HOship - medical posting - what to expect

 assalamualaikum w.b.t...


1st meal on day 1 at 2300H


its been sooo long since i last sharing kat sini..
after finish medschool and started my HO-ship rasanya i rarely mencurah disini :D

now me dah esok lusa nak start new journey ni, lemme share my 2cents of my HO journey here..
untuk kenangan diri sendiri and if anyone rasa nak baca sharing ehe

so,,,
my 1st posting as houseman was in medical department..
a department that i love waktu i intern (2017) as well as waktu i medical school

minat bukan sebab its easy, tapi ramai yang i jumpa baik2 in medical department..haha
even waktu i internship back in 2017 pun, i jumpa lots of nice people in medical department..

before anything, i would say that i sangat glad i dapat medical as my 1st posting :D

-----------

so, where should i begin >,< banyak nak share ni

i started my junior Dr journey at ward perempuan medical..
it was exciting + scary at the same time
before this as medical student selalunya tengok je Drs buat apa kan..kita tunggu nak sign cop je..
but the reality is now before my eyes..

in medical, leader ho yang akan divide duk ward mana, jaga cub mana etc..
and waktu my batch begin our posting tu actually tengah ada takde je ho..cukup, tapi tak ramai..cukup2 makan jela..takdela tak cukup sangat..

my 1st cubicle - acute cubicle
ada senior sorang situ, tapi senior pulak EL on my 1st day kerja tu..maka yeah..im all alone di acute cubicle 
tapi i asked another senior to come and guide me jugak..sebab acute cubicle, i dont wanna do anything 'not wise'on my day 1.. and i dont want to cari pasal with my superiors as well..prevention is better than cure remember?

so my 1st day i just review, sign cop medications je..still adapting to the system itself..

my day 2 - speed on top already..on day 2 dah start jaga cubicle sendiri2, and my 1st task was peritoneal tapping..my MO need to go to clinic that morning, and the only ho for that particular cubicle was me..so nak taknak i jela yang ada to settle all the active plan before tengah hari..

so begitulah..did my peritoneal tapping as 1st 'huge task'on day 2..

after that, takde apa dah alasan boleh bagi..buat je semua..the key is, buat je..under kewarasan maksima and be humble enough to ask if u dont know ofcourse..jangan memandai buat apa yang u pun unsure..

as for me, plus point a bit is, sebab most of the procedures i biasa buat waktu i intern back in 2017..so bila kena buat ituini, i just ingat balik back in 2017 je..alhamdulillah..

the hardest part is - to understand the system itself..what do's and donts..
u just came in a biggg company (kkm) which has different branch (hospitals)..and each branch ada rules dia masing2..
waktu medical school, u practical at different kind of hospital..rules in each pun lain2..so u will be confused by time nak buat anything tu eh tiber kena marah sebab salah ituini..

and that's where the kind senior is needed actually..
and im blessed with ramai kind seniors alhamdulillah..

what i disappointed the most is, bila kena marah out of nowhere without any input..
"u are wrong, but i dont wanna tell u which part, and what to do to make it correct"
begitulah umpamanya..
thats the most saddest part..

medical is a nice posting to begin ur housemanship..as u will learn most of the basic procedures here..
branula, ABG, blood cns, peritoneal tapping, cvl insertion, femoral catheter, artline, cpr, intubation etc2..everything ada sini..

oh lupa, i started my HO waktu bulan puasa..so, the struggle is kinda real..
tapi sebab busyyyyy maka puasa pun tak terasa sangat..sebab memang baseline tak sempat nak makan pun..so puasa je..

best part is - dapat makanan free (bayar, tapi sikit sangat kena bayar tu for the whole 1 month)
so everytime waktu buka puasa kitorang ambik foods kat pantry, makan ramai2..
tiberr ada yang collapsed, lari pun berjemaah to cpr pt..
bitterSweet memories indeed..

pernah sekali taksempat pun nak berbuka..pukul 8pm still lagi struggle duk cari vein edematous pt yang tengah unstable..sudahnya jam 12am baru balik..
yes, i balik jam 11pm paling awal waktu kat medical posting..
1st posting, tengah risau tertinggal kerja etc lagi..but sometimes memang the whole situation itself yang tak membenarkan to balik awal..serba salah, so stay je to complete kerja..balik just to shower, tidur kejap then bangun pergi kerja lagi..

there's a lot memories to share satu2..insyaAllah if sempat i share satu2 yang mana lekat di memori in another entry..

papepun, medical posting has its own soft spot to me..
the one that teach me on how to be a real Dr..
cc to my helpful seniors and superiors too..dalam 2,3 yang bagi upset tu, ramaii lagi yang sangat3 membantu alhamdulillah..

---------------

what to expect in medical posting as fresh grad Dr?
-u will be crying on how to understand the system itself, srsly..the hardest part of the growth is to understand the system..so inhale, learn slowly..dont expect to know everything in a day..u will understand, but not in a day.. take ur time..
-branula? okay je if takdapat awal2, sekali poke..we will always wanna do everything at one go.. if dapat on one try, alhamdulillah..if not, its normal..dapat pulak ur 1st pt is an edematous esrf pt..lagila kena be nice to urself <3
-other procedures? dont rush everything.. u will learn, u will get that opportunity..take ur time, takperlu gopoh..but always willing to learn

rate: 4/5

end of second journey

 assalamualaikum w.b.t...






finally..after years of journey, the second journey end 🤍

12 years
its not a short period of time..but i still remember the moment when i began my first step into the journey..it was in early 2011 - after sketching a bit here and there of the path i chose to walk on, i told umiabah first..yes, im not making the decision alone by being selfish as some claim..im the one who choose the number..not that im being forced; but neither im forcing my ego..i know its gonna be a long roller coaster journey even before i step into my decision..its not only about the long journey, there will be a lot of sacrifices as well..so, umiabah should be the first to know and say yes..

"umiabah redha tak?"

and that yes, was the biggest thing that gave me strength till date 🤍 in whichever situation, whatever decision i make along the journey as well, no matter how small it seems, those blessings was my strength..as His blessings come with my umiabah's blessings..so that when things got hard and harder, i know i will always have Him, my parents, and my family behind my back..

"He never put u in a path that does not belongs to u"

theres always time that make u kneeled, make u feel like u cant walk anymore..the world seems to be collapsed before ur eyes..but by believing that He always there for u, every steps to get up and started walking again, feels less heavy insyaAllah..always put Him first before everything..talk to Him, ask Him to make it firm for u when ur mind seems miserable and confused..

thankyou Allah, for lending me the strength 🤍
thankyou umiabah, for all those doa 🤍
thankyou my family,  for always believing in me 🤍 
and thankyou my dear self as well, for enduring so much of everything that only He knew and make it till the end 🤍

not everyone need to know the whole story of what u going through..some stories better left untold..enough that He knows..

we all have our own stories..the future is never certain, but as we live in the presence, lets appreciate the moments and never lose faith..

for those who still struggling, believe that your time will come..have faith, you will get through it, insyaAllah
