The Physician's Oath


At the time of being admitted as a member of the medical profession:

  • I solemnly pledge myself to consecrate my life to the service of humanity;
  • I will give to my teachers the respect and gratitude which is their due;
  • I will practise my profession with conscience and dignity; the health of my patient will be my first consideration;
  • I will maintain by all the means in my power, the honour and the noble traditions of the medical profession; my colleagues will be my brothers;
  • I will not permit considerations of religion, nationality, race, party politics or social standing to intervene between my duty and my patient;
  • I will maintain the utmost respect for human life from the time of conception, even under threat, I will not use my medical knowledge contrary to the laws of humanity;
  • I make these promises solemnly, freely and upon my honour.


feel so touched when i read this at the first time

got a lecture from prof Har last week,
and it was really inspiring,

lots of things happened in this posting,
from 'semangat berkobar-kobar' at the beginning,
until now,
log books, labour room oncalls, ward-rounds covering beds,
all these had make me tired, grumpy and whining all the time....
bermuka masam everyday,
精打细算,斤斤计较。。
真的太累了,累得忘记了我初衷。。。
回头看,我已渐渐的偏离了我最初的意愿,

" to become a doctor, you have to serve, not to be served by the others...."
...prof har

well said prof, thanks for reminding us that...

无论遇到什么,都不要忘了,
为什么当初会选择这条路的原因。。。

the daffodil theory of happiness

There is no better time than right now to be happy
\^^/
Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

so work like you don't need money,
love like you've never been hurt,
and,

dance like no one's watching....

1 step at a time,
you can forever changed the world you're living now,

1 day at a time,
you can create something of
extraordinary magnificence, beauty and inspiration.

cheers everyone,
cherish every moment in your life,
as you never know what will happen 2mr....
lives as if there is no 2mr,
lives with no regrets...

take care

不可憐

6月17日早上,醒來。
我的左半身,沒跟來。
我很恐懼很驚慌,滾下床爬到房門呼喊。
媽媽把門打開。
我看見她被驚嚇的,神態。
把爸爸叫來,依然喚不起失去知覺的左半身。
我緊張得,嚇呆。害怕得,淚落下來。
病床上我聽見媽媽不斷在跟我說:不要怕,媽媽在。
爸爸不斷對著護士呼喊:醫生怎麼還沒來。
好友小越第一個趕來。拍拍我的肩膀要我振作起來。
女友握著我的手深怕我離開。我安慰她說:至少還有一半會留下來。
醫生說我:右腦血管阻塞,媽媽說:不要怕,會痊癒起來。
躺了醫院一個多禮拜,父母,女友沒離開朋友不分晝夜天天都陸續來。要我早日康復起來。
我告訴醫生:我可以自己站起來。
醫生說:過2天可以回家,物理治療要記起來。你還年輕,恢復得肯定快!
我用枴杖吃力的走進家門,看著被灰塵覆蓋的車,心好疼。
轉過身看見爸爸吃力的扶著我。將來定要,加倍感恩。
來不及邁向廁所的大門,屎糞落下,屁股還沒到馬桶。
躺在床上,翻身左手沒帶過來。右手癢卻不能自扒,無奈。
覺得自己活得很窩囊。沖涼大小便都要喊媽媽來。
定時讓姑丈推拿了幾個月,我的手腳慢慢回來。
公司說:加油!我們等你回來。
如今,沖涼大小便自己來。注重健康積極運動,要把失去的都要回來。
手癢用不求人抓,人生有很多希望,我不再無奈。
相信在不久的時間,健全的身體會再回來。能再次用雙手舞動電腦鍵盤敲出句句精彩。
3個月很快過去,時間沒因為我停留下來。
我有很努力再快快恢復起來,時間等我。
重生的我不要再像以往,我要活出最健康的精彩。
其實我覺得老天爺對我算不錯,我搞壞了他賜予我的驅體。
祂沒有把我的生命取走,還讓我有個重生的機會。
重生這段期間,我得到了對我不離不棄的家人、女友、朋友、同事、僱主和上司。
以及好多健康的知識。不要覺得我可憐,我不是永遠殘疾的人士。我比你還幸福得很。

中風,是我重生的機會。

aka. medical student syndrome

chief complain:
a constellation of non-related complains ranging from mild cold till life-threatening neurological symptoms....
involving all the 7 main systems of the body.....
ps: basically will complain of whatever bermacam2 disease that they are currently studying...
and will keep on changing according to the rate of study and their current posting
but the last sentence will usually be: i think i'm dying soon....

symptoms:
usually corresponds to the current disease that they are studying...
end with: feel like dying soon....
also frequently changed according to the rate of study and their current posting...

signs:
also correspond to the signs of the current disease that they are studying...
the ending is still the same: signs of impending death....
still...frequently changed according to the rate of study and current posting....

so, after crap-ping for so long...
being a typical medical student,
i also can't be escaped from this highly infectious occupational disease,

here go my list:
i was suspected to have:

1. bipolar - due to frequent episodes of maniac, hypomaniac and depression attacks....liak-kong~
2. some sort of brain tumors - due to an attack of syncope^^ i'm PARANOID by the way...
3. hyperthyroidism - tremors, heat intolerance, high cold tolerance...FEVER!!!
4. dengue - fever AGAIN...somemore staying in a highly 'endemic' area....
5. obsessive compulsive disorder - my feet, my hair, hand-washing....haiz....
6. chronic fatigue syndrome - asyik tired saja, sikit2 pun dah SOB (shortness of breath)
7. narcolepsy- sleep and sleepy and sleep again, but still sleepy....
8. o&g induced hypertension and heart failure - "jokers, i will fail u all, nonsense...."

so, the list goes on, and i'm having nacrolepsy attack...niteZ....


stupid emo again...

i tried and failed,
i failed and yet kept trying,

maybe it's time to let go,
it will be better if i still have some sweet memories left....

as time goes by,
i will forget about you,

don't talk to me,
nor smile to me,

don't walk with me,
nor comfort me,

we are just like any strangers now,
time is the best medicine after all....

my 1st week in o&g

as what i have mentioned in my previous blog, i have entered the posting which has the highest failure rate in a med school --- o&g...

as i completed the 1st week of my posting there, a mixture of feelings and thoughts came across my mind....

so, i listed down some of them here...

1. first of all, a big salute to all the mums in the world, especially the one that gave birth to me 22 years ago, for the hours of torturing and all those dahsyat things that can occur in the process of delivery. mummy, u're the best!!! i never think i would put myself in such situation for anyone in this world and yet, mum has gone through all these bloody, gross and damm painful process for the three of us~~ mummy, love you lots and lots!!!^^

2. i came across to the same questions that kept bothering me during my 1st year in med school, which is "is med school really a wise choice for me??"" will i become a good, safe and competent doctor 5 years later???", "am i able to stitch up the torn vagina calmly with the blood kept oozing out and the mother kept moaning in pain at the same time???" " am i able to handle a situation when both mother and her child are in great danger during a difficult delivery???"

3. i met a patient who has to separated with her newborn baby very soon after delivery. she has suffered so much for her child during the delivery and yet due to lots and lots of unreasonable reasons, she have to gave up her child to someone else.... sometimes, life isn't fair, some mistakes are meant not to be done even at the first time, though there will always be options and ways to solved the mistakes but all the options will never be easy....

4. though it is damm tired, stress and busy in this posting, nonetheless, it's a posting where all the emotions and feelings come in...i'm at one of the most important point of a mother's life, where she need to go through so much pain and danger to give birth to someone she will love the most in the rest of her life...

0&g, it's all about the circle of life and the beginning of a new chapter of a woman's life...
