Cinta Medik...totally stupid! (and this is an UNDERstatement!)

so yeah, about a week ago, my friends and i started to watch this TV series. its supposedly a story about the life of the medical students and stuff.

but really! IT PISSED ME OFF!!!!! >.<>.<

then, the second season, they've became interns. and not surprisingly, they acted like they've NEVER seen labcoats and stethoscopes before? like O-M-G! how stupid is that??

and dyslexic medical student! omg like, they didnt detect it earlier when he's a kid? how can he survive school and stuff? and dont act like you're short sighted! dyslexic CAN see!

and Bell's palsy!!! i just saw this epi just now, and it really pissed me off. its like them DOCTORS dunno what that is?? O-M-G! and the explanation by a senior was, the body is distorted, the face is distorted, the eyes cant blink, the nose is blocked and the mouth cant chew. O-M-G, wth is that?? its a 7th cranial nerve palsy you idiot, it doesnt involve the body! and i dont recall my doctors saying the patient's nose will be blocked and they wont be able to chew food. like its just half of the face, they wont probably be able to chew normally, but they can manage. I have clerked a patient with Bell's palsy before, all the signs are there, she can eat and talk even though its hard.

and O-M-G, the doctor who examined the Bell's palsy case, like just tap around the mouth asking if its tender. O-M-G! I have never acknowledged such examination skill! where is the cranial nerve examination???!!

and the way the doctor talked to the patient, thats just SOOOO unacceptable. he was sarcastic, so not consoling and he yelled at the patient. like omg, what in the world is that? if i was the patient, the doctor would receive a lawsuit when he wakes up the next morning. sheesh!

i really hate that drama. its really shocking to me that no one complained about it that they manage to go to the second season. OMG! the drama is really disgusting, a disgrace! to the medical society! i wonder why the producers or whoever responsible didnt consult a doctor before making such drama. medical stuff is not the stupid love story they always produce. its a fact thus HAVE to remain precise and correct. and please!! no medical students ever like that drama.

and one of the character (who also acted like a dr, supposedly having a special talent so-called "photogenic memory". its photographic memory, bakayaro! please use google before saying anything you dont know :P

im sure i can find a lot more things to criticize, and i've never been SO mad and disgusted at any drama series or anything like this one. I'm so sorry for the harsh language, but its just that I cant stand to watch the stupidity anymore.

i think the drama should be banned for fraudulence!

yaho~ splinting!

that's one of the finger splints that I've made myself during the session with the Occupational Therapy section. It was fun to mold the splints and the occupational therapist was VERY helpful! She was willing to spend some of her time to teach us young innocent medical students. and I made like, 4 splints for myself, and 3 for my fellow colleagues. Here are the ways to make a splint.

1. cut the splint piece just enough for the part you want to splint
2. drop it in the water bath (usually around 60-80 C), and wait for it to be more transparent (the hard one is like, white in color usually or other solid colors).
3. pick it up with a spatula, then shape it on the part (hand, arm or finger) then mold it according to the shape of the part. make sure the concept of preventing contracture and permanent flexion/extension is achieved)
4. when its a bit hard, remove it and run it under running water.
5. for cosmetic value, soak the edges in hot water and rub the edges till they go blunt, and that way the splint will look better
6. put on velcro straps, and splint away~!

I've made other colors:
purple:
blue:
and this little special one, is for mallet fingers:

I'm starting to LOVE orthopedics~ yay~!

Narnia candies :D

yaho~! introducing the Narnia candies aka Turkish Delights~
the recipe is quite simple : Turkish Delight recipe

I made it twice though. coz the first one had too much sugar, and its SO sickeningly sweet!
and the second one was SO much better!

I might like this candy, but I dont think I'd eat it on daily basis. Maybe just in certain occasions.

Its a nice try though, another new cooking experience for me~ ^.^

ping pong~

i was acquaintained to this game yesterday and i found it interesting since. its ping pong, aka table tennis. its just like badminton which i love, but as a beginner, this game is kinda hard for me. it seems to me as a demure and soft kinda game, where not so much power is used to hit the ball, unlike badminton. and there's not so much running or jumping. its just running side by side mainly. nevertheless, its really fun, and i supposed it is tiring for pros, like the guys who always play pingpong and has helped to coach us, they hit the ball so fast and there were smashes and whatever actions there is.

and we played like.... the beginner of beginners. its so funny when we hit the ball too hard, so it bounced so high and far away. however, amy and I had made some progress today, where we played longer than yesterday (without the ball flying off pass us).

its fun, i love this game!

oh, and i had the scratches on my car re-painted today. its looking better now. so after some sports and the good little changes, im feeling better too~

My melancholic thoughts...

hi~ Liyana desu~
as my title said, I dunno why, maybe it was the exam just now, maybe I've over exerted myself over badminton, maybe I was sleep deprived...

maybe its the world circling around me...

thus, gloom washes over me. I resent everyone around me. I resent their acts, their words, almost everything.

I was just sitting alone..I think somebody did/said something inappropriate, when the thoughts downed on me about the people around me.

Ignorance is bliss? Deceive is to protect people?

That is what most of people around me do. Not everyone, just I've experienced loads of this bullshit in my life. even people who claims to be my friends. I reaaaally HATE it. when they concealed the truth, honest stuff just so someone wont get hurt, just so their reputation is not ruined. they dont express their opinions because they're afraid to be laughed at, or to get mad at.
and some stupid people act like they know everything and disrespect others' opinions. leading to unexpressed opinions, them pretending they agree on something they're not, then misunderstanding comes, thus leading to unnecessary fights/argument.

so this is so much a lose-lose situation.

and i hate it when everyone being someone they're not. I hate it when people do stupid stuff just to look cool, or laugh at unfunny jokes just to "fit in" the cool group. HELLO~ this is NOT high school!!!!

and i hate it when people pretend to be all good, rainbowish, butterflyish, flowerish, angelish, sunshineish, fluffy clouds on the blue skyish happy ALL THE TIME. they dont express their feeling when they're mad or upset (unlike me, thus many people said i'm intimidating :P). god, i've even been labeled as "BAD" because i said something that i was not happy with!! (where is the democracy or whatever the heck it is in this small world of mine??!) its like i can just have some fun time with my friends, but i cant tell them my problems coz they wont understand coz they have perfect family and perfect life, so an imperfect life of someone like me, they'd just look puzzled and surprised as if its the weirdest thing in the world that someone would face such problems and start saying inappropriate things which really would make me more depressed than before telling them. then it'd end up with my problems not fixed and i'd be feeling worse than ever. so i've stopped telling them anything thats wrong with me.

I feel like I'm gonna blow off with anger, but my energy is too much drained, so the sadness of why I was being born/being placed in this place drowned me. maybe other parts of malaysia, its different. but i dunno why... were we brought up to be so inexpressive/introvert/to conceal all bad stuff/to pretend everything's ok when they're not? why is it hard for those people to accept other's opinions, or opinions that contradict theirs? why is it they think there is all sunshineish happyish when someone can be unhappy? why cant they understand that they are being immature and idiotic? WHY??

the only time i can be completely free with other people is when im with certain members of my family and a friend or two. thats why its so depressing, coz everyone of them is so far away and when i feel like talking with someone about something unspeakable to people here, i'll just sit and think of whom I can talk with, but in the end, feeling lost, lonely, angry and sad. baka janai??!

now that i myself feel better after expressing all this...i wonder how am i gonna face those people without thinking how ignorant they are?

am i being too emotional? am i the one who's wrong here coz i dont understand them? am i the one who's afraid to open up to people? i wanna know how the world is on their perspective, but i dont think i can grasp how narrow they think. i dont think i can change this damaged world around me, and i hope i wont be like them. i just dont wanna turn into one of them!

yup, that is all of my unspeakable melancholic thoughts~
