long case....

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيم

Assalamualaikum n elo...

it's already come to the end of 6th week...
that's mean it's almost time for the assessment in this Internal Medical posting --> the observed long case...
sounds 'tempting'???

it's already six weeks...and my supervisors already taught all the common diseases in the wards...
i'm grateful that i got these two great doctors as my supervisors, as my tutors in this posting...both of them are really nice...
an associate professor and a registrar as supervisor...
they searched all the cases for us and taught us to think critically so that we can survive in the assessments in this posting and become a better doctor...
understanding the diseases is the key to solve any mystery in medicine...
that's why medicine is so beautiful

thinking of the long case...i dunno whether i'm ready for it or not...
there still much to learn in this posting...and the time passes so fast this time...i can feel it...
just hoping that i'm not stutter while doing the long case...
not stuttering, not clumsy...or later

by the way...almost everyday my life in medical ward is a meaningful one, a productive one....there's a lot of thing to be done,to be observed, to be learned...
some of the patients are friendly, willingly let the medical student to check them...helping them to learn something about the disease...
and...new experience too...

what kind of experiences???
many...lots and lots of things and knowledge to be experienced...

1st time doing the what they called - "last call"
i don't find the exact definition from the internet, but from what the registrar in charge told us, it's a procedure done to confirm the death...
the components that he asked us to check - heart sound, breath sound, pupils reflex, carotid pulse, respiratory movement...
yup...my 1st time ever checking a dead man...and leaning how to confirm the death...
nice experience though...

and in this posting...i'm using the stethoscope more often, more often being misunderstood as a houseman or doctor, patients called me as 'doctor' instead of 'adik', 'kakak', or 'anak'...
and hearing 'doctor' coming out from their mouth surely give me the spirit + courage to survive in this medical school...

not too forget my parents and siblings...
goodness...i miss them so much~


ok...
i think that's all for this post...
i want to continue learning and understanding the mystery of the heart~

XOXO - i'm here, i'm so happy....
