Woke up at 6.50 am.... wah.. my bed was so comfortable, so reluctant to get up... plus, i slept late last night.....yawn...
After breakfast, washed up and got ready to go to the hospital again... haha. Daddy drove me there.. According to the schedule, we were supposed to go to the plastic surgery clinic and the Timur 5 children's surgical ward today....
We gathered at the main entrance... 8.30am, we headed for the poliklinik. Today, we were more independant.. or maybe the group leader was. He brought us to the plastic surgery clinic and told the MA there that we were here for the exposure program....Well just beside us was the O&G clinic.. so there were many pregnant mothers walking past us.. and looking at us a weird kind of expression.... maybe they are thinking.. what on earth are these youngsters doing here?? hahaa
However, it was fun being at the clinic.... the medical officer (i forgot his name) brief us about the plastic surgery clinic, though he was supposed to be on leave today.... then introduced us to the surgeon, the MA and the other MOs in the clinic... Not forgetting the part that almost every doctor told us, being a doctor is not easy... especially during housemanship....blah blah blah...
We were allowed to observe the doctors doing their procedures in the clinic today.... there was one lady, she got operated on her face to removed a suspected tumour. The operation was performed a few days ago. I'm not quite sure of what they did in the begining, because i went in towards the end of the procedure.... when the doctor made a few stitches and then,....done!!
The next case, a Vietnamnese lady who got her finger injured during work. The skin on her second finger joint was tear of.... or something like that.. They used the skin on her abdomen to replace the skin on the wounded area. To do this, her injured finger was stitched on her abdomen to allow the skin to grow over the wounded area... and their task today was to separate the injured finger from her abdomen.....and so on....
Ahha, here's the most exciting part of the story..... Guess who i saw when i got out from the clinic?? hahaha..... Singapore Mediacorp actor, Zzen Chong... just in case you don't know who he is.... he played the charater, Robert Zhang in the Little Nyonya show. haha.... when i saw him for the first time, i didn't really realise that it was him, i just thought this guy was really familiar... and i know i saw him somewhere.... then, i turned again, stared longer.... this time he looked in my direction.... and i was like wah!! really it's him lah....he smiled... and probably thinking why is this silly girl keep looking at me?.....and there was these two girls who went and took a photograph with him.... hahhaa.... Well, its really unexpected that he'd come here....you know... but it turned out that he was just accompanying someone here..... i guess it's another malaysian actor.. looks like one though... hahaa.. but i only saw his backview.... hahha
Somewhere around this time, received a call from Pn Patricia, informing me to attend the prize giving ceremony this Saturday....and then Yam Nee's sms saying that she passed her driving test....haha
After that, went for lunch at the cafeteria.... bread again....
Afternoon session... went to the children's surgical ward..... briefed by a doctor there... the same thing lah... but this one was more encouraging, she told us that we will be able to overcome all difficulties in time to come, though it's not an easy job....We went from bed to bed.... asking the parents of the patients what's wrong with them....and they told us their story...
there was an baby, he was scalded on the face, poor thing, seeing his face all covered with goss.... then there was this baby, who undergo an operation to make a pathway for him to defacate, and then a chubby boy, Fuad, don't know why he was admitted, but he was sure a cheerful patient..... and then, this girl, Kelly... wah sei.... at first she was quite shy and didn't talk much..... asked what was her name, age and blah blah blah..... hahha... after that she became very talkative..... talk talk talk... using her bear and tortoise as props... acting and everything.... ahe speaks in chinese and so, only few of us know what she's saying....aiya, all in all she's a headache....both of us argued about some trivial thing some more... hahhahaha..maybe because i'm as childish as her lah... haha
After that, we went to the mortuary... so called jabatan forensik... we requested to go there... and request granted... hahha.. The smell from the mortuary is so strong.... you know, those kind of salted fish smell, luckily i was immune to it already. It's not that i have this kind of perfumes lah... haha.... but sometimes my house was filled with this smell too, caused by a dead rat or a fish at the backyard....so, everybody(almost) was pouring minyak kapak on pieces of tissue paper and covered their nose with it... haha..as if the minyak kapak smelled better... but i just can't tahan the minyal kapak smell, so i just beared with the already existing smell...never mind lah.... After that, we were brought to the a room where the bodies were laid temporarily there before their kin come and take them back.... we were in luck, as there was a body in there, and the Ketua opened the white cloth to let us see... kalau mak jadi doktor, kena kuatkan semangat he said....
Followed by the rooms where the bodies are washed and then sent to the family members....nothing much there.... and then there's the freezers.... where they keep the bodies. There's one compartment reserved to keep the amputated legs, i didn't asked what they are goin to do with them.... and then the Ketua opened two compartments for us to see how's it like inside the freezers.... both of them housing decomposed bodies....one of them is a police case.....
Later on, we went into the post moterm room... the Ketua explained to us the function of each tool, and explained the process of post moterm to us....
ok, that's it for today... i need to sleep already... don't want to go fishing tommorrow.... hahhaa By the way, we have the Urology clinic and the PP1 and PP3 wards to go tommorrow, seems boring to me.... but again, it's the second last day.. haha
OOoh, i was called to go for the JPA scholarship interview...31st march..2pm....haiz.....
ok, that's all, nite nite, god bless
