Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri!!



Maaf Zahir Dan Batin

here's to all who know me, and know me well enough to frequent this blog, even though it's been irregularly updated since the past 3 years - thank you

Im now a houseman in HTAR Klang,in the medical department, living in the hostel for 1 year
Im working 7 days a week, seven to eight on calls a month, with about 10 days of holidays for 4 months (including this 5 day Hari Raya break, which was a miracle i could get 5 days)

I had a needle prick incident on my 3rd or 2nd week of work...the patient was restrained by two policemen but still managed to kick me lightly- enough to cause the needle prick as i was setting his brenula. So currently Im on meds, Combivir to be exact..and boy does it have side effects
lesson of that day: assess the patient you're going to prick first

i've learnt a lot more but it would take too long to list everything.



A little advice for my dear juniors in Russia:

...lepas 3rd year try la wat attachment, especially kat hosp tertiery/besar
biasekan diri ngan hosp2 kite, sistem2 kite
aku blaja sistem rusia je..pening stat keje
tapi rugi la klu kite tolak sistem tempat kite blaja sendiri...byk bende yg bagus kat dlm sistem rusia...


(i copied it from a recent YM chat...got too lazy to rewrite everything)

PS: no i dont have a car yet, I'm not planning anything except trying to do my job right (and finishing off those discharge summaries piling up), I received my first rounded up paycheck about a week ago (found out yesterday), and I disowned my last camera and gave it to my sister who's going to USA next year, so currently I don't have anything to record vids and pics with...too bad


have a great hari raya everyone, hope you had a nice ramadhan this year

Alhamdulillah....you sound well adjusted I daresay despite all the not-so-kind stories I heard all around. But needle prick accident? Tsk tsk tsk...please be careful...double gloved if you must!

How does it feel to have your first pay check? :P
