It'll be my third day tomorrow in UMMC OT.Here I am in an institution whose status pronounces grandiousity and overwhelming. My impression.. well.. haks.. lets just say I'll reserve my comments till i graduate. Let me go through the system first safely.. and then will I be frank with my opinion. Besides that , I'm still new so let me grow and mature with what is present here. I did my first eye list on Monday.. and well..well.. I was shocked to see my ventilator !! haks.. I'll be doing the ECT list tomorrow which will be one of the light lists over here.Thank god for that.
We had our orientation last week ; met most of the Professors in the Anaesthesia department. They are certainly smart and that is why they are the professors !! haks.. For the first time in many years ; we will have 12 trainees at one time. Usually they'll have only 5 - 8 people in a batch in the first year. KKM was certainly kind this year providing extra trainees compared to the yesteryears. I don't know all of them yet that well but i reckon i will get to know them in my coming four years here..
By reputation , Anaesthesia in MU is very demanding and challenging at the same time. Horror stories about the working hours and the kind of job that you do is certainly true. The teaching staff here admits that as well and it makes you wonder more about your decision !! haks.. Looking at the bright side , I suppose it is better to go in with certain negative expectation so that you can prepare mentally to pull yourself through.When something goes wrong , you'll be prepared for the worst and maybe able to recover succesfully. It will depend on how strong one's will will be.. Alamak... kenapa macam ni ha ???
The passing rate is not encouraging but people have done it before.When you think about it , of course it;ll be more justified to have specialists to be right 80-90% about their actions and treatment of the time rather than the iffy 50-50 ones !! I;ve seen the specialists who were previously trained here and they are the kewl joes that i admire.. Hopefully i will be one of them in the near future.
Here goes eih... 4 years of roller coaster ride..
