I PASS MY EXAM
Thank God! I pass my final exam. What a relief. Results were announced last Saturday. All my housemate pass except Zul. He failed Surgery and Medicine. This the mortality rate was really shocking! 17 students failed. about 20% failed in the UPM final examinations. this breaks the record in the faculty and in the country! UM mortality was 2%.
Today, went to met lecturers at faculty. met Prof Yunus, Prof Dev and Mr Kwan. They gave an advice how to become a life as a HO. life just begin man!

PALPITATION, DYSPNOEA AND REDUCED EFFORT TOLERANCE
lagi 16 hari nak big bang exam, final exam of the year. the exam where i can be a doc or not. takut siut. sekarang dah ada palpitation. makan pun tak lalu tapi tidur over-over lak.
pagi tadi baru jer buat short case kat wad P2. banyak jugak case respiratory, cardiovascular, pns etc.
aku rasa banyak aku tak tau. especially pasal fundoscopy dan orthopaedic. surgery macam ok tapi dah banyak berkarat. medicine lagilah, makin banyak baca makin banyak tak tau.
entahlah, i really hope that i can go through this exam. tak larat nak ikat perut sebab tak cukup duit. yea la dah la sewa rumah mahal, parents aku pun tak dapat tolong.
kalau dah kerje, i have my own money dan boleh lah survive kat malaysia ni.
aku appply ho kat hosp klang, melaka dan tawau. hajat dihati nak letak tawau pilihan no 1. tapi tak der duitla.
WISH ME ALL DA BEST FOR MY EXAM!

I FEEL GOOD
The whole last week i was at the National sport institute, KL. what a great place. here is the place where they trained professional atheletes. The posting started on Tuesday (24/02/04) [mon is a public holiday] . arrived there at 9.00 am, we used a LRT b'coz the faculty does not provides a bus that day. welcomed by a cute and charming AP dr lim, he brief us what to do here. later, his assistant, ms sue git bring us around the place (tourlah). nice place and great facillities. they have a pool, gym, exercise physiology, counselling room etc.
at lunch time, we played basketball. with a tie a casula shoes i shut 3 balls. the game was great. this is a 1st time we played together within 5 years. actually we played like a net ball as most of the girls were net ball players. in the afternoon, was spent at the exercise physiology room. met mr patrick (canadian), he thought us how they assess the fitness of an athelete. limi offered to undergo the process. in a machine, with a running floor, she runs at the gradually increasing constant speed. her mouth was connected to a com where her O2 consumption and CO2 product can be measured. she got tired at stage 2 (ok lah for girls).
here we had a lot of activities.
at morning we joined sport clinics. adalah tengok kes sport injuries.
in the afternoon, we went to the pool and learned about aqua jogging. this help in rehab pt. met ms sandra, a tall mat salleh girl. we also play a games with the pt in the pool. we lost 0 to 9 points. the next day, met her again and she thought us about exercise in a gym.
we met a few numbers of well known atheletes. took a picture with lee lam wah. met nazmizan (sprinter) who broke an asean games record. saw hafiz hashim but don't dare to approach him (seganlah) while he was in training.
the last day was ok. we had a psychology session. here we need to tell about our selves to the group. i knew a few of my friends secret, one of my friend cried (don't expect her to cry b'coz she is hunky punky gal). what a shock!
the posting here was enlightment me to a new field of medicine, where medicine is applied to sport. it is an interesting field and wish to come back there.

hari nie dah 3 hari posting kat hospital selayang, posting pasal penyakit rheumatology. cantik betul hospital selayang nie, macam hospital private. sejuk ber aircon, tak macam hospital kuno kerajaan lain. wad pun luas. katil pun baru. setiap pesakit dpt cubicle sendiri beserta ngan tirai. tak macam ngan HKL. tirai pun tak de. sometime kalau nak buat per rectal examination pun tak bertirai, open!
Nilah kelebihan hospital baru. kerajaan sebaik mungkin nak perbaiki perkhidmatam kesihatan rakyat.
Workload kat sini pun tak banyak. so boleh concentrate pada patient in detail dan hopefully tak mismanaged.
KEs-kes rheumatology kat sini memang menarik. adela tengok kes SLE dan rheumatoid arthritis. pagi tadi clerk case patient suspecting ada connective tissue disease. History pt nie:
19 year old Malay, boy:
c/o bilateral calf pain for 3 months
-worse on walking
-relieved at rest, taking analgesic
-intermittent, moderate in severity
went to nearby clinic, blood Ix showed raised ESR,
referred to Kajang hospital,
xrays done: normal, discharged but developed,
bilateral ankle swelling for 1 month
sudden in onset.
also had LOW, LOA, sms of anaemia
no history of alopecia, malar rash, oral ulcers, joint pain, fit
no family history of connective tissue disease
o/e
cachexic, pale, no jaundice
left supraclavicular bruit
CVS, Resp and abdomen normal
livido reticularis both lower limbs
erythema nodusom both feet
generalized hyperreflexia
What is yr dx?
p/s they are thinking of polyarteritis nodosa, investigations are waiting.
