room 38 & 41

phew..one whole week finally ended...
seriously, being a Dr is not that simple..
you certainly need to have the knowledge,
knowledge about medicine certainly...
also all sorts of skills...
including..
> how to do clinical examinations
> how to interact with patients of all kinds..
- from an infant to elders
- man or women
- all sorts of races (Malay, Chinese, Indian and others..)
> how to related systemic illness with the presenting one
> Differential diagnosis...subsequently ure provisional diagnosis
> plan of treatment and treatment...
>...and so on...

so dear colleagues, when u have time, go to hospitals. watch and learn what a doctor do and act towards patients. supaya kita bila kerja nanti tak kekok bila practice medicine. :)...we're all still learning..so gather as much while ure still a student..to prepare for upcoming job...
dah3..cukup setakat tu, cuma nak tulis experience bila pertama kali attach dekat hospital...terasa diri sendiri bengong and kekok bila Dr suruh amek patients history and present..but anyhow, i'll keep on trying to improve myself...

so what i've done so far in the ophthalmology clinic..?
1. use an ophthalmoscope/funduscope to do the
light reflix & red reflex
test for RAPD
see findings on the fundus
2. interview some patients..but sucked!..heheh..
3. learn new things about clinical ophthalmology
4. oral-like questions from the Dr
5. see a eye-Laser procedure
and some other stuffs...tk ingat..hehe

bottom line, i've enjoyed the week really well..
lets get ready for d coming week...
tata~

room 41 is the active clinic where the patients are seen by M/O's,,
while room 38 is the clinic where I attached with Dr Rozita, the Ophthalmologist..
