another exam finished

ALHAMDULILLAH.

the 2nd viva is over. good thing my name was among the early ones and i didn't have to wait too long for my turn. keresahan yang amat lah waiting to be interviewed ni. i was extra worried coz altho i was very anxious, i was also yawning at the same time. i don't think the doctor would have liked that.

my family medicine viva was with dr sam and dr soe. there were 3 questions; on erectile dysfunction, brief intervention for quitting smoking and also on screening programme. the doctor gave me so many hints when i struggled to answer. baik nya. when it was over, i don't think my prognosis is too bad. i hope i manage to get a pass.

yesterday, the doctors helped me out a few times when i couldn't answer the mcq or PMP. sayang doctor.

now, what's next? ORTHOPAEDICS.

BUT, before that i have to do a one-week forensics attachment at Klang Hospital. Doing the posting in ramahdan, i guess i'll be less likely to feel nauseated, coz there won't be any food in the stomach.

i hope i can appreciate better the next days of ramadhan. the evening revision discussions lasting up to iftar menyebabkan memang tak rase sgt puasa. tau2 je dah berbuka.

i can't wait to see kak yung, little munchkin, kak ngah n her kids n everyone else.

yay, my exams are over!

one down, one more to go

i've just finished my first viva for public health with dr janal and dr syeikh farid. . takut gile. high adrenal, heart pumping fast, legs couldn't sit still. alhamdulillah it wasn't as scary as i'd imagined it. dr j went all out to make me feel comfortable. i passed my mcq , yay!

i have another viva at 2pm today, on family medicine. orait gotto go prepare.

the end of jalan2 and going to clinics

alhamdulillah..

at last the presentation of the results of our study is over and done with. but alas, that does not mean that our work is done. we have to rectify our report. based on the lecturers' comments just now, quite a lot had to be corrected. alhamdulillah all that can be done after the exams.

yep, my friends, it's that time again. the period when the immune system goes down and stress levels are high. a time where conversion disorder is prevalent and coffee is consumed in great doses. it's exam time.

it's revision week now. and like all revision weeks, i begin to wonder on how much i actually gained from the whole posting. publich health was full of trips and visits in which we were supposed to learn about preventive health while family medicine was a blur of clinics, video presnetations, seminars and case write ups. this is the only posting with the most number of nights yang tak tido langsung or tidur sangat sikit to complete my case write ups and also research project. immune system memang low gile. lepas ni masuk ortho plak. good thing we have a considerable amount of holiday to recuperate and just be malas.

but before that can happen, i have to face those dreaded exams.

pray for me please sempena bulan ramadhan yg berkat lagi mulia ini.
