Take note!

Oh, hey guysss. I'm backkkkk.I've been writing so frequently these days as I have so many things to share so that I can make it as my reference in the future and also to share with everyone. I really hope we all can learn something. 

First and foremost, I'm just sharing that I am extremely happy today because one of the patient that I used to attend for the past 2 weeks can now be discharged healthily. I knew Mdm O and her family so well. She's a 99 years old lady who can remember this insignificant hidayah when she wanted to go back. Her daughter came to look for me to tell me that her mother wanted to see me before she went back. And when I wanted to go out, her daughter who was always there to look after her hold my hand and said, "Thank you doctor for you care, Thank you for your help, Thank you for seeing my mom when she's in pain. I hope to see you again someday later". So I said, "Sure, I'll be glad to see you and your mom later but not in the ward again but maybe someplace outside. Tell me how can I not like what I do?.Although when it comes to thinking time, solving problems, doing works, I almost always feel like my brain is going to explode. (I know it's too early to judge, but please, just let me judge my own career hehe) Can you see how much happiness, a simple 'Thank you', can give to a person? Therefore, always appreciate people with a Thank you. No matter how simple their job was. 

That's not what I intend to share actually for this time. Let's get straight to the point. So today we have another teaching session with Prof Philip. Things that I take note as learning points:

1. Be persistent about your goals.

It doesn't matter how huge the obstacles or hurdles that you are going through to get to your goals, you need to learn to be persistent or else you will continue to float around. 

An example that Prof told us was, "When you want to buy the most popular and tasty Klebang coconut milkshake, there is going to be a very long queue. Your decisions are either continue to line up and get your milkshake or give up and walk away undecided of what to drink." Be persistent, go get your milkshake! 

2. When you have goals/ambition/dreams, write it down so that it become a reality. Keep a book for your bucket list, your goals and dream so that you can look through it many times and make it a reality. 

"Things that are not written will just fade away. Like beach erosion that occur, with times, we'll lost that beautiful island."

I've been practicing this for few years and trust me, it help. 

3. Be a leader. 

"Young lady, do you want to be a leader or 'soldiers'? If you choose to be a leader, then lead, lead by example. But, if you choose to be a 'soldiers', continue to float around like a soap bubble. Indeterminate and unsure where to go but move following the direction of the wind. We have enough of such in the community, we don't want to produce anymore."

4. Don't be a task oriented person.

When you do your work, don't be a task oriented person which means you are doing your job just because you wanted to finish it. Be aware of the surroundings, do a reflection, take note of what goes wrong and what you did right and improved yourself. That's how you learn to climb up. 

5. And last but not least, this is for my dear colleagues. Understand your patients. Don't walk away until your understand the situations. 

When we were having rounds/teachings, one of our patient kept on screaming. Prof Philip noticed that and asked us to attend the patient first and see what's going on. So, a doctor said that the patient has always been like that. She screamed when people touch her or come near to her. 

This patient has been blind for past few years due to chronic uncontrolled diabetes. Ever since she's blind, she will scream when someone she's not used to come near her or touch her. She'll be very aggressive too. 

Can you get me? Can you think of what's the problem here? Can you guess why the patient act like that?

It's not my first time of having this experience. Almost 2 months in the ward, I encountered a few patients who were unable to see behave similarly. 

Maybe you know the reasons why. I'll just leave it for you guys to think first. Maybe I can share the answer given to us in the next write up in my blog, okay. 

6. Finally, continue to be happy and enjoy your life. Don't take life for granted. Remember that, the things you take for granted,someone else is praying for. So be grateful. 

                                                                                                                       Love, D.

Randolph wise words

"I was trying to put myself in a bottle that would one day wash up on the beach for my children. If I were a painter, I would have painted for them. But I am a lecturer so I lectured. - Randy Pausch" These days, I used to spent a lot of time in the Book Xcess bookstore alone during the weekends. There, a lot of books are old and 'ancient' but still are practically useful for the current time. I coincidentally found this non-fiction book by Randy Pausch. It was displayed at the most top shelf with the words best selling books written on the shelf. 5 million copies of this book has been sold out. So, I thought there must be something interesting about this book. I just grab it, took the stool and sat at one of the corner to read it. Once I read the book page by page, it was so addictive that I couldn't stop. Each sentences struck me right in the heart. By the time I realized I should stop and just buy that book, I have already read half of the book. It was t...

Have you been there?

Assalamualaikum again! I like to observe people. Their life. Comparing it with my life. I learn to be grateful by doing those things. Really. When I was in the hospital during my clinical days, it's one of those days that all of the students need to go to the hospital and learn something from a very busy and occupied doctor( Sometimes, I felt like I'm a burden to the doctor, lol, but yes.), I always like to observe the enviroment. It's because the enviroment in the hospital is totally different from elsewhere that I had went to. Only people with problems come to the hospital. If you have that kind of opportunity to go to the hospital,have a look at those people in the eyes. Trust me, you' ll be able to feel the empathy. Sometimes, I saw parents who bring their child to the hospital with the intention to cure them. People who bring their mom or dad to the hospital just to see their parents as healthy as before. But sometimes, no. They can't get what they want. ...

The littlest things in life.

Trust are not meant to be taken for granted.   It is from an event of life that a person limit their trust to his/her circle of human of choice. As for me, I may be nice to everyone but my trust is not easy to be gained. Please appreciate people when they trusted you. The most important trust that you can never take for granted is from your parents.  For me, I appreciate when my parents trusted me more than anyone else. Whatever stories that they heard from other people, they choose to listen to me first and I can never exchange that with anything. Feel blessed and grateful for not all of us are given that specialty. Respect your parents as they are the person that should earn that without attempt. When they give you the freedom, do not misused it. It was not easy for them. I guess you will one day understand when you are in their shoes. As a daughter, I know I am not that good but whenever I am deciding things or doing something, the  people that will appear firs...
