ortho

malas glr rasa mok update blog.

anyways, I'm in ortho now, dealing with fractures, pus and wounds.

the workload's quite light, coz there's only 1 ward and there are like 7 HOs, unlike when I was in Mat 1, alone and having like 30 patients in the ward.

but currently, I still have loaaads to learn, I'm still quite blank. boo hoo

ObGyn - Mukah - Ortho

just got back from a 6-day-break from the hospital life. I went back home~ (but now I'm back again in Miri, so I'm totally sulking =.=)

anyways, end of O&G posting as a houseman in Miri Hospital! can't believe I survived the infamous supposedly worst posting ever...lol. anyways, recalling my times in O&G, it wasn't really that bad (it kinda is, actually :P), I hated the bad CTGs, and all the scary moments during our calls. I hated the every 2 days oncalls, I hated the fact that people wouldn't stop being pregnant or giving births, I hated the blood, liquor and all those stuff. but, along the way, I learnt, I'm always scared of things that I don't know. therefore, I hate being scared and not knowing what to do. so, all those negative feelings came from my own ignorance. soooo.... after a while, I learnt to manage things better and all that, then, I started to accept and sometimes enjoy the challenge.

and the experience with my colleagues...priceless. some gave me headaches, heartaches and killing intentions, but those experience help me build a better me. I learnt to know and manage everything by myself (because I couldn't trust some people), so its kinda fun going solo for a little while. but most of the time, I enjoyed the time working with my other colleagues, I didn't feel like doing a job. Its really fun~!

anyways, then I took my break, and went back to Mukah. its nice to be around my family after such a long stressful posting. and my niece, Aya, is such a cutie, even though most of the times she's really naughty and running around and all that. *sigh* I'm missing them already!



oh, news flash, mukah has its first traffic lights! XD
 so yeah, despite the lack of shopping places (which are my energy source, lol), sometimes I enjoy the peace and quietness of Mukah. and I really love being with my family, yes, I'm such a mommy's girl :P

so yeah, tomorrow's I'm gonna start tagging at Orthopaedics posting. I hate changes, I hate the need to adapt to a new surrounding and stuff, but yeah, I'm feeling quite excited to see new stuff and all. I'm having all the mixed feelings, so yeah, I hope this week will be a-okay.

the first time I cut somebody

anyways, yesterday, I did my first Caesarean section. its a procedure housemen are encouraged to do while they're in ObGyn posting here in Miri Hospital. and of course, I wouldn't want to miss such a huge opportunities as such!


so yeah, yesterday I got my chance, so I did it under supervision of my MO. standing at the surgeon's side of the table, I kinda feel like a star, like the surgery is my first ever performance. I was sooo nervous before the op, and couldnt help thinking of the worst possible things. I know it sounds reaaaally dramatic, but yeah, its my first surgery, so its kinda a big deal for me :P

so yeah, I did it in like 55 minutes, with estimated blood loss of 400cc, which is pretty good for a first timer. and really, much thanks to my MO, Dr. Nazihah, who's really helpful in supervising me.

God, I'm sooo thankful to be given the chance to top-up my knowledge and experience. I so love myself right now. lol

I'm soooo drained!

god, I'm sooo freaking tired. I've been having oncalls for every 2 days since forever. Like, I literally lives in the hospital, I practically had to buy a large size shower gel to last for a month. I had nightmares hearing CTGs and all. though, post calls gave me the vampire look, i could beat edward cullen for the dark eyes and the supposedly cool frown :P

anyways, its just REAALLY unbelievable that I'm going to finish O&G posting (I hope so, my specialist keep on postponing the assessment and its been driving me crazy!)

so yeah, I hope against all hope I'll pass the assessment! well, now I'll have to think about preparing a farewell party and speech~! :P
