More and more blood are sucked and being wasted for this Haemopoeitic Block.


After 19 years of survival, only now that I know my blood group is O+.

Isn't that pathetic?

Hmm okay. No problem for pregnancy with Rh+ baby.

O yeah.

Okbai.

Recently I read about our late sister, arwah Noria Idris.
How pity it was to hear the news.
A young sweet lady who was going to have her first baby,
passed away during the delivery.
Innalillah..

And just now, I read sis Nurul Ain's blog.
I read about her first pregnancy.
She went to the doctor.
She's conceiving a life.
But then the doctor told there's no sign of heartbeat of the child.
She went to another doctor.
Only then she accepted that,
her baby was no longer alive.
Miscarriage.
She had to undergo the scary D&C procedure.
*Dilation & curettage procedure to scrape and collect the tissue (endometrium) from inside the uterus.
Goodbye baby.
Pity her.

Two days ago, for the hospital attachment session,
my group got the chance to visit the Obstetric & Gynecology Department.
Somehow I wonder, is there any relation among these?

There is either low risk, or high risk. "

I seek refuge in Allah from trials, overt and covert.

Here's the story.
Right now I'm in the middle of Nervous Tissue Block
where physiology classes outnumbered other classes.
The irony is, there is this one guy,
a physiology lecturer, being the HOD himself
turns out to be very, very, strict about,
discipline.

"I want you people to be a good human being before being a good doctor."

Well, I respect him for that.
It actually is a good thing to train all these students about manners.
He forbids us from being late.
(Oh, I was among the very first latecomers who received his first warning.
I was late for only 1 minute. =.=)
He always remind us,
don't be the reason why your patient dies because of your bad timing.

Oh, there's more.
No entry to the class for latecomers.
No going out in the middle of the class.
No talking in class.
No smiling or laughing by yourself unless he's the reason.
No writing notes.
Just listen.
No glancing at the clock. It means you don't respect the teachers in front of you.
And we must stand up and greet the teachers immediately as she/he steps into the class.
Well, one of the boys had been called upon for not standing up.
Other lecturers don't bother much about standing up before class started.
But he does. He makes fuss out of it.

"I know you people don't greet your teachers in Malaysia. I've been to Malaysia and I see it myself.
But in India, you must greet and respect the teachers. "

Frankly saying, he's right about that part.
I guess the etiquette of greeting teachers in Malaysia only lasts till high school.
Or is it still being practiced in U? Do correct me if I'm wrong.

The amazing part of India is,
Teachers are Gods.
Doctors are Gods.
They are a very respected group of people.
Oh did I mention about how I went to the hospital but the doctors are not yet available at 9.30 in the morning?
Hmm.. Maybe just the dermatologist.
Skip that part.

So much for the intro.
What I was going to write is about what had happened this evening.
Today's schedule should end at 5.30 pm which is not at 4.30 or 5 as usual.
Of course, it was his class which is unusual than usual.
When it already passed 5.30 pm, we were like,
slowly packing our stuff, we were glancing n peeking at the watch.
(And that is when he starts reminding us about not to look at the clock.)
It's not that we disrespect him or such,
it's just that we were anxious waiting for the class to end,
coz we didn't perform our Asar namaz (prayer) yet.
Maghrib time would be at 6.07 pm.
It's not that he didn't respect our religion, or didn't allow us to pray,
maybe he didn't realize that our afternoon classes today start during Zuhur and ends near Maghrib, no break in the middle.
But yet, nobody spoke up to tell him.
Everybody remained silent.
Thank God he let us out at 5.50 pm.
We were running and rushing down the stairs, across our campus gate, across JNMC campus area, across the willow walk, and across the roundabout towards our hostel.
I could see the guard was astonished seeing us (boys and girls) running like hell towards our separate ways,
boys hostel and girls hostel.
He was just smiling himself.
Maybe he thought we were on race to be the first to arrive at the hostel?
Haha.

Gladly I reach my room on time.
Well, not all of us did the marathon.
Some did sneak out to go for namaz during lab hour. Luckily it's anatomy class, not physiology.
It's a sin to go out from any physio class without permission!
Ain't that scary?
Hahah.

Papa Chur, the man who welcomed us on our very first day here,
is not as lenient as we thought.
He gives us the tense of being a medical student.
Sometimes he makes me feel like I'll never survive in this field.
He told us this is not the attitude of a doctor to be.
Sometimes I feel like I'm not qualified enough. T_T

To look on the bright side, he's not the point of these things.
But He is.
There are always reasons behind everything.



Self reflecting...

Oh. Hi!
It's not that I've been extremely busy not to spark off my regular craps in this
pretty obsolete blog,
it's just that, time speeds so fast you couldn't travel or even fly along.
Hmm.



I did scribble some thoughts to be mentioned here,
of what had been happening these days
of 206 bones and 640 muscles that I figured out to be remarkably existing in human body
of how the Continuous Assessment Exam that I've been through
of the next upcoming networks of nerves I need to be familiar with
of how I ended up in the hospital seeing dermatologist right after the exam
of when I got myself wandering around in Mumbai for a couple of days
of my laptop as well as my phone got sick and hospitalized but fortunately treated by a very helpful senior
of me being aggressively indulged with masses of Kit Kats and Cadbury Bournville lately
and the critical part is,
of me wasting time and procrastinating!

But those imaginary drafts on my mind are highly volatile.
So here I am, drafting a new piece of mind.
Procrastinating again and again, realizing that the result will be out tomorrow and I got no mood to face any book but facebook.

The End.

Piloswine

It has been 55 days here, and I'm now in Musculoskeletal Block where anatomy gives me migraine! T_T

Oh anatomy can be learnt 5 times here, repeating the whole same thing for 5 times;

1- In the lecture hall

2- During demo/practical in the lab

3- During dissection of cadaver!!

4- The lessons during lecture/ demo / dissection are recorded and uploaded in the website

5- Self study with books

Kalau tak leh ingat lagi xtau ah apa nak jadi.. aiyok!

Continuing from this post..




Yeah, to India I go..

It's quite despairing to leave Pharmacy.
I've been interested in pharmacy since high school.
Simply because of Cikgu Siti, which made me being affectionate towards Chemistry subject.
Chemistry has always been my favourite subject, till it came to the times where I attend the science foundation in UiTM Puncak Alam, and there were so many things to learn in quite a short time, and it was quite a harsh time sparing efforts to understand chemistry.
I started having trouble with the chemistry bonds and structures in Semester 1, which eventually affect my grasp in Chemistry for the next chapters in the syllabus.
Even Melly and Ku Syera didn't believe that I gave up on Chemistry, the day before the paper test.
"Jange Putus Aso.." was our promises. :')
I guess I don't have 'chemistry' with Chemistry anymore. :D
I might faint spending 4 years with the PH210 syllabus! XD

So, later on the final exam result was out.
Undoubtedly, a B for my Chemistry.
At first, I did apply for Medicine in all 8 choices of UPU application in Phase 1.
But with a B Chemistry, I had to alter the application in Phase 2, leaving only Medicine in UKM which the requirement is lower than other universities.

I was quite envious with my housemate, Dr. Sofina!
She got same CGPA with me, but she got all A's.
Dr. Ahmad Taufiq! same CGPA but you got all A's!!
I am jealous with other of my aquaintances!
Dr. Arif, Dr. Farhan, Dr. Riri, Dr. Rhidaudin, Dr.Imran, Dr.Azwan, Dr. Shana..
They all got Medicine in UiTM.
And I'm also jealous with Yine!! :(

Oh, bersyukur la wey dapat farmasi UiTM!
As I was given choices, I was quite in doubt whether to choose either pharmacy or medicine.
Of course, others would say go for medicine instead of pharmacy!
I was researching about pharmacy and a senior helped me a lot.
She's now working as Provisional Registered Pharmacist (PRP) at Hospital Sultanah Nur Zahirah, Kuala Terengganu.

Q:Emm nak tau, nanti kerja apa ye, kerja dengan hospital je ke? tak tau sangat la pasal pharmacy ni. kalau medic saya tau la flow dia, 3 tahun belajar theory, 2 tahun clinical, then 2 tahun HO (house officer), then MO (medical officer) bla bla bla.. kalau pharmacy camne pulak?

A: overall, lepas habis 4 tahun study,
PRP (Provisional Registered Pharmacist) = HO selama 1 tahun.
then FRP (Full Registered Pharmacist) = MO selama 3 tahun. PRP and FRP wajib dengan kerajaan.
nak tau life PRP, tengok dekat blog akak, ada cite sket2.
nak tau detail flow lepas habis uitm akak wat ape, tengok yang dari August 2010.

Q: saya dah baca post2 akak yang label 'pharmacist', macam selalu kena on call je..hmm lepas dah jd FRP means, boleh pilih either nak kerja hospital or bukak farmasi kan? betul tak? then takde go higher lagi la? macam medic kan, boleh go higher nak jadi specialist ape2 lak. how about in terms of gaji and ke-busy-an, compared to medic?

A: tak banyak pun oncall. sekali je sebulan kena kerja malam..
tu update ikut mood je tu..

kalau akak, akak ambil scholar JPA. akak ada contract 7 tahun. so lepas FRP, kena sambung lagi 3 tahun la untuk habiskan contract. kena kerja dengan kerajaan lagi..

lepas habis contract baru boleh keluar hospital/klinik kesihatan.
eh pharmacist boleh je nak sambung study lagi.
ramai je sambung. as for now, ramai kena jadi lecturer la kalau sambung study. yang dah PHD pun ada kerja hospital.

compared to medic? waawawawa.. pharmacist sangat333 tak busy compared dengan dorang. ngeh3.. dorang selalu jelessss.. =))))

gaji for sure la rendah sket dari medic. kalau pharmacist, now akak gaji total 3774. dorang dapat la 4k lebih. tapi oncall dorang sangat33 teruk.
now dorang belum ada kerja shift. so oncall je la memanjangggg.
kalau double shift lak, memang naya gak dorang. almost 2 hari kerja non stop.

Q: kontrak JPA untuk farmasi memang 7 tahun je ek? emm yang saya tau pasal budak2 medic kena kerja teruk tu just masa housemanship je, selalu on call. kalau dah jadi specialist dah rileks2 dah. betul tak? pasal kerja pulak, secara general nya yang saya tau if amek farmasi, kerja dekat hospital or bukak kedai farmasi je. kalau nak sambung, kena jadi lecturer? camne pulak tu? then kalau dah ada PHD and kerja dekat hospital, apa beza pulak dengan FRP, in terms of tugas2 dia? ada beza jugak?

A: contract farmasi 6-7 tahun..

agak teruk masa HO. but then "tanggungjawab" pulak makin menggunung. rileks tapi kena decide benda yang penting melibatkan nyawa.

farmasi boleh kerja- hospital, industry (confirm kayaaaa), research, retail..

for now, lecturer belum cukup, that's why siapa sambung mostly akan jadi lecturer. tapi boleh je kalau tak mau..

FRP just 3 tahun je. then lepas FRP, dah jadi U48. =)
tugas makin up, makin lain.
kena pegang ward.. etc2..

2nd boss pharmacy HSNZ now yang ada PHD. boss2 semua U52-U54.

Q: pharmacy pon style ada boss jugak eh? em.. tak tau dah nak tanya apa lagi ni. kalau akak ada benda2 lain yang best2 pasal farmasi ni, akak share la ek.

A: eh mestila. kalau sekolah, mesti ada cikgu, PK HEM, kaunselor, apa lagi eh... aa.. pengetua.. kan?
kalau cikgu, dorang dibahagikan ikut subjek, kalau farmasi, dibahagikan ikut department. cuba teka, apa yg nureen tau tentang department dalam pharmacy? ;-)

so, sama la dengan farmasi.
kalau baru grad, jadi pegawai farmasi U41. (PRP and FRP)
masa PRP kena attach semua department. dalam sebulan - 2 bulan untuk each department.
sebab masa FRP kena incharge 1 department. that's why kena belajar semua department.

after U41, auto naik U44. $_$ heh..
then lepas beberapa tahun sket, naik U48.
then untuk naik U52 and U54 tu, rasanya ikut kekosongan dah.
U52 biasanya yang boss setiap department. boss utk TDM (Therapeutic Drug Monitoring), TPN (Total Parenteral Nutrition), satelit, stor, CDR(Cytotoxic Drug Reconstitution) and so on.
kalau U54 tu pulak biasanya dah big boss la.
timbalan and ketua pegawai farmasi (KPF)..

Thanks a million, Kak Wirdiana!

Hey, coursemate yang patutku jumpa, tapi tak jadi jumpa..
Hope this post will be helpfull for you. :)
Goodluck!










But, hey.. I choose Medicine over Pharmacy..
Bye bye UiTM di hatiku...

Forretress

What's on my mind? Future.
On 15th July, the UPU result for Matriculation/ Asasi UiTM / PASUM leavers was announced.
My first choice (medic in UKM) got rejected, which I already knew it a day before the result was out.
I already expected that, long time ago while filling the application form.
Instead, I got offered pharmacy course in UiTM.
Though it was my 2nd choice in my UPU application,
I was really excited!
Why? Because I already fell in love with the place there, the campus, the environment. Read.
Yeah, Pharmacy! UiTM Puncak Alam again!!

That evening on the same day, the USM result was out.
Mummy and Daddy were so rejoiced to know that I got it, medicine course in India.
Mummy can't stop smiling and dreaming of visiting Kashmir again, of shopping textiles from India, of this and that..
It's a very good feeling to have your parents be thrilled in joy, because of you, right? c;

That leaves me to have 3 choices;
1. Pharmacy in UiTM
2. Medicine in USM-KLE Belgaum, Karnataka, India
3. Medicine in Uni. Hassanuddin (UNHAS), Indonesia.

Most of my friends from Asasi Sains UiTM got the place back in UiTM.
But also so many of them got courses that they didn't apply for, far away, in Sarawak!!??
And sadly, some others got no place in the IPTA, at all!
Eventhough they already fullfill the entry requirement.
Even the PASUM leavers have the same experience.
I don't know much about the UPU system,
but they say, the UPU system got problem, their applications didn't reach the UPU system.
Bravo to Daddy Vice Chancellor of UiTM, for his attention to this issue.
The UiTM Students Intake system was rechecked.
But still, there's no change..
Pity them, still sparing efforts trying to get a place.
Nothing I can do to help..

64,073 applicants had applied,
53,216 are eligible,
41,267 were successful in obtaining places.

Medicine: 983 candidates (Malays 581, Chinese 339, Indians 50 and others 13)
Pharmacy: 283 candidates (Malays 151, Chinese 125, Indians 7)
Dentistry: 174 candidates (Malays 91, Chinese 77, Indians 4 and others 2)

One word must I say, ALHAMDULILLAH!
I don't have to experience those moments, I even have 3 choices to select one.

Oh, I already rejected the offer to UNHAS minutes ago..
The plan to apply for the university was just a backup plan.
Though I'd already spent nearly RM 900 so far for UNHAS, including the interview fees, passport fee, and the Kota Bharu-Selangor commuting costs..

Last night, I did chat with a senior from SOPHYS ( society of pharmacy students).
Got lots of infos from her, which I never knew before.
And now, pharmacy sounds interesting!

Medicine or Pharmacy?
Which way do I go..



Oh why is my English getting worse..
