posting in medical ward

this week i started my posting in medical ward..as usual i go to hospital at the morning and return home at the afternoon.
most of my friend asked me,'did u get paid while working in hospital'......which i hope i did, as i m run out of money all the time during my summer holiday(no pocket money mar)
actually i'm not working in hospital at this present time. i m just a medical student, which still have long way to go, much things to learn...who gonna hire me as a medical assistant who know just little thing? just let me know and i will definately go to them,hahaha

some of my friend already done their posting, on their way for holiday plan, while i still have 2 weeks to go...sometime i just found it's quite boring to be alone in hospital...what can i do, it's so hard to find a person with same objective as i in the hospital, or maybe i just not that lucky to meet someone.

feeling tire and sleepy for the entire weekday since came back from my genting trip with family..
although i get myself enough sleep for 7 hours a day, but the hot weather just make me feeling lethargic and my eye lid heavier than ever... just hate the feeling

life...

life are so precious, so priceless....
this is the only chance we have and it will never take twice
yet there are still people who take it easy....
i wonder what's the meaning of life to them

i have seen many people were sent to A&E due to their carelessness
especially those people who drink and drive....
should we pity them?
as a personal, i won't feel sorrow for them as they are risking his and other people's life, wasting all kind of resources and time. THEY SHOULD PAY FOR IT.
but in medicine.. we should do our best to save a life no matter of what circumstances..
this sound a little bit contradiction..
'saving life, curing illness, practicing healthy life' is the main motor for me to practice medicine.
my friend once asked me a question 'what if the person you dealing with is your enemy who might kill you after that? will you safe him?'

1st night in A&E

today i was so intended to go for A&E department, since i m so looking forward to enter A&E in the past 3 weeks attachment in hosp
i was looking for a company all the time so that i won't feel too boring to be alone in A&E, but end up no one would like to company me coz all my friends are soooo 'busy'...so sad

yesterday night i said to myself i will go for A&E, haha
yes indeed i went for it alone......
i thought tonite i will be alone, maybe standing there whole night doing nothing but blocking those medical staffs....'niet'(which means 'no' in russian), it was a nice experience.
at 1st i met some IMU students, 'wau', they are hardworking, and one of them which i met are really brilliant and nice...but in my opinion most of them are great, just i don't have the opportunities to interact with them. really hope to learn more from them and the medical staffs.
and then i met my old IMU friends....i was really surprisingly to meet them. and thanks alot to them which makes my 1st night at A&E more fruitful....looking forward to join them as 'comrade',haha
i thought to stay there overnight, but half way in the middle i ran back home..just can't tahan the loneliness...
tmr will be another A&E night for me...

放飞机~~

还记得小时候，每当手上有一张纸事便会折起纸飞机
喜欢和朋友比较谁折的纸飞机比较‘geng’谁的比较会飞，谁的飞得比较高
有时候还会互相锲磋，交换彼此折法的厉害，谁的折法比较美，哈哈
当飞机折好了，用口向飞机头吹一口气，然后便用力把飞机抛向高空中。。。。。咻~~~~~
然后便大声呼唤，兴高采烈的看着它在空中飞翔。。。
小时候放飞机是多么美好和快乐的回忆

现在长大了，玩纸飞机的习惯老早就没了，更别说放纸飞机了
也许，小时候太喜欢放纸飞机，现在长大了也会给人‘放飞机’
长大了，许多事情也变了
以前一起呼天唤地的‘猪朋狗友’都不见了
隔别了大约几年的时间，想和老朋友见见面也相当的困难。。。
他们都是去了工作，整天忙得不可开交。
谁叫我是最得空的。。。整天闲来无事做。。。。
看来也只有我这种人在‘这时侯’有闲情来给别人放飞机吧~
翻另一个方向想一想，以后我做工的时候可能比他们更忙，忙得连电话也没时间听呢！哈哈

body part <------>food

here is what i heard from a doctor when i was posted to labor wad
'your body is somehow connected with the food'
who does he tried to say?? i guess.......
the case was...
a malay lady with 2nd degree obesity with maternal hypertension, gravida 1 and parity 0
she had a macrosomic baby, and by the time i enter the cubic she just finish the delivery and motionless....
the baby is big, with jelly cord(actually nothing special about jelly cord, it's just a jelly-like cord)
when i look at the patient's vagina, there is a lacerated wound, should be due to tearing when the baby try to come out, and the wound is very big even the external sphincter ani muscle is torn.

here comes the doctor asking"how do differentiate internal and external sphincter muscle?"
refer to the sentence he said above, internal sphincter is lighter in color which will be fishy color, while external sphincter will be darker in color which resemble beef color.

yeah..it's a good way for remembrance, but somehow if starting from now on every time u eat fish or beef you think of the sphincter ani muscle........yew!!!!
for me it's ok...i never think much when i m hungry, i can have good appetite even after inspecting a smelly cadaver, how about you??

偷懒。。？

通常我每天七点多到医院，然后都会呆上整个上午，吃过了午餐再回医院走一圈，有时还会呆到下午三四点，才拖着‘疲累’的身体开车回家。
我有遇到几位IMU的朋友都说我好勤劳，好‘bia’！！其实我自己知道自己的料，我对许多医学知识一知半解，不是忘得一干二净，就是根本没听过。。。。和他们比较，我觉得自己好渺小，必须靠边站了。。
曾经很疑惑，到底我学了四年的知识到哪里去了？或许是国度风情不一样吧，临床的时候那些所学的东西好像都一文不值了。。。天啊！！！！
今天终于狐狸尾巴跑出来了。。十一点多便溜走了。。。。
跑回家后，也没读书，就一直打扫家里。。。洗洗车。。。听听歌。。。上网一下。。。整个下午就这样过了
说我偷懒。。。。偶尔一次不用紧吧，今天突然感觉很想休息。。。。把那些烦恼抛到九霄云外~
以后做医生就不能了 ：P

The Goo Tolerance Index

Gooiness Reference of Selected Specialties Scale (GROSSS)just for fun, don't take it seriously =P

Low-goo specialties (score 1–3)

Psychiatry

Very little goo is involved, unless you count emotional goo.

Radiology

Practically goo-free. You get to sit around in a sterile office all day looking at pictures of goo, but you never have to touch it. Your Italian loafers do not get stinky.

Neurology

You do have to touch people, but most of the time their bodily fluids are not leaking all over you. (If they are, call the neurosurgeon.)

Moderate-goo specialties (score 4–6)

Family medicine

Lots of mucus, earwax and toe jam, with an occasional smattering of pus and vomit. Overall, though, the goo tends to be stable and relatively odour-free. Also, it is interspersed with enough insurance forms to minimize the impact.

Internal medicine

A little gooier than family medicine. If you do not enjoy the tangy aroma of infectious diarrhea, stay away from this specialty.

Pediatrics

Patients are often very gooey and have not gained full goo-control. However, they are relatively easy to tolerate because the goo has not had 75 years to fester.

High-goo specialties (score 7–9)

All surgical specialties

Surgery is perfect for those who like to be up to their elbows in goo. When goo gets explosive — think projectile vomiting, arterial spray, or tense, pus-filled abscesses — who do you think they're going to call? (Not the psychiatrist, I can assure you.)

Note: Be wary of surgical specialties such as ophthalmology that try to fool you by assigning pretty names to their goo, such as "aqueous humour" and "vitreous humour." Let's be honest: when a nail gun meets an eyeball, there is nothing humorous about it — it's just aqueous goo and vitreous goo.

Emergency medicine

This specialty is made worse by the fact that the goo is entirely unpredictable. The emergency physician can be relaxing with a Bratwurst sandwich one minute and picking someone's intestines off the floor the next.

Dermatology

This is a specialty for the true goo connoisseur. Dermatologists delight in taking photos of the gooiest lesions they can find, then presenting them in slide shows with catchy titles such as "101 really cool penile warts."

Extreme-goo specialties (score 10)

Pathology

If festering abscesses and explosive melena are not gooey enough for you, this specialty is a perfect choice. Pathology is the only specialty where you get to work with decomposing, bug-infested goo and use words such as "putrefaction" and "necrosis." Plus you get to solve murders single-handedly and hang out with all those hot-looking crime-scene investigators.

Conclusion
so....what do you think of this goo tolerance index? how gooiness you are?
