Muar Hosp

Hmm...shouldn't make things sound so bad in the previous post. I'm sorry.

When things have gone too complicated sometimes, it is necessary to return back to innocence.

Oh ya, did I mention? Recently, had got myself into this local hospital attachment in Muar. Only one word for it, Tiring! Considering mine isn't exactly following a doctor's schedule, I'm already this dead. Hardest part is definitely to pull myself out from bed early in the morning at 7.30am. This attachment thingy, actually no one control wan. What time we want to go is totally up to us, since we have no specific duty to perform, merely follow doctors walk walk. But, this Muar hospital is smart enough. They gave us a punch card! Haiz... which explain why we need to be there early enough, to get our card punched!

Okay, after punched card, relieved! First week, paediatric ward. Doctors start making ward round at 8.30am. By rules, we have to be there and walk around with him. But instead of showing ourselves immediately in the kids' wards, what we do is ----> go cafeteria and eat breakfast. Food here very nice wan! Morning morning got all my favourites: sotong, birds' eggs, fry mee, chicken wings, milo tarik, and most importantly, Kuih Pelita! Only this place in Muar got, don't know why, almost like hospital copyrighto. Hehez. YuMm yumM~

Doctors here, the bigger their rank, the more un-doctorly they look like. If you see ahpek washing hand at clinics sink, and look like don't care don't care, highly chances he's the specialist there. Especially this paediatrics department's head, from outlook, you might thought, aiyah, this one sure aunty bring daughter come see doctor one, hair curly curly, plump plump, wear cincai cincai. But, not till she introduce herself in superb English. /faint. And fresh grads doctors, normally wear super smart with stethoscope on neck, and white coat over, maybe no choice also la, have to.

Today, in clinic, even more eye opening. Very different from angmoh's practice. The whole department, somehow only 2 consultation rooms have patient beds. We were in one of it. At first, one doctor consulting one patient. Kid ran around. Then 3 mins later, one nurse came in, said, 'doctor, boleh pinjam tu alat BP (blood pressure) tak?' After that, another person came in. This time, a doctor bringing another patient. Seems like there's no more room for consultation. So they are gonna share a room. But there's only one table in a room. Guess what, the newly came in doctor sat by the sink and start consulting patient! /faint. Next moment, another doctor came in too, with her patient + parents. We thought, she come in borrow space also. But there's no space anymore. She went to the patient bed and get the kid lied down, started on a neuro test on the bed. So, you can imagine, one small room, with 3 doctors, 3 kids, 3 pairs of parents and uncontrollable noise. Even better still, the next consultation room can link to ours by a door in between. And suddenly, a boy in the next room ran over and start walking around in our room like nobody's business. When we peek through the door, we saw a doctor talking to a mother, standing by a sink, and another 2 blur med students sitting opposite of the doctor.... What a sight!
