Sharing and caring

I started this blog few month ago with high spirits. To share my limited knowledge and offer some guidance to my colleagues taking internal medicine.

I've always wondered why despite 3 postings(180 people) who have taken medicine, less than 10 is willing to share. Like i've always said, We need to complete each other, not compete with each other. Holding on to this, I tried my best to offer guidance to my colleagues, whoever interested.

But it seems that i overlooked the dangers of teaching, especially in a medical faculty. Different people have different styles and these people always say other methods are wrong except for their own.

Therefore, my opinion may differ from other people. Although i am 101% positive i am right, how am i going to argue with an MMed or MRCP's opinion?

and some not so nice comments also passed from mouth to mouth that I am being "too free". The irony is, i am in O&G. So i think i must be very brilliant such that someone noticed me of being too free in this hellish posting.
Some wind told me about getting arrogant, from my style of walking etc etc

Come on.....some times i walked a little fast and maybe limping to one side because i have chronic back pain of unknown origin(possibly due to my mattress contour). Not trying to look like a consultant or something. And most of the mistakes i corrected is MY mistakes. In every little advice i give, i was hoping the receiver will be far far above me in the exams by not repeating every little stupid mistake i make.

If you think its useless, you can just assume i am singing a very lousy song. If you think i'm being too fussy over small small mistakes, trust me, the consultants you will be meeting will be far more fussy than i am. If i don't know an answer to a question you asked, i will say i don't know, i will offer a possible explaination, i will ask you to look it up and up to you to prove me wrong! If you choose to swallow whatever i said, then whose fault it is?

So the best thing in my mind now is, don't ask me anything, go find from books. Any questions from now onwards will meet a same universal answer from me -->"I don't Know".

And 1 most irritating things going around is that i only share with my "gang". Whoever is my "gang" i don't know, but so far, i think i've never turned down any request for advice or guidance.

Some people find it irritating for me to question them. They want everything to come out from me for me to absorb. But believe me, questioning is a method to know where you stand. If i do not ask the questions that had been asked in short and long case, how are they going to know what to expect? Sometimes, i may ask some quite "unimportant" questions, this is to scare you into studying so that you will excel......not to,like yi hui put it, "berlagak" that i know the thing in front of you!

Sometimes, i overestimated people's level and sometimes, i underestimate. Trust me, this is disastrous.

In my medicine posting last time, how i hope that someone will offer some guide to me. How i hope someone will show me what short case is like. How i hope to know how long case feels like. Luckily, i have a very dedicated supervisor and registrar who did just that, with liberal amount of tachycardia, of course. Which is why i wanted to give exactly the same thing to my colleagues, without the tachycardia.

But i just seem to create a not so nice environment for myself. Feel weird that people don't even smile at me when i pass through the corridors in the Medicine wards. Really, i am 190 cm tall, its not that hard to saw me isn't it?

Back in my form 6 days, i used to generate a wonderful bond with all my friends in our Biology study group. I tried to apply the same idea here, unfortunately the early results seem to fail quite miserably. My style is terrible and incompatible here

therefore, my point is i am not giving any more teaching or guide to anyone anymore. It's not worth sacrificing my image for it.

Before i get labelled as a Consultoid (Yew yew teach me this term haha) by other people, i'd better quit now:)

PPD component
I learn that medical students are just too smart to be cared for :)

Ashamed,,,,,

in response to kuan yew's blog Times when I am ashamed to be a chinese. -不管别人瓦上霜

This is my comment

I agree!! Sometimes chinese people just don't give a shit about what happen around them.
They think that to care about their surrounding is a stupid thing to do.What happen is, when they are in trouble and nobody help them, they start making so much noise!! Complain to DAP,complain to MCA, complain here complain there, government not good la, dis la, dat la...sometimes quite insensitive to other people's feeling.
I've got 2 excellent examples here:1) In front of my house, last few months, a 50++ year old woman have her necklace snatched and this cause her to fell off her motorcycle. My neighbours saw it happen because they tengah menyibuk. But they did not help the poor lady at all! They straight away cut short their menyibuk session and go into their home and shut the door,because the victim is a malay lady!
2) when jo ee visited melaka, i was waiting for him at a famosa when a road bully(CHINESE) is bullying a female driver(ALSO CHINESE). I intervened and the bully threatened to hentam me as wel. A whole lot of CHINESE kepoh chees are looking but they couldn't be bothered. At last, before i start wrestling with that fat guy, a MALAY lady shouted and called the police and the bully fled!And the worse part is the female driver just go off, without even a word of thanks!

Wake up people...

Syabas to HUKM docs and nurses

Viva Cardio team ! :)

All the best!!

to all my friends going for Medicine shortcase on wetnessday....
Just relax and hope for the best!

Everybody will do fine. Why do i say that? Greet the patient and ask for permission to examine, you got 2 marks out of 12 already. Just conduct the examination step by step and you got 4 marks. Now, that's 6 out of 12, pass already: ) During discussion, even if you are making up stories, do not look as if you dont know. Look at the examiner in the eyes.

To kuan yew, soon hooi, alex and gang, i'm sure you all will score one! Just be confident :)

Who say people Malaysia no clever speaking the England?(Siapa kata orang malaysia tak pandai cakap Inggeris?)

Kudos to Department Registration Country (direct translation of Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara) for giving me, and the whole world a good laugh.Keep up the good work!(and we will soon be down the drain)

Actually, there's many many more of these garbage in the website, but i think the more we read, the more we feel ashamed of ourselves. If this type of english is allowed on a government website, then i doubt we could ever achieve Vision 2020,3030,4040 or 5050. How can this happen? Hopefully the ministers(especially Minister of Education) will be able too see this and make appropriate changes to our education system. I will use a Malaysian quote to describe this english. "The stage of england in Malaysia half eye cannot see la..."(Taraf Bahasa Inggeris di malaysia, sebelah mata tak boleh tengok)

The effect of Onania

Another interesting read..

Tissot’s scientific aims extended to the mental effects of masturbation.
Following the third law of Newton on action and reciprocal reaction, Tissot theorized
that orgasms were spasms of extreme nervous activity that necessitated an
equal and opposing depression of the nerves. This dampening of the nervous
activity caused permanent derangement when it occurred too frequently,
making the individual more susceptible to apoplexy, paralysis, insanity, and
other nervous diseases (17). This idea contributed to the 19th century notion
of “masturbatory insanity” caused by permanent brain damage due to constant
irritation.

Therefore, according to Tissot, masturbation denuded the body of blood
and, thus, gave rise to grave physical and mental consequences. Included
among these were weakening of the digestive system, loss of or excessive appetite,
vomiting, indigestion, breakdown of the respiratory system, general debility
and lassitude, as well as damages to the faculties and memory. The consequences
to women were even more grave, because masturbation led to hysteria, “vapeurs
affreuses,” incurable jaundice, stomach cramps, prophase and ulceration of the
womb, and clitoral rashes, for example. The young were particularly vulnerable,
as the loss of “precious liquid” stunted their natural physical development and
contributed to feeblemindedness (14,17).

By providing a pathological model of masturbation rooted in the seemingly
scientific and secular domain, Tissot’s book sparked the 19th century
medico-scientific masturbation phobia in the United States. Masturbation
was transformed from one of the many forms of seminal and excretory
loss into a sexual practice potentially fatal to individuals and society alike
