2nd day Posting

Are you ready? *pfft*

Well, the morning started off with CME or Continuous Medical Education. This is where there would be a presentation of either new or improved medical knowledge of all sorts of sub-fields.

After that, we straight away went to Ward 7B (continuing with our ward rounds). Today we decided to follow a different doctor instead. Dr.Mithra! *During the first day, the head nurse told us that 2 specialist is in charge of the ward, Dr.Rosmaizah and Dr. Mithra. She also told us that Dr.Mithra is the fierce one!! She explicitly said "Dr tu boleh buat Houseman menangis!" ERKKKK!! wowh! Tht's why we decided to follow on with Dr. Nurul yesterday *The HO that walks around with Dr.Rosmaizah.*

Today, we met with Dr. Jayan. He's super awesome indeed. He is still a houseman. He follows Dr.Mithra around. At first we hesitated, but then Dr. Jayan insisted that we follow along. ALhamdulillah, that was the best decision we made that morning. Not only we got to meet with new patients from the other half of the ward, Dr.Mithra herself is suuuupppeeerrrr awesome! She is strict, yes, but her teaching was like *jaw-drops* WOW! WOW, I TELL YA! AT THE END OF THE DAY, ALL OF US FELL IN LOVE WITH HER! SHE WAS JUST, THAT GOOD!
*smilesssssssss wideeeeeelyyy*

We learned a lot today, and certainly need to revise up on other facts that we learned. I love being posted at Internal Medicine! At least, the language and phrases can be easily picked up!
Plus, Dr.Mithra checks her patients very thoroughly! She even performs PE on almost all of her patients!

There was this one super interesting neuro case, of which Dr.Mithra does the Neuro PE, and all of us observed. *drools upon her awesomeness*

I certainly wanna be as good as her. She is amazing at picking up the smallest details. She is also highly concerned of all of her patients. She rejects unnecessary medications and test that is to be done on a patient. She thinks clearly before ordering a test, or repeating a test, or administering a medication.
She does not like to waste government money on unnecessary things as said. Wow. I mean, other doctors would simply wanna be on the safe side and start off on all different test just so that they would not miss anything. Her method was trying to get the full picture of the patient first and their vitals before any further investigations.

I have got a lot to learn right now. Signing off! :)
