5 Year for One Day of Exam

We have been anticipating this exam for so long, finally the 5 year has come to an end for another new journey to begin with...

Preparing for this final exam isn't easy at all as any case could have come out for the long case and the one and only one case determine our pass or fail. Portfolio discussion also need to be go through again a few times to make sure we do not do any gross mistake or miss and important stuff...

Furthermore, the exam is after the chinese new year which makes everything tougher. I have expected not to study much stuff at home during the chinese new year period. What to be blamed? myself of course, there were just too many temptations at home. The TV, the nice environment to sleep and rest..everything is just so against studying.

Two days before the exam, i moved down to PJ area in my uncle house for preparation of the exam and also for the study group..ANd, luckily that was what happened orelse i might just screwed up in the exam..at least i can finish 1 round of study.. Though throughout this few days my bowel weren't helping out me, i was still fine except that i need to go to the toilet several times a day for my IBS. Even when i was staying in the hotel which cost me rm110 for a night, it never left me. Thought it has leaved me but i was proved wrong..haha

Exam day was the most stressful time for all of us, i was scheduled in the afternoon session for the exam.. was in so much of hoping that i wouldn't get a "combo" case which usually has 4-5 diagnoses and makes the history everywhere...

Anyway, i got a patient with liver cirrhosis and UGIB for that day. Prof Y and Dr C from BP were two of my examiner whereelse i got Dato J and Prof N for my portfolio discussion. Both the session went quite smoothly except a few lagging as i was wondering what they were trying to ask me..

Around 4pm, it finally come to the end..what a relief everytime we come out from the exam room..i can see different faces of either confused, happy and partially sad coming out from the rooms. ANyway, 5 year of study for 1 day of exam; that's what we have for the day..

Exam coming !!!!

20, 19, 18, 17, 16... it's gonna be just another 13 days before the arrival of the final exam..time just flies without anyone knowing it.. and still, i am sitting here not reading much of what i should have been reading..

another chinese new year (2010 tiger year) is coming soon and my final exam will be just less than 1 week after the chinese new year. I dun think i am gonna be reading much prior or after CNY but hope that i manage to read most of the major topic..lets hope so..

New element in Life

Tomorrow is going to be another big day of my life... it's probably gonna more or less going to determine where i would start of my carrier as a qualified doctor here..

It's interview day!!! we need to wear blazer with formal wear. Basically, you can just bring the smartest out of you..that's the most important part. I was worried earlier where am i gonna get a coat for tommorow's interview...Anyway, luckily i managed to borrow from friend and that's also because his interview is going to be the next day after me..

I will be the fifth to start tomorrow, it will probably gonna be something like final exam..going into the exam hall anxiously..

Anyway..let's see how it goes...

Hiking Trip

O & G Posting

O & G Posting in Batu Pahat has been a fruitful period for all of us who come here, We are required to conduct 5 deliveries from 0 experience and 2 episiotomy. Of course, all these can be achieved "fighting" with the student nurses and the community nurses.

The first 2 weeks has been a busy period as all the portfolio (reports x 2) which are long winded and telling grandma story need to be submitted by dateline. Operation Theatre quota also need to be fulfilled as we are required to scrub in for OT with 2 cases of Obstetric cases and 2 cases of gynaecological cases. It will be easier to scrub in for LSCS and Bilateral Tubal Ligation (BTL)as it is counted as 1 obstetric and 1 gynaecological procedure. On top of all that, there is possibility of getting detention class over the weekend if the ward jobs were not covered well.

After the first 2 weeks, everyone become less tense and starting to play slow as almost all of them would have fulfilled their quota. For me, i already signed 5 of my deliveries in the first week and signed another 3 of them for assisting deliveries on the second week. Planning to do more this week for the detention and weekend call. For OT procedure, i also managed to signed all my cases of 4 in the OT week. Somehow life just gets easier on me for this week.

Long Forgotten..

In the past, i used to

1) indulged in nice songs/music sometime even until the next morning without sleeping. it purified my soul and emotion..but i no longer

2) enjoy reading books ,plenty of thick books, fiction stories..found so many of excitement there inside the cover itself..now? hardly finish a chapter...

3) involve myself in martial art, looks so high upon what i might achieve with what my potential will be..until i realised the other way around..

4)work very hard just to prove that i am really on the right track of taking up medicine. Almost anything come up as common sense. but it no longer appear to be the truth

5) so confidence that i can remember even i have just read once on certain topic and be able to recollect whatever necessary, but it seems impossible now..


What has happened to me? i wonder...
