Scabies Infestation

Scabies can be something non-harmful but rather troublesome and disturbing. It is a form of mite infestation whereby it usually transmits via human contact ( sexual or close contact ). Scabies are documented to live from 48 to 72 hrs of which they may die on themselves if there was no human contact. However, if one infested then they can live upto 2 months and cause severe pruritus which may be difficult to diagnose especially when they can only be visualised via a microscope rather than naked eyes. Treatments are usually rather simple either via Local Application of Permethrin 5% cream as first line or Lindane Lotion 1 % ( risk of seizure)

It's been a long time

I guess it's been a long time since i post in this blog ever since few years back... i supposed it's time to re-post here again as everyone needs and will move on...

Where should i be in the future..?

Noww....thinking about the future..am still very unsure of my future.. a part of me really wanting to stay in psychiatry but then another part of me was unsure of the future that psychiatry can offer me in term of financial status and chance to further overseas... Am really confused now.. should i take the less traveled road or should i take the commonly traveled road (MRCP)?

Long Distance Love (LDL)

"Distance is just a test to see how far love can travel."


Found these few quotes while i was searching for some answers in my life.. didn't really thought about it deeply until recently until i was reminded again that i am having a LDR.

Every words of the article sank through my heart, how true it is.. How i am out of control for this relationship.. and how helpless i am for not being able to be with her side by side when she needed me the most... How i wish we could be together all days long...But all these are just wishes that probably will never comes true again...

Perhaps the relationship are just too much for her that i am demanding too much.. Perhaps this is the love where it requires full commitment from both sides and we have never agreed for any from the day we have started as we were so unsure of the future...

There are just too much in this reality to catch on, work, career, financial status, future and all the other never ending concern.. But, in the end, what do we want our life to be in the future? I used to likes challenges in life but as years goes by, i have become a more "calm" person and just wanting to lead a normal life.. I have been chasing my dreams here and there but finally end up losing myself and the normal life i wanted..

I don't really know what mousie is trying to pursue for her future.. and i don't know what she want for our future.. saddest part, i couldn't provide a future that she can visualise after half of decades of us being together.. How sad...

2010 Christmas

Hmm..not sure where was i during the last christmas dy... But probably i was in Batu Pahat?

Anyway, this year; am only planning to stay home and having a peaceful christmas Night as it's really been a long time that i didnt have a long break after entering Paediatric Posting IN HSJ.

Looking Back for the Past 7 mth, it's been eventfu. I am a Dr now and i was amazed at how much i have grown and changed since the last 4 month. Of course i am more competent now as compared to last time.. But, all this hectic works and life make everything passed too fast that i hardly find any joy and fun in it...

Day 2 of clinic life

Clinic life is as much fun as i can imagine. Good ventilation, less workload and best of all you usually don't need to think of the new management.

Ward work as in comparison, is much more heavy and hectic. Everything from head to toe needs to be managed yourself without much guidance; just based on what you might have studied before.

Today was a second day of clinic life of mine which was rather interesting as i seen quite some patient and most of them actually appreciate what have been done to them. Anyway, i think i need to start learning to just ask whatever necessary rather than confirming about everything with the MO and not depending too much of on those HO which might not know more than me...

It's better to sit with specialist as guidance will be provided and probably more updated info can be acquired indirectly...Have to make a smarter choice next time.

Yet Another New Stage of Life..

Before i realize about it, it's almost time to go for induction and entering into a new plateform of life- the working life.

The working life is going to deprive me of plenty of pleasure in life but i hope at the same time i will be able to enjoy it at the same time so that the 2 years of suffering is better tolerated.

Should start thinking of what my future plan is; choosing field for specialisation. Psychiatry? Medicine? What field in medicine? Surgery? Neurosurgery?

I know i am very much attracted to the mystery of mind but i am totally not sure of the prospect of psychiatry but at the same time i realised i wouldn't be able to treat the patients with psychiatric issue fully without the help of medications. On the other hand, i am disappointed by the treatments given by the psychiatrist. Most of them prescribe medicine-only treatment. Is this the way of life i wanted?

TCM- Traditional Chinese Medicine? well, i am really interested in getting to know about it. But where and how? I might not have time for it. By the time i finished my housemanship? would be too late probably as the whole course will take another 5 years of study...

And, i am yet to finish with my study of hypnotherapy. This is probably going to take a few more years.. Another CBT-cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy practitioner diploma to be taken before i can proceed to the Master programme. That is also not that guaranteed. Probably will have to take the bridging programme as the course i am studying is not accreditated by the overseas university at the moment.


Where to go???
