Picking up the pen
13 March 2007It’s been a long time since I last wrote anything with a pen. I don’t mean filling up forms or writing short answers/notes for school, but pages and pages of writing. The last time I wrote anything longer than a page must have been during A levels! Then along came general medicine posting with its […]
Confusing Days
10 February 2007Remember when you were a kid and your mom told you not to lie? But situations in life sometimes force you to right? And the little sin now and then does help make things better occasionally, right?
Well, a “little lie” got my group into a mess (and evenings of hard work) 2 days ago…
We all […]
Emperor’s New Clothes II
5 February 2007The second week of general medicine has just started and with that, comes the long Monday and the lunchtime radiology meeting. After last week’s experience, I thought no one would go for the meetings this week, but somehow, everyone did. O_o No, I couldn’t understand why I went either!
This time around, the less intelligent one […]
Emperor’s New Clothes
29 January 2007General medicine started today, and it seems like this semester is not going to be as laid back as the previous one. The general impression is that this rotation is a lot better organised that its surgical counterpart… and a lot more demanding too! *gulp*
There was an X-ray meeting today, that we were “encouraged […]
Another weekend away
26 January 2007I’m going off again.
This time ’round, to London for the UKEC January Council meeting. It is a 2 days long meeting, to discuss various issues affecting Malaysian students in UK and Eire. I will most probably come back 100% drained of energy, just the right note to start a new semester on, don’t you […]
Getting back into the swing of things
25 January 2007That is so not happening. Since getting back from Switzerland, I have been staying in bed till at least 11am and I don’t feel even a tinge of guilt. My room needs packing, my desk needs to be cleared, but I’d rather move my MBP on to the bed than to clear my desk.
Yes, […]
Disastrous exam II
18 January 2007MCQ, 20 cases 20 diagnoses. I don’t know how everyone else managed it, it is a major guessing game for me.
OSCE
OMGWTFBBQFLUIDBALANCEOMGPRESCRIPTION? *choke*
History - Stop short a few times ‘cos stuck ‘cos not used to not being able to scribble, forgot quite a few things as well.. *grave dug*
Peripheral pulses - Blanked out. Don’t ask. $%*^£@ […]
Bottles
14 January 2007Here’s a picture of the window sill in my kitchen…
*puts on uber innocent face* I’m innocent, I don’t know how they got there. Really.
Clinic Panics
13 January 2007Most of us have done stupid things somewhere during our student life and as medics, it’s more often than not related to clinical skills. Like Xiao said, “stressful situations, diff la…” and yup, it is definitely the pressure that got us doing ridiculous things. I was reading Jimbo’s posts on exam bloopers and decided to […]
Disastrous exam
9 January 2007Musculoskeletal and ophthalmology OSCE today was disastrous and it wasn’t because I don’t know how to do the physical examination or how to answer the questions. It was because I knew how to, yet couldn’t do it properly. Yes, I freaked out.
Someone commented that OSCE is like a performance. Right now, I feel like […]
Yesteryears
6 January 2007We were on our way to the airport on Tuesday evening when my brother commented*,
“IMU was good for you.”And he was right.
Since coming to Belfast, there has had been various occasions where I find myself thinking back and being very thankful for the 30 months I spent in Bukit Jalil. I’m not only talking about […]
Growing Up
26 December 2006I’ve been home slightly over a week and will be leaving again in exactly a week’s time (sigh…). This past week, I’ve been meeting up with family and friends. (To anyone who is interested, my books are out of my luggage, and have been sitting on my table for the past week, unopened.)
A cousin commented […]
