Program Pendedahan Kerjaya Seorang Doktor.....4th Day

Today's the second last day of this program..... yay...in the sense that i don't have to wake up early after this wahahha..... but boo...because i'd just started to get myself used to this new environment... Anyway, the interview's next Tuesday.... am i doing any preparations??? Apparently, no... haha... i intended to blahhh my way through this.... perhaps....:)

So, as usual, went to the hospital before 8.30am....meet up with the rest of the group members before setting off for the urology clinic. So, we went to the Poliklinik first, but we have no idea where the urology clinic was. Luckily there was a sign board there and we found out that the clinic was at the third floor. so, we took a lift up there as no one wants to climb the stairs....reached the third floor, but then again, there were more clinics there.... the psychiatric clinic, skin clinic, dentist... and etc... as a result, we mistakenly went to the psychiatric clinic, and we saw a patient coming out of the doctor's room...he looked at us, confused, and then smiled and say good morning... we got a shocked, because at that time we weren't aware that we were at the wrong place... so, we also greeted him....good morning....hahaa

After that, we managed to find the place....sat on the chairs...and waited....A doctor there briefed us about his life being a doctor.. He told us that he had his medical studies in India... and also....the standard thing....'being doctor is not easy''....kind of thing...but he urged us to come back to serve in this country even though if we were sent overseas for medicine.... because our country is currently short of doctors or rather doctors working in government hospitals..haha...most of them either continue their stay overseas or opted to go to a private hospital...gaji lumayan, they said....haha....but to me, the money is not a problem....it's the passion that matters....haha

After staying there for more or less than 1 hour, we left the clinic and went to the children's ward... where we went yesterday..... Saw the boy we saw that day at the A&E, the one who had a broken leg after falling into the drain....we learnt more about the accident from his parents today...it was a hit and run case, involving a taxi... and the police are still investigating to find the culprit.... kelly was still sleeping at the time we entered the ward...but she woke up before we left, so we spent some time talking to her....she's better today, maybe because her mother and little brother was there....haha....

Next, we went to the cafeteria for lunch...an early one indeed....haha...half an hour earlier. On the way to the cafeteria, we saw a middle age lady....she stopped us and said she wanted to share with us something... so, she started talking. She had a leg injury, and had a swollen angkle or something, i wasn't paying attention because she was surrounded by the rest and i was squeezed right at he back..... after that i found a better spot and continued listening..... she actually went to a private hospital or a clinic before coming here to take an x-ray and for futher investigations... before i go on, her son-in law's a doctor also...so she told us that she went to see a doctor here and without looking at her injury nor taking an x-ray, the doctor just prescribed her some medicine....she was very unhappy about this. She doesn't intend to take the medicine prescribed for her and added that she wants to show her son-in-law.... haha... and we just listen, nod our heads... what she's trying to tell us is that, when we become doctors, we should not treat our patients like that, at least, we must examined the patients injury first before prescribing medicine, or letting them go out from the clinic without making a thorough checkup...and guess what, she called us young doctors.... (so, we looked like one ya??) hahhaha

Today's lunch break was long...because we came down earlier than anyone else. After that, we went to the PP1 ward, women's medical ward. Walk 1 round, blocked some people's way, messed around with the files before we came out...we make sure we did that in every ward we go... hahahahahaa...After that, we proceeded to Block D, men's wards. We did the same thing there also... and created more congestion in the already over-crowded wards..hahhaa

Finally we were allowed to go back....again, we were early by 20 minutes..haha

Tomorrow's the last day of this program... According to the schedule, tommorrow we are suppose to go to the A&E....I'm not sure if there will be any ammendments or not....but i hope not..haha

ok, that's it for today....

nitez and god bless
