a visit to YOKUK...

http://www.yokuk.org/
today, i woke up at 7.45am, prepare myself and waited for the van that brought me to YOKUK at 8.30am...

reached there after 15min of drive... i came here today because this was my first time visiting the place and wanted to help out in the 'gotong-royong' as well. At first, the place was quiet...it seems empty. Then, came a few men and women, they told us what to do...since it was still early, they decided that we tidy up the compound of the institution.

Each of us (7 people, 4 guys and 3 ladies) were given a rake. We were told to clear the leaves that were scattered all around. It was just like the 'Khidmat Negara' type of gotong-royong so there is nothing much to tell...

After finishing our work, we were given drinks and 'kuih'...later, we set up 2 tents for an occasion at the 31st of July (Birthday party for the disabled in Kelantan - around 250 disabled will be invited according to the people in charge)... here comes lunch time, we had 'nasi kukus' ...yum... after that, they sent us back to campus...

wow, did some charity work today, and in return was given free breakfast and lunch.. =) helping others and myself at the same time...hehe...

3rd week ended...

wow, 3 weeks already in the posting. The whole week was a busy one, time was spent on doing case write-up, attending tutorials and presenting cases... next week, ill be meeting my supervisor in charge for the posting. He will be assessing me and my friend for the mid posting test. Dont know what to expect. My case report was far beyond par if compared with my friend's. So i hope that the doctor wont compared our reports..but anyway, im prepare to be scolded..cuz i really think my report a bit sucky. 3 weeks more to go, hope to have a better weeks ahead.

Oh ya, i met a junior (1st year) and he is from Seri Sentosa as well.. but he was there only for Form 6..damn, he didnt know that there are 2 seniors from sentosa in USMKK, he only heard of Alex..=(.. anyway, glad to know that i got a junior ...haha...

This saturday will be going to some place to do gotong-royong...lets see how was it..=P

Unlucky situation..

today is a weird day for me... the day seems normal as usual till around 4.30pm when i clerked this patient (a 13 year old boy)... he came to hospital with complaint of chest pain associated with cough, vomiting and flu which happens for quite some time already..after the interview, i did the routine physical examination lor... was doing respiratory half way then my colleague came and guided me through the examination... all of a sudden, my patient seems to be in distress..

so i mah stop examine and ask him to sit up.. then, he seems to talk about some things (******) to his dad... after that, he became pale with respiratory distress (coughing, groaning) with pain... and i told to kid to cool down and relax...=) but he condition seem worsening. Then i saw his dad keep on shaking his head...and said something...like "what the f*** did u do to my son"... i was like OMG, did i do something wrong, press to hard? and his dad told me to use my brain la..u know his condition liao, dun la kacau him... (i was just doing my job =(... i told sorry and stood there like a stick?...then his dad yelled and tell me to get away!!

damn, with a stressful feeling, i walked to the counter and sat beside a Houseman (doctor)... i asked her how was the kid's condition, and she told me that the kid was having GERD (gastro esophageal reflux disease) ... hmmm.. doesnt seem to be a serious condition afterall...

later, the patient wanted O2 ...and i saw nurses and my other colleagues bring ECG and oximeter for the patient... wah i tot is some serious sh*t, tot that the patient will DIE!!
not sure whether is lucky or unlucky, the result of the oximeter ( O2 saturation 99%), ECG normal but not standard ( tak cantik with lots of useless waves- maybe my colleague's techniques sucks...hehe)

ask doctor again about his condition, and the doc said something bout "the patient got some PSY" what is that? ohh...psycho problem rupa-rupa... then after some recall from the history, maybe what the doctor say is true, coz he is the only son in family and his parents are all quite old (his dad look as though he is around 50++) after knowing that his condition is stable after the doctor prescribed MMT ( some kind of antacid for his gastric attack) his condition was stabilize..

wah.. what a day.. kena marah . Is it my fault? is the patient too tired from endless clerking before me ? is the patient faking the pain? nobody knows... (only god knows lo) doctor is here to serve mankind...that is our OATH... getting scolded is a normal routine...i must bear with it..and be happy...=)
