Happy Holidayssss

Finally it’s holiday!!! A much-anticipated holiday after an 18 week semester, I really felt that it's been really long and draggy....Cant imagine that we have no mid-sem break in the next semester,have to go through the whole 18week again!!!

Anyway, holiday time!!! These 4 weeks are the much-needed respite, as my friends and I will be on a 10 day trip to New Zealand, or should I say it’s a 9 day trip--minus half of today for flying!!! After a tedious planning with NH, now it’s the time to enjoy!!! I have ady gotten all my memory cards for a photography shooting madness. I wonder how many pictures will we take with at least 6 cameras among 10 of us! STOP daydreaming about NZ, I should get ready soon, cook lunch and finish the perishables in the fridge...and do my final packing!!



Hopefully this trip will be a very memorable one provided that
1. Swine flu swine flu GO AWAY!!! (since it’s sooo rampant in Melbourne right now!)

2. Everyone enjoy this trip...if not, maybe next time there won’t be a BIG group trip anymore :)


Everyone!!
For those who are still studying for exams, Good LUCK and All the BEST!!
For those having birthdays from tmr to 24 June (Yi Theng, YiJia, Matthew Gibney, YI CHin, Jenn Wei, Hash, Hui Chai, Zi Xiang/Daryl , Wei Yoke, Tian Xin and Han Yuen)----- Happy Birthday and hope all your dreams come true!!

Michael Wong!! U did it again...love this song so much..

what a day...

It’s Friday, it’s a relief that the weekend was near, every one of us might be thinking of getting an early off.

While I was staying in the hospital around with the Med B team in the morning for the ward round, suddenly a patient of ours had a Med Call as the oxygen Sat was just 50% under RA and unresponsive!!! The patient was a morbidly obese, and the resuscitation was taking quite a big effort especially in getting the iv line into the veins for the ABG, blood testing and also iv infusion of medication. The patient Sat return to 100% with the manual hand mask, what a dramatic recovery!! And the Sat maintained at around 95% under 3L oxygen. The differential diagnosis of the low Sat was probably due to OSA (obstructive sleep apnoea), that caused the obstruction of the airways, and eventually lower the saturation of the oxygen in the blood. In the progress, the ICU doctors were actually around to assist. It’s the first time I witness an ABG procedure done. Yeah, another great learning chance, although it’s not the first Med calls I witnessed, it’s just the first one I got more involved in as I knew the patient as well!

I went out a while to bring my dear gf to see GP for her neck stiffness and pain. Yeah, finally we found a good GP in Dandenong area with the cover of the health insurance!! The GP was so caring and kind, in addition the GP clinic was just 5 min drive away from my house!! Next time I guess I won’t be visiting another GP in Dandenong West, who seems like didn’t know much..LOL…

In the afternoon, due to the business of the team, they’re still having a never-ending ward round. And that’s time I got the opportunity to admit a patient from ED!! It’s so cool, to have the chance to take history and examine the patient in ED! The patient came in with shortness of breath, vomiting, and diarrhoea for a month. The patient had a friend who was originated from Singapore in ED. It’s another great experience for me to understand the procedure of the hospital care, and also the responsibility of the medical team. While I was talking to the nurse about the patient, suddenly I heard the camera shuttle sound! The patient actually took a photo of mine with the friend without my consent and taking it while I didn’t realise!!! ……. I was speechless, should I stop them, or just felt proud that the patient wanted my photo?!?!

What a day…
I really enjoy hospital life :)

你會為我而死嗎？

这是我刚收到的.......



一對年輕情侶…正在瘋狂的熱戀…姑娘痴痴的對另一半說：






男的一聽這句話…臉色大變…




許久無法說出話來…（因為愛…這個代價未免也太大了吧…）



但那男人實在太愛這個姑娘了…

沒有辦法…畢竟…這就是愛…

於是…那男人…就…



挖了挖自己的耳朵…



用力的塞進他女友的嘴裡…



因為男的把：你會為我而死嗎？聽成（你會餵我耳屎嗎？）






不管大家有沒有聽過這個笑話，我真的笑翻了…跟大家分享

Updates!!!

It has been a long semester, and yet i am only going to have my mid-sem aka. Easter break next Friday!1 week long of holiday is good enough for me to have a break and rest before I gear up again for the rest of the year! Clinical life as general is really challenging and yet self-guided needs more motivation.. it's really the reflection of my life now, clinical year in Dandenong Hospital is comprised with tutorials, lectures and definitely ward-rounds, and everything a doctor does in hospital, including in surgeries in Operating Theater,interviewing, examining patients and definitely managing the patients. The day starts very early (7.30 for surgical unit and 8.30 for medical unit), and normally end at 5 pm (depends on tutorial schedule and self motivation :P ) In addition of that, we still have a day of University student life where we have a whole day long (8-6) of lectures and tutorials in MMC and University.


For the coming Easter break, seems like everyone is still exhausted on the current life of clinical year. No rigid plan yet at this time. I guess quite a number of people are having chronic fatigue syndrome now...LOL.. I hope I'll not into that group yet, and I don't want to be included!! :P


Another update!! We are planning to visit and chill up in NZ for winter holiday! hopefully it'll be a memorable trip and it'll be our first step into New Zealand!! so excited...:)


Regarding the last post on the blog, I actually just quoted the article I read from the newspaper. I feel that it's really meaningful, thus I posted that up. Dont panic and worry when u read about it, it's not my story. :)
