of a cyst and a cut

As the title above reveals, yesterday, some of my friends and I got a chance to watch a minor operation removal of sebaceous cyst.

Pt who was admitted with c/o small swelling on the left cheek just in front of tragus of ear since 4 years back.

Since 4 years back, the single swelling was small at first and gradually increases in size and doesn't come with c/o pain. The swelling is oval shaped,sized of 2 x 4cm, appears normal skin with a black punctum clearly seen. Swelling is attached to the skin, with well-defined edges, firm in consistency and mobile in all direction and fluctuation appears.

there's no other associate symptom with the swelling.

A small incision was done by BMJH general surgeon, Dr Preeti.

ok, enough of the case history. It was a pleasure that we could see the minor surgery on our friend Solihein Siddiqin. It's quite scary when the doctor inject the xylocaine anesthetic. The incision was made just like what we did during 1st years dissection, just that now we see it is done on human who's alive.

here's some picture. interesting.

Who's Pinocchio?

HAHA. Interesting.

People must be talking bout this blog lately ryte?

Why don't we all STOP TALKING about it, plus what he/she wrote wasn't pleasant at all, i guess. So, let's IGNORE IT.

Ok fine, i think what the person wrote, some of it make sense, but doesn't have to be that way. At least be a bit polite instead of being sarcastic, which most of us here hate it. I hate sarcasm, sorry but what can i do, it's nature.

The more we talk, the more he/she wrote. And i think people who did this must badly want to be famous of people talking bout this. He/She must be happy when this blog is being exposed and being a topic of a day. I bet Monday's dissection hall will be no ABSENTEEs as people grasping to know who is PINOCCHIO. Welcome Monday!

So, why don't we stop talking and pretend like he/she is nobody and just wait and see he/she reveal him/her self afterhe/she gets tired and boring when people is not talking about the blog anymore. SSSHHHHH................................

P/S: I'm not afraid to be the subject in his blog because i don't give a damn. But, doesn't mean i don't read. Just wait and see..

Rs 30 or Rs 15

today

2nd April 2009.

As usual in the morning i'll go to college by auto with my housemate.

so do when we return but not everyday we went back home by auto and they usually charge us about Rs 30 or a lil' cheaper Rs 20 and if there's a "stupid" auto driver they'll use meter. If using metre, starting was Rs14 and the metre hardly increase, if it's increase, the increment will be ONLY Rs 1 or Rs 2. So the total will be Rs 15/Rs 16.

Rs 30 > Rs 20 > Rs 15

I repeat that, i always use the auto with my housemate,  but sometime when i ride it alone also they'll charge me with that price. Rs 30 charge, riding alone actually kinda expensive. but surprisingly today, i got it for Rs 15. Alone and i'm actually proud of it because i don't exactly know why. The truth is, i'm kinda envy with seniors leaving in Divya cause they always get low prices compared to us (me) who always got high prices as in that ranges above. 

High prices actually make me hate auto drives actually. HEHE. It's true. I still remember the first day when we use the auto to college, they charge us Rs 50 for God sake. It's Rs 50 people. FYI, Rs 50 can bring us to CS or MG Rd instead of just college. Conclusion is, I HATE AUTO but unfortunately if there's no auto how i'm supposed to go to college. =(

Auto oh Auto..............

india : best place for medical course

wondering why i said that?

yes, last thursday, i had a practical exam after done with it, i had some time talking to one of the tutor, Ms Meghna Nadiger. She was a medical students once and now teaching us practicals.

I asked her how to study physiology ( cause she was tutoring physiology practicals) and she said that read,read and read. Then, it will be stored nicely in our frontal lobe. I saw a MCQ papers she was holding and i asked her about it, she answered that she is attending an exam which she needs to score well. I wonder why, and it's because if she got it wrong 1/4 of the total 1 marks on each questio will be deducted and she refuse to accept that because, for her, it's a waste while she actually can gain mark if it's true instead of losing marks.

I have this thought, IF our mcqs were like that, i'll be doomed. ironically, she was a Ramaiah College student and she got distinction during her first year medical course and i was like...OH-MEE-GOD! that's super cool ok! while i was still crawling to get a pass...PASS not really distinction. Medical in india is the best i said because of it's system itself i guess. You see, we even can have experience to touch a cadaver in the first year while in Europe hardly to get this opporturnity, so we got the experience to approach a real body and that makes it's more to practical. Not that i suggest we lack of theory, in fact we all were insufficient of holidays while in 4 seasons country that offers medic, 3 month of holiday for summer, which make we have whole day in a week for theory classes.

But , the student will definitely suffer like hell to read and cover up for the whole week, and that explains the no-life-term in medical student. But, stated here that i do have life ok!

I and a few friends also do get some advices from her...KEY TO SUCCESS

- Read up

- Pay attention in Class

- Read up.

Simple, but it's worth it.Yeah, i forget to mention Ms Meghna is a daughter of our Biochemistry Lecturer ( Mr Nadiger) who was once a lecturer in USM,Kubang Kerian. Mr Nadiger live in Malaysia for 10 years and Ms Meghna was in Malaysia for 1 one and a half years there, so they can speak Malay language.

Finally, i'm a free man now..I've just done with all the practicals exam and theory as well and 2nd Internal Assesment is OVER! and i'm feeling good about it!

Could I.

There's a time when i want to change it for good.
Past these few days, i've been so busy and tired which i need to struggle for the exam.
Last Sunday and last night i don't bother to sleep cause there's stoll lots to read and lots more to go.
From one chapter to another chapter. Read and memorize. Medical life right, so i need to bare with it. But, i sit and think, could i just turn back the time so that i could struggle for the beginning. I still remember when i failed 2 subject during first Internal Assesment, i've made my vow to start struggle early, i do change but it last not that long as i expected due to the laziness and various factors. I skip my lunch every single day to study in the library but there's no point when my mind wasn't there. I regreted. See, i've been struggle for these past few days and i utilize to the maximun all the time i use and even i have these thought that going out for luch is just a wasting of time, so i stayed in the library and this actually helped, but less.

As i sat for the examination this week without having a tight sleep, i really hope i passed, at least, so that there won't be the any worse time during my first phase and i couldn't afford to fail and doomed for the year. I seriously need motivation constantly which i received from my parents and collegues these few days. But, should i blame internet for this laziness plus i usually online on Facebook and downloading movies and series? Without internet, i could at least search anything from it so that i make it useful in term of study. I tried.

Anyways, after these two theory papers = Anatomy and Physiology, i hoped and pray hard to Allah so that i passed, no that i don't expect to pass excellently, but really appreciate that at least i passed. Now, what worries me more is Biochemistry. Honestly i still haven't start anything yet and knowing thst biochemistry needs me to memorize lots of thing and i wish i could be able to do that in this 1 and a half day. I really hope that i passed on these 3 subject, as weel as the practicals examination. I at least want to be better and i want to change this and make it permenantly. I want to be a good and knowledgeable doctor. I don't want to be a doctor with surface knowledge and just passed. I WANT TO BE MORE THAN THAT.
