Epic -- FAILED ~LOL~

Had an Oral Med session with Dr Ari and he told us a story where an oral surgeon mistakenly took a "c"(deciduous canine) out instead of an "e"(baby molar) when the child was under GA as he read the general practitioner's writing wrong.

So we went on asking what happened after that and Dr Ari replied:

"Well.... extracting a c mistakenly is still better then a surgeon taking the wrong kidney out!"


~ HahahhaAHahHAhhhh ~


CLASSIC!!!

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

Had another classic conversation with Paran:

He was showing me a clip of a few Indian men doing pole dance  (a gymnast competition to be exact)

I said to him that it looks painful..

He replied: 

" IF YOU HAVE BALLS, YEAH!"      

"and i do"


~ HahahHAahahhhh ~

[The Destiny]

A nightmare
A killing field
A cruel but sensible killer
A good deed
An eternal friendship
and the true devil

=.= """""

Was shadowing a dentist in Prosthodontic clinic when a nurse budge in and say hi. Both of them were so happy seeing each other again, gave each other a big hug and started talking about their babies, the difficulties of being pregnant, their ultrasound scans, etc..... I just realised that the dentist is pregnant at that moment (after 1 hour of shadowing =S)!

Didn't really know what to say, i went on asking when they are expecting their babies.

A patient who was sitting on the dental chair was listening to the conversations and passing some little comments. Then, he turned to me with a cheeky face and asked:' So........ are you expecting a baby too???"



----- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -----


Was treating a patient yesterday when Dr Campbell came into our surgery, walked to my side, and whispered:" DO U KNOW WHERE AM I FLYING TO TOMORROW??"

I looked at him for a good few seconds, confused. Was trying hard to recall. He must have told me before or else he wouldn't have asked me.

Suddenly it came to my mind.

MALAYSIA!!!

I jumped and shouted. Trying to suppress my excitement and feeling embarrassed as the patient is still there.

Very pleased, Dr Campbell raised his eyebrow:" Kuala Lumpur..... and Sabah!"

Oh please..... why does he has to remind me?

Spent most of my time today imagining our beloved tutor having his fun time swimming in the sea, enjoying the sunshine with a coconut sitting beside him.


GREAT!

=.="

Fun Night Calls ^^

Hohohhhhh

Done! One wish in my list down! - to experience the life of an on-calling doctor.. =D

Basically it is like a routine -

Rushed our dinner, get into the hospital, steal some scrubs, then make our way to the MaxFax ward, changing over...

A list of tasks was then given, with a summary of patients’ details.

The 1st hour is most chaotic as we didn’t know what was going on in the ward. Spent 2 hours working out what need to be done depending on the urgency of the cases, looking at the X-rays taken from the other departments (not even knowing what we’re looking for), answering the nurses’ queries while not knowing much about the patients, cleaning up the mess that was left behind by the previous SHO in charged. Then, we'll be spending the whole night answering the bleep, changing fluids, assessing A&E patients, making decisions, suturing, etc.......

If we are lucky enough, we might get some sleep as there is a dorm for the doctors on-call, however we will have to make sure that we don't fall dead asleep and not answering the bleep.

The hospital is very quiet at night, most of the time will be just the 2 of us walking at the corridor rushing to B1 / H2 / I5/ wards, HDU, ICU, A&E....... Well.. i sort of like it as no one will be blocking our way =p

As we have to cover ENT as well, we get cases such as stitching an ear back too while we have got no training of suturing an ear! So WH will just have to be flexible then. Had a few patients coming in with fat swollen face from trauma. 

The best part is to follow the consultants for a ward round in the next morning. Some consultants are kind enough to give constructive comments and to explain. We are lucky enough to have a MaxFax consultant who is humble and patient. 

The highlight of the whole weekend is to watch the consultant and his registrar draining a haematoma (clotted blood) through an open flap at a woman's scapula. We stood there for almost half an hour watching some blob of blood oozing out from her back. Wish i get to do it =p

Last night shift went very slow as it was a quiet Sunday. No complaints... 

After few days of on-call, we're both knackered. Especially Ah Hong who was under the pressure. Yet, we did enjoyed the nights and i did gained a lot by just watching and giving a hand, trying to make myself a little bit more useful. =D 

Had a day off and i am already missing the hospital! It feels kinda odd sleeping on my bed again...

A bit crazy... =s

1st coming On-call !! ^^

Yooooohooooooooooo!!! I'm gunna be on-call!!!!!
First on-call ever in my life... hehehhhh

Will be having a long weekend as we are having a day off on the coming Friday and Monday. Ah Hong suggested that Abdul and I join him on-calling for the weekend, keeping him accompany. He will be the only house officer on duty. Of cause, we accepted the wonderful offer. I have always wanted to experience the life of a doctor and the 'beauty' of an on-call.  =D

Looking forward to our midnight call !!! hehehhh

*^^*

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

Ange cooked us lamb chop for dinner. It is juicy and delicious!. Abdul bought red wine to go with the meat =). We then had Ange's homemade choco muffin for desert. In the middle of digging into the muffins, we came out with an idea of BBQ-ing her left over marshmallow using the candles.. lol


Topic of tonight: < What we see everyone in 10 years time >
and i am gunna be someone's mistress?????
LOL.....

Am currently living in Big bro's flat - A very nice apartment, close to the city.
It was sunny this evening when i got home and so i took a little break at the balcony, gasping some fresh air, enjoying the scenery.


The complete opposite of 12 Banff Road, with no houses blocking the view =D
