Paediatric posting @ HoSHAS
Hi…! Just coming back from Temerloh. I’ve been sleeping in the bus throughout the whole journey. Felt so sleepy coz I woke up as early as 3 a.m. to prepare my seminar. And, I’ve got so lucky coz able to finish it exactly before going to hosp. today. But after presenting, I’ve felt a bit dissatisfied since there were a lot of thing that I want to mention but forget to explain during the presentation. Only realize it after finish presenting. That’s the consequences of doing thing at the last minute. Hehehe…..
Currently I’ve being posted to Hosp Temerloh for paediatric posting. It’s a bit exhausted to be posted there since I’ve to go to and from between Kuantan and Temerloh for every weekend. Why did they ask us to go back to Kuantan just to attend one class on the Friday? It’s so tiring. They should bring the classes together. At least if we can go back every 2 weeks, it would be better.
But then, I can’t also be there for so long because later I would feel so eagerly to come back to Kuantan to use the Internet. There is only one Internet service over there. And, we could only use it for a while…, plus it’s so slow…Can’t survive without the Internet since it has become a part of my life now !!!
People said they like paediatric posting so much because there is not much things to do and it’s relaxing. Relaxing? Hmm…, I guess it is because there is not much patients in Hosp. Temerloh. Up to the extent that u becomes so boring while waiting for ur turn to get a patient.
I like paediatric posting too. But not due to the same reason. The reason I like paed is because I’m able to appreciate most of the findings. I felt so excited and grateful when I was able to recognize the findings. But…, when they start crying, u won’t be able to listen to it anymore…I guess that is the challenge that u would face when u are posted to paed. Hehehe…
It’s good to be in Hosp. Temerloh because they have an air conditioner, unlike HTAA where it feels so hot wearing the white coat. And, that is one of the reasons why the student didn’t like to stay in the ward at HTAA. Isn’t it?
Another reason why I like paed is because the nurses there are so kind and cooperative. They treat us nicely. Most of them are so young. And there is a rumors saying that it is because they were chosen personally by the royal before they can work over there. Don’t know whether it’s true or not….It’s the rumor though….
Hmm…, still have another 2 weeks in Temerloh. I guess I’m going to miss it later….Huhuhu…

haiiii…lina here. Temerloh is my kampung (father’s side) so I guess, WELCOME 2 TEMERLOH! Try da best cendol and nasi ayam at the town if u ever had the chance…it’s a stall though but it’s the best!
TQ so much, Lina. May I know where is the location of the stall? Who know that I might be able to go there later if I have the free time =)
it’s in old town, lurah semantan. near masjid and at an intersection, can’t recall the name but if you asked people around, I’m sure they know it.
Currently, I’ve got a HIV positive patient. He got the infection through vertical transmission from her mum. But then, it was not her mum fault. The one who should be blamed is the father. Pity both of them.
The marriage was an arranged marriage and the mum didn’t not know the social habit of her husband until their child was diagnosed with HIV. The father was an alcoholic and involved with multiple sexual partner during his teenager and early adulthood. And, the one who became the victims were the wife and the child.
Take home msg:
* All couple should be screened for HIV before they can get married.
Yesterday was the last day I’m in Temerloh. After this, my class would only be in HTAA. Hmm.., I guess I miss the air-cond hospital…Huhuhu…
Oh ya…! A funny thing happened to our class yesterday. We just knew that the volume adjustment in the seminar room we used is a volume adjustment for the speaker, only on the last day we were there. These whole time, all of us thought that it is used to adjust the degree of the air-con…Ahaks…And, u know from whom did we know about it? From Dr Nazrul…Kah,kah,kah…,buat malu je…! He laughed a lot when he knew about it…;-)
in HUKM,the paed posting is the worst posting, more than o&g posting. so i guess u guys a lil bit lucky on that paed posting..
i havent go tru this posting yet..so wish me luck..
Yeah, it’s true that paed is very enjoyable. But, only when I was in Temerloh. In HTAA, it is not fun anymore. Since there is only 1 paed ward in HTAA, the ward is so crowded, full of extension bed here and there. Not yet clerking the patient, u already had headache. The patient as well as the caretaker also easily become irritable. Besides, the HOD of the paed of the hospital is not very cooperative. He doesn’t allow us to follow the morning round. Furthermore, he doesn’t want any of us to clerk the patient or see the patient’s BHT when he is doing the round. The problem is we don’t know when he will start the round and when he is going to finish it. Huh.., it is a bit scary to be in the ward when he is around.
