Serdang hospital, day 1

Semalam, elective posting kat Ophthalmology department begins.
Memang tak ada prepare ape2, mcm baca buku opthal ke ape..just gamble je pergi hospital..

That morning, I went to hospital serdang alone, by myself.
Dah check jalan kat Google Map…lagipun, tahun lepas ada pernah datang kat sini untuk Physiotherapy, so ada cam2 la sikit hospital ni.

Anyway nak cerita, mula-mula nak kena lapor diri dulu di hospital.
But at that time, tak tahu nak lapor diri kat mana, so tanya dekat kaunter perndaftaran , mana tempat Unit Latihan. Akak tu bagi arah, kat pejabat pentadbiran, tingkat 3.
So I went there and gave my borang and gambar, she said nak buat kad hospital. It was 8.30am.

“okay, so ade kena pakai name tag la ni”. After that, I went to the ophthalmology department.

Awal2 memang blur, sebab tak tahu nak jumpa siapa. So I took a walk around the department.

“cool jugak tempat ni, nice and clean” .

Pusing2 5 minit, jumpalah abang ni, En. Azlan, pembantu perubatan kt dept. tu. So I told him about me and my purpose being here in the ophthalmology dept.. then he took me for a walk around the dept. and introduced several Doctor’s to me.

I was supposed to meet the head dept. Dr Razlian, but he was not around. So I met Dr Rosniza, the deputy head dept.. She assigned me to the active clinic, where it receive new cases and follow up cases. Okay, that’s nice. So I’m attached with the M/O in charge there, Dr Masyitah.

It was a hell of a day, from 9.00 until 5.00, recess in the middle 1-2. Ramai betul patient. Dr cakap, sebab hari Isnin, sabtu ahad cuti, sbb tu la ramai. Anyway sronok jugak sebab dapat jumpa banyak patient. From child to old patients with all sorts of eye problems.
From my observation, most patient came with conjunctivitis, either viral and allergic. most of managed by giving artificial tears. Other than that, I always see patients with foreign body in their eye.

So did I did the???
Well dapat guna ophthalmoscope untuk examine patient. Buat Red reflex and swinging light test untuk check RAPD. First time dapat pegang ophthalmoscope, jadi sangat kekok. Apa lagi, kena minta tolong Dr ajarkan la cara2 guna ophthalmoscope tu. Terpaksala, sebab kt U, belajar theory je banyak, practical kurang. Other than that, ada dapat peluang guna slit lamp tengok patient nye mata, Dr ade tunjuk 2-3 kali la findings yang Dr jumpa.

Ada sekali tu, Dr sruh amik history patient. Caranya lebih kurang je macam yang dah belaja dulu. Tapi sebab lame dah tinggal and tak revise baik, kekok jugak la. Banyak kali Dr mencelah and betulkan cara2 ambik history. Memang terasa sangat inferior sebab tak cekap ambik history. Then Dr suruh present kt die apa yang dapat daripada history taking tadi. In english.
Arghh hancur2..hehe. padan muka, sape suruh tak study sebelum pergi.

All and all, sronok dapat duk kt hospital and tengok patient. Dapat kenal selok belok cara kerja kt hospital di Malaysia. Penat seharian di hospital, walaupun duduk hospital je. Tapi sronok dapat develop clinical skills and apply apa yang pernah belajar 3-4 bulan yang lepas.
Okay itu saja, malas nak type panjang2, wslm.
