Phase 2

Gosh, its been ages since my last post. and here i am, in the first part of my clinical phase. 4 weeks of introduction to history taking, abdominal/cvs/respi/ bla bla bla examination techniques. and the rest is rotations of 6 weeks each in different wards of different disciplines.

so far, it has been a very interesting experience. making my few first encounter with a real patient. having the opportunity to create this special bond with real human. not just sit in the lecture theatre learning things theoretically. being in the hospital, i really feel like home.

been spending 2 nights for the past 3 weeks for pt clerking. appendicitis, DM, and the rest are other basic and common cases. looking forward for more interesting cases to clerk in the near future. and really anticipating to help the senior in the OT assisting them in minor or even major surgeries. huhu. that would be a very very valuable input.

well, we are almost done with our introduction phase of the first 4 weeks of Phase 2. Im getting ready and prepping myself up for my groups first posting; Medicine! which is of course what im expecting for as a first posting. hehe. then it would be paeds, then surgery, then ortho.. and im not even sure if that's in the correct sequence, hehe.

gonna double up my efforts soon. medicine is a very scary field once you've done half way. you're gonna realize how vital it is to be fully equipt with knowledge and clinical skills. there's no other way to improve than to read read read, clerk clerk clerk, examine examine examine. no cutting corners!

wish me luck, and to those having opinions on the medical course in this country, whatever it is, if ur rezeki and correct nawaitu is there, what else you wanna complain about, it is as simple as

'a good doctor will prevail while the other will fail'

amen.
