Of Radiology and Anaesthetic

My 6 weeks of MSA (elective la) is coming to an end soon. This week will be last week of MSA and my last week in QEH, the hospital i've been going since my 1st semester.

My first elective was medical imaging aka Radiology. I was attached to the radiology registrar for 3 weeks and i think it is ok. At times it could be boring. Oh and i fell asleep in front of the consultant AGAIN (yes again this is not the first time) when he was discussing some CT scan findings with the registrar i was attached too. Hahahahahahahaha. Thinking back, i don't know why i did the sleeping in front of them. Wonder what will happened if i do the same in front of some lecturer giving us MMS session back in IMU (will i be kicked out of the session???). Here are some pictures i took when i was doing radiology.

And the CT scan finding(s) show.....

After 3 weeks of radiology with no patient contact, i was literally dying to have patient contact. So i was actually looking forward to my next elective, ANAESTHETIC cause i think there would be at least some patient contact and i am going back to the THEATRE. Gosh its like doing my surgical rotation which i really enjoyed.

Anaesthetic rotation was not too bad either. At least i get to do something. I intubated a patient (it was mostly done by the registrar), gave 100ml of panadol to the patient and mix granisetron and dexamethasone and gave it to the patient as anti-emetic. I love the registrar for allowing me to do all this. The registrar also bombarded me with so many questions not on drugs and pharmacology but on physiology and ECG (die die die). Oh and guess what, one of the IMU (super) senior is a registrar in anesthetic. She is more to intensive care medicine registrar but as part of her training as an intensivist she has to do her anaesthetic rotation. According to her, anaesthetist are weirdo and even the anaesthetist know that they are weird LOL. Ok here are some pictures i took when i was standing there doing nothing.

The monitoring/ breathing machine!!!

Paracetamol (BIG PANADOL)

Drugs, try guessing the name of the white drug

More drugs

Tomorrow is my last day in QEH and anaesthetic. Guess i will go for one more surgery before i go off. Gosh i am gonna miss that hospital. Made so many new friends there. Next rotation is Orthopaedics in Royal Adelaide Hospital (RAH).

Mua Birthday

This is MY month. Yes people i always love July cause i'm born in July, so i officially declare it as my month hahahahahahaha. Anyway did you know July was name after Julius Caesar, the great Roman leader. So interesting right hahahahahaha.

So today is my birthday and guess what, i am a year older, a year wiser and if i'm vain i'm just a step closer to having wrinkles all over my face. Ok i'll go check on the mirror for any wrinkles now................ done no wrinkles. phew.

Wonder what i can do on my birthday? Sangee just called me and wish me happy birthday (thanks a lot Sangee really nice and sweet of you). Got loads of wishes in Facebook (the power of social network) and i would like to thank them all as well. Wishes are pouring in from very old friends, old friends, moderately old friends and new friends (the four category of friends that i came out with spontenously. Wonder if i can publish it somewhere?).

So Sangee told me not to study on my birthday. In fact she told me not to do anything. Hehehehehe Sangee i would love to do that. If i were at home in Malaysia, i would just sit on the couch and watch TV the whole day. My parents would then bring me out for dinner and i could decide what i want to eat. Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese, Thai food, Western you name it (but i can't go for indian cause my mum don't like the smell they put in the food. Said she feels nauseated smelling it). I would usually pick chinese cause it is everywhere and it's way cheaper than the others and it taste superb too.

After dinner i would come home and watch more TV shows. If you wonder where is the cake..... well my family don't go with cake hahahaha. Dad complains that the cake are too sweet these days. Mum, no complain but she doesn't know how to pick one. The only cake they knew are Black Forest (their favourite), Fruit cake (my favourite), and Cheese cake (no ones favourite). Cakes like chocolate banana and all doesn't ring a bell, but when you buy it and let them eat it they will say "Wow this is good, i really love it. Where did you get this?"

The second part of my celebration is with my friends. Sky, Qian bao, Ling Ling bao, yu gin, Kay Por, Ren Ping, Dororo, the loud and noisy MICHELLE LEE (yea you deserve some attention hahahaha) etc (there are just too many of you for me to name) will all organise a surprise or a birthday celebration for me with a cake. Usually it ends messy with your face smashed on the cake or part of the cake (wonder if they have change their style hmmmm).

Hahahahahaha this is how i celebrate my birthday back in Malaysia. It's so nostalgic!!!!

Well this will be my first birthday in a foreign land. Hope it doesn't get messy.

P.S. really miss you guys (seremban people, Aberdeen people, or wherever you are), when i come back next time we must meet up NO EXCUSES!!!!!

Short and random weird post.

Hann Yee how did you find out i have a blog? How? How? HOW? Shit man

See my name on her blog. ooooh i saw Sow-my-aaaah name

Now i cannot make funny comments about her since she knows i have a blog. Damn it!!!!! (this blog is suppose to make funny comments about people............ ok i haven't make one yet but i will do so in the future) I wonder who told her...... or maybe she found it incidentally like those pituitary tumour which is most probably found incidentally while doing a scan.

Ok i think i better go back to my studies. These days i am so free cause i am in radiology. I haven't seen or touch a single patient so far by my own (except when i clerk patients with my prof). One of the Singaporean here told me why i got radiology. He said i am too stress up and the posting is to allow me to relax (the Singaporean i mention is not from IMU ok).

Fine back to my studies.

P.S. I shall make some funny comments next time....... maybe hann yee doesn't read this blog hehehehehe.

P.s. I am feeling better these days but i am still scared, like really scared and having random emo-ness......
