FIRST DAY OF MY ATTACHMENT IN PCSH

when the alarm rang, my eyes could hardly open.I dragged myself to the bathroom and washed up.

8.30am- i was half an hour early, sitting at the bench right opposite the human resource department, waiting for the manager to arrive.

She looks friendly and warm. She led me to the conference room and then i realized that i am joining the nursing group for orientation.

9.00am- a super familiar figure came into my sight all of a sudden.GOSH!it was justine tan?!"what the hell is he doing here right now???i thought he told me that he is applying for Fatimah Hospital????!!!!!"

i felt so delighted suddenly...i have a companion.

the docs, nurses..everyone is so friendly and nice.there is someone who i met today that i must mention here right now.
He is Dr. Mah..***applause!!!**

He is such a wonderful doc!!he took us around the hospital and introduced us to all the doc in the hospital.actually they are all friendly.Justine was mistaken as a male nurse tho....kakaa.....ohya...one thing that i must mention it as well..he really did dressed up well ....i would say/...better than the docs...hahaa...

after the brief intro, Dr. Mah freed us for our lunch break which is 3 hours long?!
he let us arrrange everything...included the schedule....

we came home during this 3 hours break.I offer justine a glass of TUAK which is some kind of alcohol drink made in sarawak ...after few gulps..i guessed the sensory nerves from the taste buds disintegrated and it reached the cortex...somethin crossed our minds...."Oopss!we r going to OT (operation theatre) later~!!!!"

i grabbed his glass of tuak and put both into the fridge....

we drank few cups of chinese tea in order to get rid of the alcohol sting..
OT was kinda boring...though it was my very first time wearing scrubs...

we stood there throughout the whole operation--cholestasis , gall stones located in the middle of CBD(common bile duct).patient suffers from lots of diseases included hepatitis,heart failure and the surgeon(Dr.Jeevaraj) found pus in liver (cholecystitis).She is treated with the drug DIGITOXIN.

Dr.mah is an anesthetician.He introduced to us some latest drugs used in GA.

During the surgery, Dr.Jeeva came out w a question..(how many litres of bile does a healthy person have?)

both of us stared at each other...confused for awhile...struggling hard to figure out the answer...
- tiusichia???
-net...mala...
(we were actually discussing bout the question in russian....)
n in the end...we concluded that its 800 ml.
but the correct answer was 500 ml..plus or minus 500 ml...
-maybe russians have more..hahaaa....,he continued.

-must know how to lie....said Dr.Mah.

its not a common question...too bad i really had no idea.

tomorrow we r supposed to visit the A&E and endoscopy department.

-take your own sweet time to come...don;t have to rush.Dont forget that u r on a vacation!!!!
I just love Dr.Mah soooo much...he is such a considerate doc huh?!
