Arrghh.....so many things happened over the past week, but I was so lazy to blog :p
1. Watched 2 movies- Slumdog Millionaire(better be good as it won 8 Academy Awards) and Angels and Demons (which was great)
2. Had my first Mini CEX, which fortunately for me was held by my Internal Med tutor who is one of the nicest Internal Med lecturers you can find. But....he held my Mini CEX in front of all my groupmates. So they were all there to witness my humilitation! :p Just kidding. I was actually grateful they were there to support me through my Mini CEX. :) History taking was fine for me, I need to improve on my physical examination techniques though.
3. Had a scary Case Presentation on Wednesday. The lecturer was harsh to all of us who presented that day, but particularly harsh to the first presenter. He was a bit harsh to me to when I presented, but that's ok. Not so bad. Finally at the end of the CP, he said he was strict on us because he wants us to be perfect.
4. Clerked some patients with sad stories. E.g., one patient who has 7 children, but lives in a welfare home. He claimed that all his illness started ever since he started living there one year ago. Another patient, whose whole life turned upside down ever since his wife died many years ago. He never fully recovered from the loss.
5. The health scare! One patient here in HTJ died of Meningitis last week. Some students who were in contact with the patient, senior batches I think, were given prophylaxis. My housemates said they clerked one meningitis patient on Wednesday, don't know whether it was the same patient. Please let it not be!
And of course, the H1N1 influenza virus has finally reached Malaysia. Oh joy. A student took a flight back to Penang from USA recently. Welcome to Malaysia.
It's only a matter of time before the virus reaches Seremban and we all will be wearing masks in the hospital. *shudders*
