4th day already.Time really flies when your having fun.And again,we got another posting.Urology department.Something to do with the kidneys,bladder,ureter and urethra.Anyways,we headed to the urology department and met with a sister there.I forgot her name .Haix,having bad memories these days.Must be the on call I guess.HAHAH.the department was really small,only 25 beds and only 12 patients,mostly post surgery cases.Mr Kalidasan was the head but we didnt get to see him.Anway,we got to interview some patients:
a)1st patient was a man who was admitted for the first time from 12/2009.He had some kind of cancer and inflammation of the kidney.He has a restricted diet and has to be admitted every three months to undergo a procedure.
b)2nd patient was also a man,who had water in his lungs,underwent a surgery to remove one of his kidney which the wound was now infected.Poor guy,imagine the pain and suffering.He has tubes connected to his chest to remove excess water or liquid.
c)The next patient was a teacher.Wow,imagine knowing a teacher who has health problems.SAD SAD.He had a cancerous growth on his bladder but only certain part of it could be removed.He has to come to the hospital occationally to do 'irragation' of the bladder which means(clean out all the blood)Btw,the irrigation liquid used is 3000ml saline that can last to 2 to 3 hours.
Next stop was the orthopedics ward.All about bones,bones and bones.We just randomly went there and there is one particular patient we were interested in.There were two policemen guarding him and we asked the ma few questions.HAHA.The best part was they thought we were doctors and they quickly scrambled away their chairs and stuffs.LOL.Anyway,he was explaining about the patient who was a convict that injured himself while trying to escape.Broke his arm.They had to 'jaga' him in hospital until he is found guilty in court.And yeah,an advice to all doctors,treat anyone no matter what race or religion or background he is from.We must even treat convicts.So thats the job of a doctor.And yeah,as usual,we were out of departments to visit and started to wonder around.AND GUESS WHAT,WE WENT TO THE FISIOTHERAPI DEPARTMENT!haha,it was not even in the schedule man and yeah,we were the only team to visit that place.GO GROUP 1!Fisio was really fun too!The lady explaining to us was very nice.She showed us around(without knowing that we were not suppose to be here)haha.Equipement such as electroterapy for severe injuries such as knees and back pains.And yeah,what is the difference between a hot and cold pack.Well,a cold pack is used to treat acute pain,to reduce inflammation at the wound and help blood clotting during a recent injury.A hot pack however is used to relive pain after 2 to 3 days.The infrared ray machine is used to treat back pain and small steps are used for patients to relive their walking abilities.Wow,and then we went tot he gymnasium.HAHA.really nice to watch people recovering from their injuries.There was a wrist movement manchine,ultrasound for back sores,shoulder wheel and wax therapy to treat hand and finger injuries.The weight suspension is used to work out the muscles to their normal condition.Wow,it was really all worth it.We left the jabatan feeling a sense of satisfaction.We saw what other groups didn't and it was a cool experience!
Unfortunately,our loitering antiques came to a grinding halt as we went to the jabatan Perubatan Nuklear.The place was full of people and we messed with the wrong staff.The head lady was stern and demanded where our sister was.Wow,luckily I told Charwinth to act blur and tell sorry for tersalah masuk to this jabatan to Puan Salamah.Thank God we escaped punishment!Whew,that was the last time we ever went to an unscheduled department.BUt the story would certainly be a shocker!Seriously,we were dead bored and didnt know what to do.We don't have anywhere to go!Gosh,Su li came up with a wild idea to go and hav a visit to Monash.Woah,if the hospital finds out,we are dead.but again,whats life without risks.So,we headed off to the university!HAHA,scary but true.It was out of bound and high above a hill,but we managed to get there!And this was the day that I was soo damn determined to study there!Thanks Su li for the visiting idea!The campus was simply superb.As we entered a student from Botswana introed us to Kak Faizah,the receptionist over there.She was so friendly and referred us to a sister whose name i forgot,but she was awesome!She took us in and showed us around the campus.She was so happy(I guess they rarely get visitors)The campus has been operatinal for 4 years now and they are building a new one which is much bigger nearer to the Sultan Abu Bakar Mosque.And yeah.the old building will be completely turned inot a library.Cool.And yeah.good info for me,the 5th year rotation will be done for 6 months in Australia!OMG.The country is awesome.We entered the lecture room and its was wnoderful.Fully furnished and simply a condusive environment to produce good doctors.Had a quick photo session before going downstairs for a drink.The staff there were so welcoming and they were really nice people.I LOVE MONASH UNIVERSITY!
OMG,after that,we still managed to go to the O&G department to watch a baby being delivered.Wow,sadly,no one was gving at the moment but the sister was super kind to show us around.AND YEAH,SHE CALLED US ALL DOCTOR.It gave me feeling good sensation when she called us that.Felt really good.HAHA.Yeah,i'm Dr Suman Pillai btw.LOL.This building is quite new and it was flly airconditioned.There was a bilik saringan which is the checking and waiting time before a mum goes into labour.And the Deawn Bedah,where the Caeserean operation is done.ICU labour room is for mum's with disorders during pregnancy such as high blood pressure,diebetes adn fits.And another thing is the drug(Tocolysis)a medicine for the mother to tahan sakit before delivery.On the whole,there is about 15 dewan bedah and they have a shortage of staffs.HAHA.Another warning is HUSBANDS ARE NOT ALLOWED INTO THE LABOUR ROOM UNTIL THE WIFE GIVES BIRTH.Any idea why?Because there was once a case that the husband slapped the doctor,thinking that the doc was harming his wife.WTH DUDE.HE'S WAS JUST HELPING MAN!Hmm,anyways,the sister told us to grow up to be doktor yang prihatin dan berkaliber!And also manage time well,study hard and save sometime to take care of our own health after becoming a doctor.Owh yeah,before i forget,we made an appointment with her to see a delivery tommorrow morning!Cool!I cant wait.And yeah,she explained the process of child birth but I 'LL EXPLAIN IT tommorrow to get a better view after seeing the real thing!Really curious about tommorow,but thankful to GOD for giving me a wonderful experience today!Tommorow and tommorow and tommorow.LOL.Peace.
