The Twelve Types.

The ultimate 12 types of medical students.










They really exist.

Gone

"You dont worry , dear. You'll only do what your heart desires, nothing else."



Your presence will be deeply missed grandmama. I'll always love you. And I'll make you proud. I promise.

You are now pronounced DEAD.

A blog post by Dr. Erhumu. I fancied it. So thus, I'm reblogging it :)

Read a story about someone who was discovered alive after being put in the mortuary - Scary, very scary. It would have been priceless though to see the face of the mortuary attendant or whoever discovered him. Imagine opening up a body and the 'dead' body goes,"o hello there,i've been wondering when someone would stop by".

What are the end of life signs?

Doctors usually do some physical examination
before pronouncing someone dead, these include:

Checking the pupils

Checking the pulses

Checking the heart beat

Checking for respiration

There was mild drama recently in the ER when a doctor certified a body dead. While the body was being taken away, there was a loud uproar around the Emergency room that the body had moved.
The body was quickly rushed back to the doctor.
The doctor fearing a possible mob action had to ask for an unbiased second opinion.
Of course, the body was still dead. So what must have happened? Your guess is as good as mine.

Many a time i find myself going through the motion of checking a body that is so obviously dead and feeling stupid about it. Imagine an almost decomposing body brought to the ER, then imagine a doctor bringing out his fancy stethoscope, checking the heart, looking at the eyes, checking for respiration." Hello! He's been dead 2 days!"

Notwithstanding, it would be quite callous and completely irresponsible for a doctor to go,"o yeah, i see him, he's dead alright, cover him up", without performing even some perfunctory checks.

For medico-legal reasons you still have to check and maybe double check however unpleasant it is; because, strange things still occur that may be hard to explain away scientifically.

'Make way, subjects coming through'

I normally dont do this. I normally dont blog what happens to me in daily life. Because if I do, my readers would be bored(I'm an ordinary student living an ordinary life.).
But this time I'd like to share a rather fun (funny) experience that had happened on Wed (25th July).

You see, I might have joined med school already but I'm still in the preparatory phase. So, we're not officially Year 1 students just yet. The REAL Year 1 med students were having their Professional Exams this week. Their last paper was the Practical part where they had to perform Auscultary (blood pressure taking) for patients. Since they're first year students, it wouldnt be appropriate to perform on REAL patients so our Lectures asked for volunteers. And yes. We the Prep Course students volunteered as their SUBJECTS.

We felt like lab rats.

It was hilarious.

The students were so nervous , I felt soooo pity by just looking at them.

Nervousness can really bring down one's performance. Some of em' did everything upside down. I didnt know whether to laugh or help them. (I couldnt do both)

We were in alot of pain at the end of the session . Blood pressure taking can be painful if you pump a lil tooo much.

But trust me, we have all become so good in Auscultary. When its our turn next year, we (I Hope) will ace this part of the examination.

Dream.

Reality bites .

Simple

Blogging from my phone.  What else could be simpler?

Wonder why I never thought of this earlier.

Oh well.

Toodles for now.
XOXO:):)

Nothing more noble

Somebody asked a doctor How much do you make?” The Doctor replied: “HOW MUCH DO I MAKE?” … I can make holding your hand seem like the most important thing in the world when you’re scared… I can make your child breathe when they stop…I can help your father survive a heart attack…I can make myself get up at 4AM to …make sure your mother has the medicine she needs to live…and I will work straight through until 4am to keep her alive and start the day all over again! I work all day to save the lives of strangers…I will drop everything and run a code for hours trying to keep you alive!!! I make my family wait for dinner until I know your family member is taken care of…I make myself skip lunch so that I can make sure that everything I did for your wife today was correct…I work weekends and holidays and all through the night because people don’t just get sick Monday thru Friday and during normal working hours. Today, I might save your life. How much do I make? All I know is, I make a difference...

Karma

This was what I got out of Wikipedia when I typed 'Karma' in the search engine.

Karma (Sanskrit: कर्म IPA: [ˈkərmə] ( listen);^[1] Pali: kamma) in Indian religions is the concept of "action" or "deed", understood as that which causes the entire cycle of cause and effect (i.e., the cycle called saṃsāra) originating in ancient India and treated in the Hindu, Jain, Buddhist and Sikh religions.^[2]

Do you believe in Karma? Being a hindu, I do. But you know what makes me really believe in Karma?

Them.

What I look at everyday.

For me,

Long Holiday = Frequent Mental Attacks

So, to reduce the occurence of these mental attacks, I make it a point that I look at the following pages.

It's the reason why i'm still sane.

First, Twitter.

Next, Tumblr.

Lastly, U Torrent.

Guilt.

Things have happened. Some, important. & some, not so important.
But these things that has happened, not many people are aware of.
Well, because I've not told anybody. Except for the people at home, no one really knows.
There are many reasons why I didnt tell them. Mostly because i've been phone-less for a month
now. T_T

But whatever it it, I feel incredibely guilty !

So, let me summarize the things that have happened.

-results from previous college were out. not so good. not good at all.
-wanted to apply  somewhere else,BUT i was not even eligible -.-
-got a provisional letter to do the degree course I much love from my previous college.
-thought i'll just go there. thought i was left with no option.
-but never gave up.
-did a lot of research.
-wanted to get into a college which was approved by the Malaysian Medical Council so badly.
-found ONE college that accepted my FIS cert.
-BUT, i would have to go for a ENTRANCE exam. (MET-medical entrace exam)
-as usual, I behaved cowardly. didnt wanna do it. (because only I know how much I've forgotten!)
-dad,mom insisted in me doing it -.-
-had ONE week to study for 4 subjects ( syllabus comprising ALL secondary & pre-U subjects)
- practically died that week. alot of tears.alot of prayers.
-went for the exam. Cried in the hall. couldnt do it. Guessed my way out of it.
-told mom & dad to forget it. will never get in.
-the people in the college said they'll call the next day with my results. but, NO phone call.
-3 days later, they callled.
-they said I got in.
-2 days later, I was a registered student.
-Next week, I start my classes. (not officially)


So, see. Things just happens sometimes. I really didnt want to go back to my previous college.And its happening :)
I'm so sorry I didnt tell anyone. I didnt know how to say it to them (Especially to those who were going to be my course mates again, I didnt know how to break the news to you guys.)
I, truly, am sorry .Never had such good friends. Been so thankful.

But I dont think I will ever stop feeling guilty....

sorry.

Shien....

Love you my dear Shien. And I know you're hating me for this post. BUT Shieny I miss teasing you :'(
