medical student syndrome

Feeling fresh after taking shower for about 20 minutes, put on necessary things on my face and lotion on my hands (feeling cerita korea). So, I'm ready to start my new post since I didn't post anything for about a month. 

I remember when I still a first year meds student (budak hingusan and selekeh), one of my lecturer told us that some students definitely have a medical student syndrome which is unconsciously having paranoid about themselves. For example, they feel like they got GERD with all the burning sensation and other related symptoms that they experienced. But the amazing thing about it is all the symptoms gone after the posting finish.

And....

I think I have that syndrome for almost all the posting throughout my clinical years. Let's start with first posting which is internal medicine. Actually my first posting should be community medicine but I didn't want to admit it. So back to the story. I got fever and cough. I really thought I got Tuberculosis because I cough for about more than 4 weeks but I don't have haemoptysis (coughing with blood), night sweats, LOA and LOW. Alhamdulillah but still I went for chest X-ray after that and it came out normal. 

Second posting was surgery and I got burning sensation at night. I thought I had GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). It was possible for me to get this symptom because I don't know why my favourite food at that time was bihun goreng tomyam. I ate it a lot and almost everyday for my dinner (konon nak kurus jugak la sebab malam tak nak makan nasi). So maybe the food was spicy and I ate it during dinner and then 3-4 hours after that I went to sleep. So the GERD really disturbed my sleep.

Another posting was OnG. I skipped my period for one month. But this posting was so stressful and I got 'stressful' and 'scary' supervisor for my case write up and unfortunately my end of posting examination which I failed. But Alhamduillah the overall result was not bad. I'm not kidding I pray a lot to Allah and crying almost every night (okay yang no 2 tipu haha). All my friends made a joke eii Jannah ada amenorrhea. They were just joking because amenorrhea is absent of period for 3 months at least. 

And..

Latest posting is orthopaedic. I don't know why I got backache almost everynight. I already overthink of some diagnosis like PID ( prolapsed intervertebral disease), scoliosis, inflammatory disease, tumour and bla bla. I hope not nauzubillah. Backache please go after this posting finish. Give my life back please so that I can sleep well.

bawal or shawl?

I personally don't have specific tudung which I love the most. As long as i'm comfortable, I'll go with it. Bawal or shawl? The pros and cons. For me, bawal scarf always win in all aspect. Orang melayu kata tak luntur ditelan zaman. (cewahhh tapi BM Iols masa SPM tak dapat A+ pun). I still have tudung bawal with the manik and sulam one. It's so expensive and sayang nak buang and it contains classic elements too which I like to keep it and let the other generation know the trend in our tradition. I often wear it because it's so jarang and pendek. For now, I really love aidijuma bawal scarf design. I really adore datin norjuma and that's why I started buying the first batch of aidijuma punya collection masa tu. Kebetulan aidijuma memang dekat je dengan rumah. Kalau dulu aidijuma boleh kata agak mahal sebab semuanya range harga RM 30-RM 60 for black label. And then dorang start keluarkan different label and different prices. Ada green label, blue label and whit

end of holy month

my last post was last year on November. Oh my gosh not updating this blog for a very longggg period. Basically nothing special to tell or discuss here. As a summary, I had been working as clinic assistant for 5 months and a lot of drama happen and I learnt many things along the way. For you fresh graduates, I advised all of you to get experience by finding a part time job. Trust me it will change the way you think and decision making. It trained you to be more patience. I was a doctor btw waiting for housemanship Alhamdulillah but try to imagine when you worked as clinic assistant in private clinic, most people came there treated you like you were someone who don't have future. most of them think that I only studied till SPM LOL. Yup they are not wrong since there's no DR words written on my forehead. This is all a test that Allah gave me to test my ego, my sincerity, my humbleness, my kindness and not to be so proud with my achievement because this is all the beginning. We a

Kalau korang duduk Cyber tau la perasaan susahnya nak dapat makanan melayu yang sedap...Macam biasa aku seorang yang memang suka makanan melayu a.k.a lidah melayu...Kat sini memang susah nak cari kuih untuk saja2 makan untuk minum petang..Sampai la satu hari aku and Al try explore area Puchong.... Puchong n Cyberjaya tak la jauh mana tapi sebab aku ada sikit fobia nak lalu jalan ni..Sebab tu jarang pegi area sini..Tapi sebab makanan punye pasal kitorang sanggup..Tambah lagi kedai kat Cyber yang kitorang selalu pegi tu tutup sebab raya haji..Kitorang dalam sehari tak boleh kalau tak masuk nasi.. Finally kitorang jumpe kedai ni..Kuih and makanan dia semua sedap and murah compare dengan Cyber la..So selagi tak jemu maybe seiap hari kitorang pegi sini..So disebabkan ni jugak la fobia aku kat jalan yang tak elok kat Puchong tu berkurang.. hehe
