What Color Heart Do You Have?

medicine end of posting test

it was a strange test. Strange but good. i thought i was prepared, i had a fundoscope (even though i don't know how to use it), orange stick, Snellen's chart, even a clipboard for my paper. But guess what! I wasn't so prepared after all. I forgot to bring my stethoscope! I left it in my bag at another ward and just when the doctor was about to introduce me to the patient, my heart almost stopped cos i realised my stethoscope wasn't with me! Super sian. Had to run down to get it and run up again. By that time, i was sweating like hell.

My first case was this gentleman on telemetry (some heart monitoring thing). He kept talking about how his stools has blood and everything and i was trying to time his pulse, look at jvp, palpate, auscultate blah blah blah. After examining, the doctor asked me, " what is your diagnosis?" i was stunned man. I thought she'd say something like present your findings, or tell me the important signs. People always tell you to be prepared for any kind of questions, but when it actually happens, it's not so easy to react. I told her my diagnosis was mitral regurgitation (which was correct cos i went back to check the file) and aortic stenosis (my auditory hallucination). Hehe. I think she got a shock when she heard that one.

My second case was quite hard to find. We had to go to many wards to look for patients because they were either discharged or too tired because many students have examined them. I ended up with a patient with rheumatoid arthritis. I was quite happy because we had a good tutorial on RA just a few days ago. But as i was examining, the room became extrememly hot and stuffy. I knew i looked very funny because i was trying so hard to look and sound intelligent but i was sweating like a horse. Not very glamourous at all.

Then just as i was preparing myself for the long case, she told me ok. that's all for today. What?! I mean, YEAH! i don't have to clerk anybody and sweat somemore. I think i did ok. The cases weren't that hard. However forgetting my stethoscope was a big boo boo. My examiner is a cardiologist some more. I knew i would get a cardio case. Didn't touch any of my other equipment at all.

now i'm waiting for kok pin to finish his test. He got the same examiner as me but i think he has to do long and short cases cos he started with long case. If final mbbs is going to be like this, i think it's not that bad. Cross my fingers, toes, eyes and everything that can be crossed!!

2006

According to my birthday characteristic, i'm a turtle.

If you are a Turtle: You are near to perfect and nice at heart.The examples of your kindness are always circulated in groups of people.You, too, love peace. You wouldn't like to retaliate even to a person who is in the wrong. You are loved due to this. You do not wish to talk behind one's back. People love the way you always treat them. You can give, give and give love, and the best part is that you do not expect it back in return.You are generous enough.Seeing things in a practical light is what remains the best trait of you guys.

You are near perfect and nice at heart. Hehe. I wish!

You love peace. Yes, world peace. Peace between family, friends, intra and inter cg.

You wouldn't like to retaliate even to a person who is in the wrong. Haha. THIS is definately not true. I will always speak my mind even though i always regret it. I'm definately not loved due to this. In fact, i think i've made a couple of enemies because of my frankness.

You do not wish to talk behind one's back. Hmm...this is a tough one. I definately do not wish to talk behind one's back but sometimes i can't help myself. One of my new year's resolution is to stop bitching.

People love the way you always treat them. This one i don't know. Must ask the people around me.

You can give, give and give love, and the best part is that you do not expect it back in return. Hehe, i guess this is true. I have lots of love to give. If you expect returns, then it's not love already.

You are generous enough. I like to think i'm generous.

Seeing things in a practical light is what remains the best trait of you guys. Yup. I'm practical.

it's only the 8th day of the new year but many things have happened. I have a feeling this is going to be a really bad year for me. This is the advice for doggies like me. "Be prepared to face challenges ahead. Keep a low profile, think twice before you act, and avoid loans."

Grumpy New Year

I don't like new years. I usually associate it with bad and unhappy things like school reopening, unfinished homework, blah blah blah. This year is especially bad. I was definately not in a cheery mood during the countdown. There's really nothing to look forward to. More postings. Exams. The big MBBS. Big sigh.

Tried my best to think of exciting things. Gilmore girls is going to resume next sunday. FINALLY. Don't know why channel 5 keeps postponing the episodes, as though it's not important at all. Desperate housewives coming in febuary, so that's another thing to look forward to. I miss the old comfort shows like friends and buffy. I guess everybody has to move on.

I'm also looking forward to earning my own buck. But not at all excited about the lack of sleep that comes with the job.

And i'm excited about the end of med school. Just 3 more weeks of med, 1 more month of surgery and that's it!! I'm tired of going to the wards and looking for cases. I'm just tired of everything.

oh. And just after we ushered in the new year, i was told that this is a bad year for the 'dog' people. Yup, that's me and the rest of the people born in 1982. My aunt said that the newspaper reported that people don't want to hire workers that are born in the year of the dog. Celebration.....
