Was so tensed up facing piles of notes that doesn't make sense (especially Dr.R_S_i_a's pharmacology notes, with so many toxicity that at one point I thought I was a pharmacy students), felt like giving up studying about anatomy, especially the muscle part, i mean do we really need so many muscle's just to bent our hand??? Ya, we do. Well, after knowing each of the muscle's function, I really kind of appreciate God's Creation. So magnificent... Every part of our body, up to the cellular, molecular, genetic level, it was all so well Designed. I never ever regret studying and understanding what I had first thought was useless. How stupid was I. Haha....
Well, I get through exams yesterday. Was so relieved...and now nervous and excited for the result tomorrow. Really hope and pray that all of us will past the exam and step to 3rd year as clinical student together!!! None left behind. After tomorrow, if I safely past, all I had to worry about is my research. Haiz...research, until now, I still don't get the purpose of having to carry out research. I mean research??? Isn't it only involves professors with white hair like Einstein, real doctors that found cure for some cancer, or some Nobel prize winner that trying to change the world with some humanity effort....i mean they are those people that actually know the purpose and goal of dong it?? Isn't it?? So why is a second year medical student who had just went through 1 month or so of lectures and tutorials about epidemiology, statistic study, public health supposed to absorb everything the lecturers from research department expect us to absorb??? I seriously don't think even 50% of us get the idea of having to get though this package in our study as a medical student. Rite my dear course-mates??
Didn't they know we already enough stuff to study...I mean, people children this generation got so much to study that they don't care ho many they have to study just for the fame of being the best student.. Form 5 student taking 16 subjects, aiming straight A's. Now, here we are going through the same thing here. Force to take package that we don't think is useful, I mean if we want to be some famous researcher later in life, we surely will study about what ever statistic and epidemiology la. I'm very very pretty sure those lectures in research department or Jabatan Sain Kesihatan Facukuti perubatan dan sain kesihatan now never learnt about whatever we learned when they were 2o years old. I'm sure they study about it later in their life. So, why can't they leave us alone and let us pour more time and focus on our diseases, drugs, anatomy, physiology that is more important for our life as medical student later and perhaps a useful doctor in 3 years time??
Here's a true story to share, though it's a sad one, we should learn something from this sad happening...especially those doctor-to be. Here goes.
A doctor with a brain won't just discharge a patient with a known cardiac failure for three years due to heart block(coronary atheroma) which later will develop edema peripherally and pulmonary edema rite? I f they really are doctors, they should have prescribe that patient with diuretics rite? Some more that patient was scheduled for by-pass surgery three weeks ago, suddenly decided not to go for it because that patient had developed edema. How irony that they discharge him with no medication and expect the edema would just disappear like that. Those doctors should have done something rite?? But why didn't they do anything??? All they give was Aspirin???!!!! I mean wtf is aspirin suppose to help this patient??? It's just does't make sense to me...perhaps someone who happens to know that some mechanism of action Aspirin to relieve edema, please tell me. I really love to know if there's something I miss when going through Dr.Win Maw or Dr.Aye Aye Toe's lectures. Seriously disappointed on how the doctors handle this case. Just so you know, the patient passed away 4 days after being discharged because his condition got worse and when he was admitted again to another hospital, but it was too late. Death certificate stated that COD was heart failure and kidney failure. Unbelievable!!!!
I swear and really hope i won't be like one of those doctors later in my life if i successfully able to put on the white coat on me. I seriously do. R.I.P to that patient.
