Teluk Intan : The Happening...

No.. This is not about weird story/people commit suicide in Teluk Intan, but rather my journey for 1week in Hospital Teluk Intan here..it is so useful, in term of giving me experience of how to deal with emergency cases, jalan-jalan cari makan in Perak and meet people from other perspectives. and about my house, oklah with mixed friends inside,guess this is what we say a true Malaysian yeah..


DAY 1 :
COOL..i can say this,coz met Dr.Brian with so enthusiastic to teach us in the ward and give us a very good case,which i did the PE..nerve compression due to haematoma at L2,L3,L4.
then,this day it was my oncall time,so need to stay till 11pm..but we had nice teamwork with my coursemate, HO here..did lots of procedure..
But,at 4.30pm, suddenly got 1 patient collapsed in the observation room, and we came to help the DRs to do CPR.well,the last time i performed CPR was 3years ago,2 times..so,no big shock for me..and not really tired since did pumping exercise 1week before,can last long to perform!!haaha
and,it was my coursemate,who felt very sad, i can say that coz he spoke with the patient until he collapsed..OMG!!and it was him to alert the Drs here..all of what we can do,was just performed CPR, intubation and supports this patient..but after 20 mins,we cant do anything and once informed the family, i was so sad see their lost..

At night,the patient which i did the PE at noon, collapsed but we managed to stablize him and put into observation room..and,that night,did so many works,and i really felt we were "shadow" HO here =)

DAY 2 :
So tired to came ward but i got 2patients to present the case during round.and it was worthwhile to do so.met so many patients and nice case. we got teaching from Dr.Sheikh from HUKM,and did 3short cases and 2 long cases..thanks Dr for your time..=)

before i went home at 4.30pm,this was time when i saw my patient last night which we put at observation room,collapsed again!! and i was the only one the MS, with nurse, and all the HO's got teaching,and MO doing round next ward. and i did the CPR together with the nurses for 15mins: chest compression, ambu bag and vital signs monitoring..it really test my nerves as made me to react within short period with correct decision!! finally, Drs came and tried to intubation but my patient passed away..so sad coz i know him,talked with him and did examined him..and to the family's reactions,i cant afford it but went out from the room..

DAY 3 :
Nothing special, but at night, we went to T-Corner Cafe, western food just above the cinema here in the town. Very nice,i meant the food esp the sauce,haha! and I really like the apple tea here..










this is just above the cinema..cool and nice place.




can u see what is wrong here??


late at night,need to accompany my friend to bring few girls go makan..aiyoo!!pura-pura diet but midnite lapar oredy.hehe,nolah,they got oncall and totally forgot about dinner..very hardworking eh??




i didn't do anything to her,so i really don't know why she had that look...



DAY 4 :
really tired from morning till evening!!! i got 6 hours bed-side teaching or meaning to say, 6 hours standing..hahaha!!cant tahan laughing seeing all my groupmates nearly closed their eyes and angguk2 everytime Dr mentions somenthing..and when everybody wanna go at 1.40pm to have lunch,i "sengaja" asked questions to Dr and all of my friends looked at me with one kind expressions..hahaha,u all r so cool!!

Yeah,PizzaHut!!!!this is my dinner...got 9 of us went here,Pizzahut shop,3 malays,2 bumis,4 chinese,all guys..and we took meal for 10 people!! dont worry,i didnt take the extra meal but Yen Ping...hahaha,burpp..









DAY 5 :
Nothing special except we were heading to one biscuit shop,popular in the town.really?oklah..i'm not a guy who really like bread/biscuit or anytime related "roti"..except Pizza,hehe.


In conclusion,this town is so good and not so "ketinggalan" compared to other pekan..at least u can enjoy urself here,if doing HO here..and there are some places i wanna go later,perhaps..the Kg.Nelayan restaurant to eat seafood,the traditional foods here ( i guess what?) and i wanna go up the "menara condong"..at least i don need to go Italy to see "menara Pisa" (is that the location?)..well,we should support Malaysian product what,kan?hehe
the foods here,cool!! not so bad,esp the the Chinese Medan selera,oklah..very cheap one..u can get anything..like the carrot milk here,fresh giler!!and Yen Ping did mention about one food that we need to try here,may be cheong chung fun?gosh,cant remember the name at all.....
