JUly plan

ICU 

Hmmm.. don't think i will be able to go to Ledang next month. Got to know that i will be posted to the General ICU ( Intensive Care Unit ) for 1 month in July ! haks..It'll be busy and tiring. The placement is a bit fast considering i'm still only 4 months old come JUly.Usually they'll post you after you're 6 months old. Well , i suppose kak zainah ( the roster maker ) loves to challenge me ! haks.. but i don't mind. In a way , i've been waiting to be trained in ICU.

Honestly , the reason why i joined Anaes was because of the ICU people. I remembered duirng my medical posting days , when the patient deteriorated ; we would call the ICU people to have a look and take over the patient from P2. Usually , when patient needs to be intubated and ventilated. The Anaes guys will always be SUPER COOL and see what's up and really cool managing the patient. One incident that i will never forget was when i was on call in CCU with Shakti. We had problems intubating one really fat patient. Tried multiple times ; with alternating defibrillating the patient as he went VF everytime we shoved in adrenaline. And then he came ( it was Rai.. heks.. ) he brought with him a small bag - and showed us.. haks.. McCoys laryngoscope.. memang cekap giller.. then , really liked his style and attitude. Almost all of them were like that !! Memang nampak kewl giller.. so i wanna be one lar.. hehehehehehe..

In ICU , the seniors told me i'll learn a lot managing the critically ill patients. The nirvana of medical care ; patients being almost 50-50 most of the time. Sounds scary in a way as death is almost always certain when one is admitted there.. Interesting eih ? It'll be busy and challenging , but that's what it is all about eih ? Kalau nak relax jer.. baik takyah jadik doctor..

Anyway , saw the DG again on tv today. dia ni media-savvy tul aah.. Apparently he announced that the government will not be recognizing CSMU in Ukraine for intake after December 2005. But the way he said it on tv , was really kewl i must say.He was always known to be a hardliner ; now being the DG i believe he is showing his colours ; which in a way upgrades the image of KKM .I suppose part of his vision on re"brand"ing The Ministry of Health towards ultimate professionalism. well, i don't mind having a DG like him - certainly boosting us ( doctors )image in public. * though dia jugaklah yg dok cakap nak tangkap doctors buat locum*
