Life as a Medical Practitioner - Day 1

For all of us who apply for medicine course under JPA and get offered, we are compulsory to attend Program Pendedahan Kerjaya Seorang Doktor in a hospital we chosen in the online application form. Well, i chose Hospital Kajang, which is located just behind my secondary school. It is a good opportunity for us to attend this program to know more about the real life of a doctor, which is not glamorous as most people would think it is. We also get the chance to walk around the various departments in hospital, where as a patient or a visitor does not have the chance to enter. Yup, i entered the RESTRICTED section. (haha)

We arrived there at 8 a.m. this morning and gathered in the meeting room in the hospital management office. There were only 8 of us. After an hour of waiting, we started the orientation by the head of emergency department, Dr. Rohaniah as the director of hospital was away to attend some medical course. She briefly introduced the hospital and mentioned a doctor's responsibilities. What gave us a surprise is the sudden arrive of a group of 40 JPA scholars which will be sent to study medicine course in Egypt soon. Hospital Kajang is very old, its 113 years old today. And still, it is the third busiest hospital in Selangor, behind Klang and Selayang. We also being informed that, to really expose the life of a doctor to us, we also get the chance to experience the "on-call" duty tomorrow!

After lunch and all had been settled, we were divided into groups of 6 people to visit the wards, labs and departments in the hospital. Our group first destination is to the paediatrics ward. The head of nurse in the ward act as our guide, she explained the routine of the doctors to us and led us around to see the place. There are isolation rooms which saperate the children with chickenpox, meascles and diarrhea. We then headed on to the specialist clinics of pediatrics, obstetrician & gynaecologist, cardiac and physiology. In the cardiology clinic, we saw the Echo scan machine and the image it produced when the doctor was examining the patients heart contractions. It is similar to ultrasound on pregnant women.

We were supposed to visit the forensic department and observe the post mortem examination today but it was postponed to tomorrow. It is closed today. So we continued our visit to the pathology lab. It is the most interesting visit today! Blood and urine specimens are sent here to be checked and it is also the blood bank of the hospital. There are many sub-departments in this lab. Microbiology lab where we can see agar plates (this is the first time i see it with my eyes! it jumps out from the text book!) Urine were examined in the urinalysis lab. There are also biochemistry lab and histopathology lab. We cannot enter the AFB lab as infectious disease, TB is diagnosed here.

Then, we visited the busiest pharmacy department where drugs are kept. The pharmacist pack the medicine and keep them systematically. They have their own little "factory" room that they produce the creams themselves.

Lastly, we entered A&E department with a nurse. It is divided into red, yellow and green zone. Red zone is for critical or severe injuries.

Thats all for today.

Handmade Cards Selling Event for Charity in TCSJ

This is the first event i organise in Taylor's College Subang Jaya and it is also the last one. I'll be leaving this college soon, so this event is memorable and valueble to me. I want to organise this event to raise fund for charity under Leo Club of TCSJ. The profit earned will all be given to drug rehabilitation centre and home for disabled. When i first heard of the teacher's suggestion of event involving selling cards, i was very interested with her idea, and voluntarily took this event because i enjoy making cards so much. So this is how it is started.

With the support of another Kelly ( which form a Kelly "square" team ourselves), Kelly Lee, we got this event and made ourselves the organizing chairpersons. Before selling the cards, we have to write a proposal regarding the event and sent to the Student Development Center to get approval first. In the proposal, we have to give an estimated profit for the event. And i said: "RM500". Some would think that its quite a large sum, and unreachable by only selling cards but because of this, Kellys' team swore to meet the target to show everyone that we can do it!

Our teacher adviser, who also suggested this event, supplied over 100 handmade cards, made by her relative from Australia for the sales. It is sort of like a donation in the form of cards for the event as there are no expenses for it. She also provided her coloured papers for me to make cards for the sales. At first it was quite slow, i only managed to make about 2 or 3 cards in 5 hours. Later on, with lots of practice, 3 hours 10 cards.

We sold the cards personally to the students through distribution to Leo members throughout April and May. To speed up the sales, we booked a booth beside the front gate of TC. On 11th to 13th of May 2011, with all the posters, cards and preparations ready, we set up the booth and promoted the cards to the students who visit the booth. I was trilled by the good response. In such a short period, we managed to earn about RM300.

In these one and a half months, we earned around RM 600 for charity (we reached our target! ). Although some may think it is a small amount but for all of us who put our effort in the event, we are proud of it. (p/s: I break my record, i've made 71 cards or More?)

Thanks to Kelly, Sidhesh, Sonia and other Leo members that helped. I will remember our great time promoting and selling cards together. ( hi, do you want to buy some cards? one for RM3.50, three for RM10, these are RM5 each)

大提琴

钢琴初级，才刚开始学难些的曲子就懒了，吵要买吉他。吉他买了，却好像大多时侯是我在动它。唉。。。是不是男生天生就有喜新厌旧的天分？我以为弟弟的第二乐器会和我一样是小提琴因为我还有一架更小的小提琴，谁知。。。他居然学起我超羡慕的大提琴来？（有点不爽）

为此，买了一个大提琴（对我来说算小只的），就开始学奏了。而我，唯有在旁偷师，于是（奸笑）他学了什么，我就学会什么。怎可以败给他呢？呵

其实弟弟学大提琴是妈妈的主意。他说：“弟弟年纪轻轻，身形小小，学大大的大提琴很Q 哦！”（傻眼） （那就是说我学就不可爱啦，明白= = ）

不专心的时候~





错误的示范，不要乱来啦！



如果不爱它，就请不要养它！

这不是一两天的事了，之前他们怎么对它都好，
只是，总要有个限制吧？

我隔壁家养两只狗，都是rockweiler。
一只年纪比较大，用铁链绑在铁门，任由它饱受日晒雨淋。
另一只则困在笼子里，大小解都在笼内解决，我从未见它被放出来。

他们给狗们吃的也够刻薄。

狗吃的，是他们家吃剩的咖喱加饭！

他家有四五个小男孩，成天把大狗当马骑。 他们重重地压在它身上，看了都心疼。
小孩这样也就算了，可是听爸说，他们已成人地大哥，无聊时也这样逗它玩！
问题是，他哥多少公斤呀？ 依我看，至少80 吧？可能上90 了！
这样做还不算虐畜？
可恨没证据，不然早就被告上去了！


这倒还好，最近大狗脚上有伤，他们爸为了不要让“细菌滋生”，
不带它去兽医，居然在它伤上加杀虫剂！！！
虽然我们家没人亲眼看见，当时只闻到作呕的杀虫剂味，以为是杀虫用的。
可我们看到大狗时，它把脚提起，脚上有白白的杀虫剂，还滴着呢！
天啊！世上居然有这种人！
伤会痛不说，杀虫剂有毒呀！狗儿一定会舔呀！
那不就毒死它了吗！

最近听对面的阿姨们说，他们那群顽劣的小孩，
无聊时用铁钩钩在野狗的身上，而且不止一只！
日子久了，伤口溃烂，越来越大，有几只因此而死。

这些残忍又没丝毫爱心的人，为什么要学人养狗呢？
既然养了，就不要那样对它！
任它在外自生自灭，也比被他们养来得好！

昨天看大狗，瘦得只见骨了，成天躺在地上，
欲哭无泪。我不养它，看了也心酸。
可恨它有这样的主人。可悲。
