharmacist hot chick (HC) coming approaching us and said:
Hi, May I ask you drs something.
MO: ya, ... replying...
H.C: oh...
After the conversation, the MO spoke to me in low tone: Hot chick ya! Why not go for it?
YY: cannotla, I got gf ald... She will kill me if she knows this.
MO: haha, you got gf ald.... same school? Junior ah?
YY: nola, still studying.
MO: Oh.. that means no chance d la..
YY...'=@ WALAOyyeh!!!
Bad unreasonable scolding happens....
Yesterday was a day of mixed feeling.
I was fcuked by the same MO.
I felt like crying but I stood still, restraining the tears that were going to oozze out from my lacrimary gland.
Here goes how it happened.
From 12-1pm, I knew there were 2 discharges that I needed to do. I asked the nurse at the counter and she said-Never mind la... Go, Go to the back to clerk the case first. nanti MO marah...... So, I went clerk the case and took the blood. that took me around 40 minutes. Then, I went down from 8th floor to "BEG" for a CT Thorax, Abdomen and Pelvis appointment and that really took alot of my time.
She was a Thal mjor patient who had spiking of fever which was not resolving. Blood cultures initially showed Klebsiella sepsis but repeated CnS showed no growth. Even the haematologist who saw her asked me to please at least get the urgent appointment. I was moved and eager to get it today. I emphatised the girl as I had to take her blood so many times to look for atypical infection- fungal, aspergilosis, parasites....
Then by hook and by crook I got the radiologist to at least did a thorough USS scan for her. and finally got it! Liver abscess!!!!
I was so happy that at least finally we have a target to treat! I went back to ward happily....
and shockingly I was scolded in front of few people for not doing discharges for the two patients and was queried where I had been for the past two hours!!!! and my explanations was not acceptable at all.
I was so upset!!! But, I learnt that I should not have the outburst!!!
The girl finally was referred surgically and for further management. I felt happy for her.
At the same time I was thinking.
Tak buat discharges kena marah. Buat baik pun kena marah.
Walaoyyeh!!! life is damn hard
History repeats itself......
Few hours after that, there was an old patient failed resuscitation and passed away. I saw the grandson sobbing in tears, reddened eyes and trying very hard to calm down...
wALaO, he reminded me of myself 4 years ago when same things happened to me.
His grandmother passed away.
I remembered that time I was crying "cats and dogs"
Suddenly I felt like I should do something as applied by the sayings-To comfort always!!
I started the conversation: I know it's hard for you. I was just like you 4 years ago...
He murmured in tears: I have been living with her.. for 30 years. She is the only one I have got. because of her, I came back from overseas to take care of her...
I comforted while holding his hand (Plz la, this is not an offering from a gay partner)---- Be strong,my friend,It's hard for you to take. You need time to accept and get out of this,but most importantly,u need to live with it.
It' really hard, until now I am still thinking about it, but I am proud cuz I did something that can make her proud.
WalaOYYeh.. talking about this makes my eyes wet.

A simple " Thank you"
Today was just other normal days.
I was clerking patients, doing bloods and running up and down in the female ward.
Then, while I was searching for a plastic for putting my investigation containers, a very "familiar" face appeared in front of me at the counter.
He was looking at me with a kind of look.
I fired: YOU LOOK FAMILIAR LA, MACHA~!
He bombed: Oh, You dunno me ah? I was the one who came that day with the damn stomach ache!!
I suddenly recollected: OH, YOU!!! Why u come here, this is female ward la, go back to your ward la, wife admited also ah?
He was a bit held back, but replied: Oh, no la, I discharged already, I purposely come here one to thank you.
HUH? I blasted back with a simple "WHY?" then, how did u know I am here?
He said: I asked your doctor friend la..U know that day I was having pain for 10 hours. No doctors can relieve me, thank god got u, at least u got my pain away. Thank you very much la..... while shaking my hand.
My cheek reddened, oedematous. " No la, Nola, I did nothing. But, glad that you are ok now.
He then shook my hand again,thanked me again and left.
I still remember that day was my first active call. WALAOYYEHHHH!!!

walaoyeh
The reasons I WHY start thisblog is because my past experience has taught me that :
1) Blogging is interesting
2) Blogspot.com is easy to use
3) The urge of blogging arises
4) "Tracing the hero's footstep" has become rubbish bin for rubbish comments from Japanese website which I have never visited before.
5) The experience of housemanship should be shared.
Now, HOW am I going to do it?
1) I still will not blog often
2) Blog post will be short
3) Each post posted is open for comments.
4) Each post posted will be notified thru facebook/ twitter
5) The one who feels the urge to comment, plz feel free to comment; The one who dislike the way I do, U can just leave this blog alone
6) Plz comment using ur real name
7) It will be a very plain blog, never a colourful and pictorial one.
Yours sincerely,
WALAOYYEH
