professionalism

hola. i just want to rant out about something..  about this.  a part of me - is against this statement.  the fact that when encountering a patient, doctor/s need to listen to their complaint, their history of complaint, past medical history, history of hospital admission, any drugs history, allergy history, family history and social history yadayada. then proceed to relevant investigations according to the complaint the patient presented with. and then only come out with diagnosis. usually they would pick up the most common first. by means, you wouldnt be suspecting rare diseases first. sooo from the list of possible diseases (differential diagnosis) you just pick the most common diseases that relevant to the signs and symptoms, and as suggested from the results of the investigations done. treat by the first choice first.  some would say, 'ni je buat?' because it seems to be very lack of effort, but yea. to avoid unnecessary waste of resources. annndd as in the case ...

milk teeth

hellooo! how's everyone doing? *cupping one hand behind ear *crickets sound* ..  okay. sounds great guys! *nervous chuckles sooo now is 11:36pm and i am not even sleepy yet eventhough i had a longgggg day today. so before my eyes begging to sleep, i am going to rant a little about dental stuffs since it is weekday and i see people's teeth on a daily basis. (well you basically do that too. if you talk to people lah *smirk) like the title suggested.. i am going to talk about.. milk teeth.  why this topic? to be honest, i sort of having traumatic flashback about this one patient that i encountered in clinic last week. she was 3 years old girl, presented with recurrent swelling of gum on her upper front teeth. her mother complaint that she had multiple episodes of pain which causing her to stay awake at night, crying.  sooo a little fact check,  milk teeth start to erupt as early as 6 months old and completed by 3 years old. it could be varies but this is the common rang...

expect less

*knock knock* anybody's here..?  .. okay cool. it's safe to rant out.  soo earlier tonight, i went to a place accompanying my mother and my aunt for solat hajat. not a masjid, but it's an open space whereby people gathered there for performing solat jamaah - solat hajat and isya' for tonight. since it is an open space, i can see all jemaah lelaki and of course, the imam. aaaand there's a kitten wandering around this one guy. from afar, i can see that he treated the kitten well. he just pushed it away lightly whenever the kitten gets too excited rubbing his fluffy head at the guy's elbow. everything looks fine and peaceful until.. *insert a suspence music background* until.. the poor kitten decided to rub his head to the imam's forearm. unexpectedly, the guy straight up pushed the cat away with the force that would throw the poor cat about 1 meter away. not gonna lie, my mom and i were quite taken aback. the guy at the back of the imam immediately stood up an...

still walking

helo.  how's everyone doing now? great? cool cool. keep doing that, you look good.  this is just another post of 'hi-im-just-dropping-by'. to be honest, i don't really know what should i post here on blogspot. should i post something informative or just to keep it personal - as for my so-called online diary.  but here i am, just some random rants every now and then.  as for my life update, i'm currently still in my routine of boring-working-life. but to highlight some, i was with pusat pemberian vaksin (PPV) for 2 weeks in early august. not gonna lie, it was suuuuch an experience. i get to poke someone's shoulder.. with needles.. *insert smirk-creepy-smile* :P the work was fun, in a way. i don't know, though i am an introvert, i do enjoy meeting people at the facility. i enjoy seeing their excitedness and whatever reaction that they have towards getting vaccinated. elders.. youngsters.. all of them, with different kind of vibes each. this one incident at PPV...

bahasa

hello. i hope everyone is doing ok in coping with pandemic. eventhough i'm not (mentally), but i hope everyone else is doing well.  this is just another once-in-a-while-rant, just to keep my blog updated. so yesterday i was having quite a conversation with my sister - about language. she was doing an assignment about it. she picked the title by herself - about how bahasa melayu menyatukan pelbagai kaum di Malaysia. surprisingly, when she mentioned about it, i have this thought inside my head for a quite some time now. not specifically about that topic, but it is about the use of Bahasa Melayu, in general. ok soo brief idea about the topic, let us start with the general one - of how Bahasa Melayu as a lingua franca, which means it has been used as a tool of communication between people with different native languages. bahasa melayu has been used worldwide, a long time ago. how wonderful it is, that people appreciate Bahasa Melayu at the top, that they were willing to learn and pract...

new phase

hello and salam. how is everyone doing? good? cool cool. stay good. i've been ignoring this website for a quite some time now. it's time for another rant i guess. my last post was on January, which is almost 3 months ago. i can't quite say there's a lot of things happened, but there was something happened here and there.  as the title suggested, i'm about to enter a new phase of life. a working life! phew~ after 5 months of being unemployed, with doing absolute nothing and a complete one month of being a research assistant - i can't guarantee my mind and my sedentary-body are ready for a 8-to-5-working-hour. quite a wreck to even think about. but like that one famous quote said, "We will never be ready until we start." so i guess i'm just going to jump in whatever holes that come in front of my eyes. (is that even possible? but yea) i'm excited and terrified, all at once.  and for the record.. this is my new placement,  yep, going to be working...

new year, new resolution?

hola. today is... twel-- wait, twelfth of January?? whew. i was late to the party. okay so, how is everyone doing? great? good. keep on doing great as you already are.  i've been meaning to write this post earlier but i got distracted by few other unnecessary things. so here i am after days of procrastinating stuffs here and there, trying to squeeze my brain so that i could write something here.  so last year, or few weeks ago - i have read a book by Aiman Azlan (acclaimed author and youth mentor) titled Unfollow the Flow. honest opinion about the book: excellent, well-described and well put. i can say that it is quite easy for me to grasp the concepts that he mentioned in the book. logical and realistic kind of approach. as the author described the book, it is on how to 'owning your life - driven by passion and purpose.' soo briefly about the book, (mind you, this is just my point of view) it covers about how to take things one step at a time. identify who you are, what yo...
