It's been a long time since my last post!

Had been busy over the days... 6 weeks in clinical, but for me, there are just too many holidays in between. so, my 6 weeks gonna be equivalent to 5 weeks. But i still need to do 6 weeks works.. so, what i can do is just rushing to finish everything. But.. my counselling form only reach 29 n it's already end of 4th wk, which i should have done 40 actually. So, i m really lag behind. Next 2 weeks, i m alone in clinical, all my colleagues graduated from clinical dy! omg. No one for me to enquire for..

It's really stress here. I can feel that i really dunno anything. counselling oso no one teach me, also dunno if i did counsel the patient correctly or not. Cause a lot of things i think need experience, i can't imagine what my patient will ask me, n i think i sure dunno how to answer one! N when doctors asked me, i also can't directly gif him/her a definite answer. Cause i scared what i say is wrong, so i need help... help from TDM ppl. That day, so lucky that i met my TDM colleague in surgical ward. N he helped me to solve a query! Doctor asked me a ques, n i flip thru my BNF.. n there isn't any dose recommendations. So, i asked the doctor to call DIC.. oo. i really cha.. stress la. All the local uni's graduates are really geng. You can really feel that IMU ppl are different one, Erm, cannot say IMU ppl la, should just say me alone!! i needa learn more!

Surgical ward's experience really different! i like it though cos i encountered a lot of weird surgical terms! So, i have to always find out the meaning for all the surgocal procedures terms, which i think is quite interesting! N i needa always go back to medical ward just to find cases for counselling. For the last week experience in surgical ward, few of my patients expired! That's sad! A patient came in with stroke gets worse n expired due to the reason of intracranial bleed with sepsis. I really felt pity for his family. His wife said why can he gets worse after days n days though few days before was still ok! ... So, conclusion, don't ever get into my hosp... better don stay in crowded ward as there are outbreaks of MRSA and ESBL, which are fatal!!!

Left 2 weeks in clinical. That's fast. Going to Beringgis this thurs till sunday! N i still need to study for 2 thick books... forensic exam on 26th nov. Can't spend too much time doing non-sense dy! K la. Healty healthy healthy lo....

Life as a PRP

Hello everyone. For your information, i am currently working in Queen Elizabeth Hospital, currently at Clinical Pharmacy department! That's not a good starting point (to be in the Clinical Pharm department) as i really dunno about DRUGS. 1st day report myself, the 1st prp i get to know is Ray, then 2nd one is frp - Ng. Who knows, Ng became my preceptor! He is too super cool, and serious! I m really scared of him! He put me under Wee, who is also a prp... m lucky to work with her in the same ward for this week. But next week onwards, i will have to start to be independent, working alone!!!! It's really hard and i need to clerk 90 cases in 6 weeks, 15 per week. But today is already thursday but i only get to clerk 6 cases only, and my target is 15!!! Tmr shud work faster!

There r 24 prps in Queen Elizabeth Hospital! That's a bit too many! Heard that every hospital can maximally accomodate 20 prps, but who knows in QE, there r 24 of us! Mr Lee, head of pharm, told me: "Hopefully u r the last to report!!! " Reason: Cause there is really too many of us there already, and it will be congested if anymore coming in!!! And most of them are from Semenanjung M'sia... n i m not very sure how many are locals... till now i know is that there r 3 locals, include me n Van. Oh, btw, those from west m'sia also mostly girls... n i notice one thing, i m the youngest... ! n also the last to report!

There is really a lot of things to do in QE. Presentations n CPE (continuing pharmacy education) to be attended, n i got not much time to clerk my cases dy! Tmr got CME (continuing medical education) n my colleague did told me n seems like they r interesting to go as well!! oo.. there is really a lot!!! Starting nov, i will have to give classes on Hypertension, give to patients by group! oh... n then next yr ogos, i will have to give classes on asthma.

Btw, there r also a lot of activities to participate. My colleagues are organising Paintball this Sat, but i think i won't be going. Coming coming week, there will be water-rafting, n some of them plan to go to Labuan as well!!! They are really efficient in planning things! Ok. Not jus playing... talks as well... end of this month, there will be a talk on dunno wat, in Promenade hotel for 3 hrs. I think i will b going. Then, 1st nov till 4th nov, there will also be kursus in Beringgis Beach Resort, n heard from boss, it's free of charge and transportation will be provided as well!! Wow, that's good, rite?? haha... Oh, that's kursus for Forensic exam n i will be taking the exam in november! Boss also said that Sabah one very good, the organiser will provide everything for this kursus free of charge, n also free of charge for those from tawau n sandakan also, heard is including airtickets as well... so good, rite??? hahaha.. n then oh, n today i saw the list of all prps in Sabah, i think there r 24 of us in KK, 6-8 in Sandakan n 5 in Tawau... really a lot of us in KK. But very lucky is that i still get KK though i m already the extra ones!!! haha.. so do vanessa, n so do the 21st, n 22nd prps..... hahhaha


ok ok.. there is a lot to learn!!!! i need to go study lo.. c u guys!!!
