My Last Week of Posting



This week will be the last week of our posting after 7 years of journey in medical school.

I want to enjoy it until the last day.

Thanks Allah for all the strength that you gave me to reach until this stage.

The very next step is to pass the Final Professional Examination (as well as the Paediatric posting).

Note : I don't want to receive any 'mangkuk' in this week. =p

My Great Teacher


I have a great teacher.

Initially I thought, it was only me who acknowledge him as a great teacher.

But, when chatting with other friends, everybody seemed to be in the same line with me.

Why he was so great, despite of his long lectures?

It was truly long. He could deliver his lecture in 4 hours without break!

The problems are always from us who could not stand it.

We will bring along food and drink during his lecture when hypoglycaemia set in.

Why were we so 'struggling' to stay awake during his lecture?

Just simply because of the precious knowledge from him.

He made us understand things easier.

Things that were so difficult before seemed so easy after his explanation.

Who is he?

I personally do not know him much.

I did know where he came from. I did know where is he working. I did not know his age.

I assumed he is from KL as his car plate number was WLS XXXX.

I assumed he has his own clinic (or maybe hospital) as he always told stories about his patients (which seemed different from government hospital setting).

For all I know, he is our visiting lecturer since our senior's time.

He is a great pediatrician who attained his first degree in UKM and had MRCP qualification.

He has taught many students including some of our lecturers.

He is the only lecturer who is still using OHP in the class and very kind in giving notes to us.

I've tried to Google his name, but nothing much information obtained (it was actually none!)
So, once again, I wondered, who is he?



By the way, I would like to thank this great teacher, Dr Mohd Zain bin Zainal Abidin for his patience and enthusiasm in giving us the knowledge.

You are not only teaching about medicine, but in most of the time you inspired us to become a good and safe doctor like you. (Great teacher inspires!)

We pray for you to be at the best health, so that you will be continuing spreading the knowledge and inspiring our juniors. We also pray for you to be always blessed by Allah in the world and hereafter.

Note :

1. Credit for Tini for the photograph. (I was not in this group. Our group did not have pictures with him. So pre occupied with the SPA interview)

2. There were a lot of 'funny' quotations from him. I'll try to put it in my blog later. It was very meaningful to us.

Don't be Selfish



"If the patient was ill-looking, don't disturb him. Don't be selfish."


Thank you Dr Aye Aye for the reminder.

"It's good for us to learn but it was no good at all for the patient."

I was relieved to listen to her advice just now. We have to be empathy. Just use our common sense!

What's painful to the patient is always an amazing thing to medical students. By the way, that's how we learn.

Thousands of thanks for all patients. Only Allah can give you the rewards.

Note :

This ill-looking patient had passed away 2 days after that. She was a cute 4-year-old little girl with Down's syndrome who were suffering from atrioventricular defect which was complicated by pulmonary hypertension for the past 1 year. The parents were so nice to us and she had involved in our university final professional exams for few times. May you rest in peace there my dear. Thank you for everything. ~
