Bored...
Waiting for my manga to be download and got bored as the forum where I was visiting decided to go offline for the day. So decided to blog a bit la... gonna be quite short post. Need to go off when downloading done.
So what am I going to blog about...
What about another session of CSU since I just had it yesterday.
IMU implemented another stupid regulation during CSU. You must have your equipments (ie pen torch (WORKING), stethoscope and tendon hammer) with you at all times (not to mention we don't use those equipments at all, maybe just to make us look 'professional'). And there is of course the dress code and you must look presentable.
This was my 3rd CSU session with this regulation in place. For the first two, I've brought all those equipments along. My friends were regalling me about this Dr. Jac who has been checking out students in her group, but and I've got Dr. Tin and Dr. Tim who did not bothered to check. So I got lazy and did not bring equipments along to CSU.
Never thought I would get Dr. Jac.
She lined us up like how you see in a police line up. Or maybe in the army and she the commanding officer.
Jac: Nametags
I: Erm... in the bag (My nametag's in Klang)
Jac: Pentorch
I: Erm... did not bring.
Jac: Stethoscope
I: Erm... did not bring.
Jac: Tendon hammer
I: Erm... I did not bring my whole bag from home.
Jac: Hair, your hair is messy and slightly long
Jac: Coat, good enough, cut off the threads dangling around.
Jac: Pants, your pants very baggy. Starch it.
Jac: Shoes, Erm... not sure what are your shoes, so wont comment.
I'm making good rapports with the CSU teachers, haha. At least Dr. Jac is funner to play with, unlike Juriah.
And this conversation I had about Nilesh. I was planning to ponteng that dumb lecturer's lecture
A: Aren't you going for Nilesh's lecture?
E: It's Nilesh. I rather let Netter's teach me.
(Netter's is an anatomy atlas where Frank Netter is just an illustrator/artist. Druhba's words: "Who is Netter? Netter is just an ARTIST!!!")
A: You are letting a dead man teach you instead of a live man?
E: Wrong, I'm letting an artist teach me instead of that anatomist.
And today we had a debriefing session on our Family Medicine/GP posting and we were supposed to fill in this feedback form of your reflections and comments in certain areas.
A brief summary:
Knowledge
Medicines that GPs used, most that flew over my head.
Medicines change all the time and if we are just going to learn that in posting, what's the bloody use.
Clinical Skills
Nothing I do not know off. It just confirmed that whatever we learn in CSU (ie taught by Htin Aung) is different from what GPs use.
Communication Skills
Nothing to start with, nothing gained.
If the patient's behing stubborn and sweet talk doesnt work, use: "If you don't listen to me, you die. Pick your choice."
Professionalism and personal development
Dress code is not necessary. My GP wears polo-t, jeans and Nike sport shoes, and the patients adore him. They prefer a more casual doctor, they feel that they can talk to him better because they fell that he is just human like them.
I hate kids, little demons in disguise. I don't want to be a doctor with too much doctor-patient contact.
Health promotion.
There's a lot of people dying from Hypertension and Diabetes. You can advice them and hope they listen. Or you can just let them die if they don't listen to you. No big deal.
Family & community issues.
If they don't want to tell you their family issues, let it lie. Patients lie all the time anyway.
Critical thinking
Boring time, no use of critical thinking.
Life-long learning
I don't want to be a GP, or a doctor for that matter.
Kids are demons in disquise.
I am a better forensic/surgeon than a patient's doctor.
Any suggestions / comments
Cut short the posting. Hell, why not just removed the whole damn thing.
About myself
Ethnic Group: Why? Biasness towards Bumis and Malays? Anyway, I'm Chinese and proud to be.
And I was wondering something today. Richard seemed want me to do nothing but study all day (just like him). He is unhappy when I go out with the girls to play futsal, he doesnt like it when I go off to have Tai Chi classes, and he gets that black look on his face when I go for Debate trainings.
He doesn't have ECA in IMU doesnt mean that I have to not have ECAs too.
And today he categorised me as the same as him, GOOD FOR NOTHING!!!
WHAT?!!!!
As I was waiting for the file to download, I wondered to myself, am I really good for nothing? Let's think it the other way round, what am I good at?
Hmmm... nothing?
Let's take it one by one, beginning with things I like to do and am I good at it?
Fustal? Hmmm... I like kicking the ball around, I like rough-housing with the girls... but I suck at it. Hell, I did not even made it to the M2/03 team.
Debate? Well, I'm an AIDA 1 adjudicator, but I seriously doubt the truth of that test I took. I can't adjudicate for nuts. My mind tend to wander half way, and I see things so different from others who see it another way (others being the other adjudicators). As for debating... let's just say I suck at it too. I can't debate, I feed off people. Sigh...
Tai Chi? I can't remember steps like for anything, I'm slow at learning. Enough said.
Writing? I like writing, all kinds of things, but there are so many people who can do it much better than me. I write for fun, and only I find pleasure in my writing. (Self-praise is no praise), but those other people can really write!!! Agong, KenJay, YeeP, Kanishah, Wilfred, to name a few...
Playing PS? Hmm... I bet there are better people at playing. Anyway, playing PS isn't a skill.
What about other things?
Singing? HAHAHA!!! Richard can sing better (refer to previous post)
Dancing? Acting? Playing an instrument?
Studying? HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Ok, I give up.
Level of self-esteem:
Come to think of it, why am I fretting over such things. I like the way I am, I do not want to change at all.
*stick tongue out* Whatever!!!! I'm gonna get on with life. So what I suck!!! I have great friends who will still be my friends even if I suck at everything. So there!!!
Going to go off to finish up facial muscles.
*hops away happily, stopping to pat blog on the nose* Thank you, blog, for listening to my rants.
Mooooo...I am Moosferatu, the demonic Jersey Cow.
