Hidup mulia

Having a strong foundation of anatomy and physiology is very important in medicine.. With it you can easily understand the underlying pathology of a disease and enable us to explain what went wrong to our patient .. Since its human nature to forget things we dont recall, memorizing those things is a huge challange.. AT the moment i’m in the library preparing my self for IJN posting .. The minor posting I had last week was o.k! I think i made one wrong diagnosis out of 8 .. so thats consider ok laaa ..

Since morning i’ve been reading on the autonomic nervous system which associated with the regulation of cardiovascular system .. easy said, it control the heart pump.. there are other factors that control our heart but my particular concern on nervous system because it enable me to better understand mechanism of action of the medical treatment .. Feel like my head is going to explode so I better get some rest …

Today’s news paper wrote about the political situation in turky. One of the presidential candidate ABDULLAH GUL was ask to withdraw by the military because of his ISlamic stand.. He is a consevative muslim and most of top ranking people in Turky  belive in sekularism hence they worried that Abdullah might change their way of life which started by Mustafar Kamal Attartuk .. I think few days ago, there was an article about TUrky’s school stundents were not allowed to wear tudung in school … What do you guys think ..

My headache has subside ..

Better continue studying ..

Gosh in 2 days time my minor posting is going to end .. I can feel that i’ve learn something but what ever it was, it’s incomplete .. 4 different posting, 2 weeks each .. To me its just too short .. My brain is not fast enough i guess .. Just finished doing the past year question, well more like reading the answer rather then actually trying to answer haha .. Medical student .. This is the quality of our future doctors .. Perhaps my brain needs more holiday but my gut feeling wants to starts working as soon as possible .. 2 days from exam and I’m here writing my blog .. What does that means ???? I don’t know .. The time is too short to cover everything so why bother .. Emergency medicine, opthalmology, dermatology and ear, nose and throat .. can you imagine having all these posting in one particular exam ..

Would i stress myself to even attemp to get distinction .. I can’t even get distinction for one posting let alone 4 .. SO i think i’m just gonna keep on reading the answer and the question from past year tomorrow and the day after that and hopefully .. it’ll come out …

Next month i’ll be doing my elective in IJN … There, i’ll be posted in cardiology for 2 weeks, anesthesiology 1 week and cardiothoracic surgery for 1 week … I’ve always wanted to work there and settledown here in KL … Its a good place to work other then the traffic jam … A lot of people life were saved here .. I’m actully a bit worried about cardiothoracic though, cause my future supervisor is a big shot consultant trained in mayo clinic USA .. you know the teaching hospital in greys anatomy .. Will I be able to impress him .. I’ve been planing to prepare myself for this but so far was unsuccessful cause busy studying minor posting.

Why do medical student study ? What motivate them to sit down for long hours reading, understanding and memorizing instead of going out enjoying life ? I have my own theory ..

In every posting, we had teaching session with our lecturer in the hospital .. We call it the bedside teaching .. A few of us will take history and perform physical examination and present the case during bedside teaching .. During this session our beloved lecturer will ask many question about the case presented and most of us try our best to show off our knowledge by answering his question .. Of course most of the time the bright student will answer the question .. As for the rest of us , well what to do we just cant remember .. Thats why we keeps on reading .. Lecturer will remember the bright ones and they will talk about them with other lecturers … We didn’t actually gain any throphy, it’s just that most of us were once the best student in our class .. ANd when someone prove that we are not the best anymore, we work harder to gain our title back .. A bit sad huh …thats the reality …

I dont have any specific thing to write actually .. I just open my blog and start typing what ever cross my mind .. Have a good day everybody ..
