fuh habis gak exam posting ni…. serius… this one is the toughest exam that i ever had before…. today i got a 41 year old lady para 4 last delivered 8/2, history of acute decompensate pulmonary oedema due to heart failure after pueperium, was been treated, got cva in the ward and currently on warfarin… admitted due to vagina bleeding… kuang kuang kuang…. aduh…. diagnosis…? hypocoagulation state due to warfarin ingestion, normal menses and lastly to rule malignancy and dysfunctional uterine bleeding… pelepum pelepang pelepeng… hahahhaah additional disaster from that extravanganza case? yup my examiner was not datuk siva, but our lovely dr sulaiha…. gosh when i got the case i was a little bit takut but not damn takut… as dr sheila said that datuk siva will come at 2 o’clock, so i know that i have time to read inside out about the warfarin thinging…. so i helped calvin, being his chaperone, and when i wanted to restart my clerking, tub tub dr sulaiha came and said u have 5 minutes more to clerk… i liked huh? but i supposed to be under datuk siva… i like gosh helped me… luckily dr sulaiha gave me another 10 minutes, mayb calvin told her that he borrowed me to be his chaperone… but since i knew that she would be my examiner… my heart beating like 110 beat per minutes… muy brain shut down… and i just finished my physical examination as much that i can… and i could remember….
tada at last it was my turn…. gosh… it was damnly terrified… at first i still could give reasons but after she asked more and more and more i like gosh am i digging my own grave or what…
her question? first of all she asked me why do u think that this woman has thromboembolism…? kuang kuang kuang… my answered… one most stupid answer dvt… however this patient had cva due to heart embolism not lung maa so that kira i started to dig my grave… but i cover it up… i said i also wanna rule out artrial fibrillation …. maybe due to hyperthyroidism… and i said i confirm it by physical examination which no sign of hyperthyroidism… so lastly i said maybe she has already heart valve disorder like rheumatic as she origines from indon maaa… untill then br she asked me something else… through the exam it liked i dig my grave deeper and crawl out sometime and sometime dig again and it continuous…
conclusion….
1… i should be more calm next time.. so then i can rearrange my presentation… thing about differential diagnose… thing about management and lastly thing about the outcome…however today i was damnly over stress my self i couldnt even think how to present my case or how to organize it.. that was really2 a disaster… i took a lot of time to reorganize which ultimately i forgot to prepare my management… so my management including investigation is upside down
secondly.. i find that the knowledge is in my brain just i have to think and think and think., put it in the correct manner and speak it .. i feel blessed to get dr sulaiha as my examiner… otherwise i dont know that i m not that stupid… it is there.. just need time to think and dont talk before think… answering a question is not for the sake of answering and if kena kenalah if not die… but answering is an effort make to relate all the knowledge and experience that we have an apply it to that patient…seriously i realy supprised how most of the question i could answer… n i also find that personally i should think my answer firsr before i answer…
yesterday when i personally met her i still didnt understand what her comment to my performance… but today, i got an example what i m supposed to do and whAT i should not do… the very2 obvious she said i always talk before think.. i always think that i have an advantage in languistic where my idea can come just like that… so that make me think that i can do the same in medic…. but it is not like that… i should learn to think properly… as this is a fact not a fiction…
before we dissmised she said that first i did quite well by reasoning, explaining but after that i become back to square one… my opinion..? i didnt think the second part that she asked so mulalah mengelabah and melalut… hehehehehe…. so , relax and think… heheheh
