Hospital's Diaries.........

Well well, i had joined the PROGRAM PENDEDAHAN KERJAYA SEORANG DOKTOR organised by JPA from 22th March (Mon) till 26th March (Fri) for this whole weeeeeeeeeeek..I think i am really lucky to be given this chance to join this programme. Guessss what??? there are a total of 76 candidates (mostly straight As students) joining this programme where as last year only bout 30++ of them joining..that means the number of ppl who want to join medic is getting more and more..and one more thing is..most of them are BUMIs..oh gosh..i think i have very low chance for getting the scholarship..lolz..but anyway, no matter i get the scholarship or not..i stil appreciate JPA for giving me this opportunity..=)
So, because of the large number of candidates, we were divided into 6 groups, 12 members each.
Well, number 2 is really MY number..i was in group 2..lolz..and my group members include LOG (the tall leader), TEN, NATASHA, JIMMY, BRIAN, RAHMAT, NISA, SABRINA, LIM, ERICA and REBECCA. (I was seperated from Mal..zz..oh btw, kch high only gt 5 ppl of us that are jeffrey, mal, daniel, yong huey and me) So, my group was really "Satu Malaysia", contain all kinds of races..lolz..but all of them are nice and friendly..XD
Btw, this was a good chance for me to improve my English too as i had to communicate with them in English..haha..XD
So..lets start with the event............=)

1st Day...
We started our journey with Klinik Pakar (Specialist Clinic). Specialist Clinic can be subdivided into many kinds of clinics and we only went to the 4 selected ones that are Orthopaedic, Obstetrics & Gynaelogy, Medical and Surgical. Well, it was the most boring day among the five days. There was nothing to see in the clinics as most of the patients are just going for the follow-up or check-up just like the normal clinic we go to when we are sick..We were wandering and looking here and there, looking at the doctors checking their patients. We got to see how the specialists talk and deal with the patients..and i only realized that housemanships are just like the doctors or the specialists' maid, doing whatever their boss asking without any complain..So, we just stood aside there waiting for the specialists as they were really very very very busy. We only got the chance to interview the specialists after they finally finished dealing with the patients..And, the results of the interview are as follow :~
(1) Become a doctor is VERY STRESS, PRESSURE, BUSY, NO time, have to SACRIFICE alot including our family, friends, freedom, life ESPECIALLY during housemanships..lolz..
(2) Doctor's life = NO LIFE
Well, most of the doctors are discouraging us from becoming a doctor. Most of them especially the young housemanships are regretted too..They kept on telling us how hard it is to become a doctor..they told us the way the specialists scolded them loudly infront of the patients. Some specialists even scolded them those "bad words" infront of everyone..Many of the housemanships even quit as they could not stand the pressure..and some even cry out..
Well, after this day, my mind and heart were kinda influenced by their words. I thought of changing my dream and career. What they said are really SO DISCOURAGING!!!...Are they purposely wanna scare us or is it the truth of becoming a doctor?? It sounds like so tough and scary..lolz..>.< 2nd Day...
Yea, we went to klinik pembedahan (surgical clinic) this day. Surgical clinic includes 4 sections,that are general surgery, hepatology, urology and plastic surgery. Besides, it contains 3 wards that are male surgical ward, female surgical ward and neurosurgical ward. So, we were further divided into 3 small groups and i went to the male surgical ward. Inside the ward, all kind of patients are lying on the bed. The scene are totally different from the one we went yesterday and it is the scene that we usually see in tv shows. The nurse explained to us about the ward and gave us advices about the career as a doctor. She also introduced us to some of the houseman. It's great that most of the housemans are CHINESE and they are mostly GIRLS..lol..=) btw, i realized that all the houseman in the hospital are so pretty =) haha..=) So, we started to ask them questions about doctor's life and what they usually do as a doctor..well, we got the same answers from them, that are regret, stress, no life, no time and so on that i had mentioned before..oh well well well, i can memorize the answer already after listen so many times..lolz..
And, one more thing is..all of the doctors for sure asking us a question that is :~

WHY DO U WANT TO BECOME A DOCTOR???

Well, last time, maybe i could answer you ask fast as possible, but if u ask me this question now..i am sorry that i don know what should be my answer..lolz..know why??
(1) If you say it is your interest...well, the doctor will answer u, interest is not enough for u to become a doctor..ZZZ
(2) If you say you want to earn money...well, the doctor wil answer u, sorry, if u want to earn money, please dont step into this field, you should go engineer, pharmacy, business man and others and doctor is DEFINITELY NOT a job for earning money..LOLZ
(3) If you say you want to save life and help people...well, the doctor wil ask you better go become a social worker or just donate money for the hospital, no need to become a doctor..SWT
(4) If you say you want to have a better life...well, the doctor will tell you..sorry, become a doctor will not have a better life, instead, u will have NO LIFE...faintz..
So, if u are me, what will be your ans now??? I reli hate this question now..lolz..it's time for me to come out with a good answer dy..XD
Oh yea, i was totally influenced by a patient while i went to the neurosurgical ward and he is the one who have changed back my mind and be determined to become a doctor..
He is Nelson, a bumi..He is younger than me one year and he is involved in an accident. He injured his head and his skull is cracked and his brain fluid flow out. He lost his memory and his body cant move at all after that. But, after the treatment, he is getting better now. He is now able to move his hand after going through the physiotherapy. Although he is very pain, but he does not give up at all. He tries his best to recover. When he saw us, he even thumb up his finger to show us that he is fine. I was so touched and i felt so sorry after seeing his condition. I even saw how the physiotherapist treated him. At that moment, i was totally awakened and only then i know how noble the doctors are..Although become a doctor is really very hard but when u see how the patients thank you and appreciate all your hardworks, you will forget how much effort, time and energy you have put in and u will feel so satisfying after the patients recover..
So, that are what i had learned after seeing Nelson..and i have made up my mind now..I WANT TO BECOME A DOCTOR and I WANT TO HELP THE PATIENTS!!! I WANT TO SEE THEIR SMILEY FACES!!! =)

(P.S : this is the day i nearly faint..haha..XD)

I believe that every job have its own challenges, risks and hardnesses..BUT if we work hard on it..i am SURE that we can go throught every obstacles and achieve the success =)

If doctor is really YOUR CUP OF TEA and if you really have STRONG INTEREST in it..then..u SHOULD just GO AHEAD and DONT LOOK BACK and REGRET in future =)

If you ENJOY THE JOB, you will be HAPPY and FORGET ALL THE HARDNESS and STRESS..
If you KEEP ON COMPLAINING, for sure u WONT BE HAPPY with your job and u will REGRET..

So, BEFORE u step into it and make up your decision, THINK CAREFULLY...

IS IT THE LIFE U WANT IN FUTURE???

So, that is what i had done for the first 2 days of the programme..it is really a very long story as i really learned so many things through this programme..I get to know and get many new knowledges and experiences that i never know before..
For the next three days, i will upload it for the next post..if not this post will be too long dy..haha..XD
