Lesson of the day

Examine your patient every time you do your rounds. Especially if the patient is acutely ill. They may deteriorate at any moment, and a good repeated physical examination is the only way to catch it early.

Just for laughs

Another old video for those who appreciate British Comedy. Eggs-Box 3.60? haha

Another Step Closer

Five weeks of Surgery Posting in Semester 10 is over and we are one step closer to graduation. We have completed 92.5% of our MBBS. 7.5% more to go. Almost there. It's so close, I can almost grasp it already.

It's amazing how quickly we have (almost) passed through medical school. Five years has passed. I went back to the Bukit Jalil campus on Friday, and it felt like it has been ages since we were last there. Two years in Seremban has changed us so much. We grew, we matured, we became doctors. It is funny to think how our mindset and goals were when we were back in Phase 1. The way we placed emphasis on all the wrong things, the way I played too much and studied too little. There is a saying, "Don't teach a person who is not ready. When he is ready, he will learn even when no one wants to teach him" which I think is very true.

20 more weeks to go. Let's make the most out of it.

I Phone 4S

The new iPhone 4 has been released. As predicted, it is called the iPhone 4S. It looks like an iPhone 4, but has faster processors, better camera and etc. I think the coolest new feature is the what they call Siri. It allows you to give voice commands to your phone and it will interact with you as if it was artificial intelligence. The promotional video looks impressive. You can ask about the weather, traffic, send text messages all just by speaking to your iPhone. If this works out as smooth as the video, the new iPhone will surely sell like hot cakes. I WANT AN IPHONE!!!! hahaha

The Passing of Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs have changed our lives in more ways than we know. Iphones, Ipods, Ipads, Mac Books. It seems everyone is carrying at least one of his creations these days. Let's all celebrate the life that he has lived. The changes that he has brought to our lives. They way we live, communicate and work will never be the same again.

The past, present and future of surgery

For those who love surgery. The evolution of surgery from the stone age, the era of the barber surgeon, surgery in the present day and the future.

A video worth watching

My lecturer shared this video with us. This is a good video highlighting many important but forgotten point. The doctor's touch, caring for our patients and examining our patients. That's what being a doctor is about. It is not about technologies, computer screens, radiology films or laboratory results. Enjoy and Reflect.
