PLease answer somebody.....

supposedly civilized people in tertiary education centre turn out to b barbaric after all.... wanted to make some cynical remarks here but afraid tat ISA will come after me, even though with the internet nic ...

take a look at this videoclip , happened inUPM...

sad... whats this country coming to?

remember the big fat red shirted thugs face, he'll probably be a minister someday....

ngou, apparently it is not so weird. The incidence of laryngeal/ hypopharynx ca is higher up north. that is what my specialist said. good la, got eayly training, see one, assist one and do one! haha

dunno what happened in Sg Petani.
had lots of laryngeal/ hypopharyns CA lately......had total laryngectomy almost every week for nearly 2mths....had to go home late(>9pm) nearly every op day although not oncall.......sa cham...after having good life for so long..post op care is even more troublesome..

weird patient with weird stuff do exist.....
recently removed a piece of rusted nail from a guy's nasal cavity which had been inside there for >50 YEARS!!!! but he presented to me only c/o tongue pain!!. i check his nose as well as he c/o rarelt had min epistaxis, but no other nasal s/s. So dudes, weird stuff do happened, check all places that we think should be check whenever we see our patient...hehe...

i also didnt go for BTN... crossing my fingers.. dun plan to go...he.he.

i m confirmed without the BTN
and last year application for Masters did not state that we nd to go thru BTN before application - but. this things may change. i havent gone for BTN yet

ngou: only for those who didn't go for the BTN during their induction.

???aikk?? i thot v oredi went to BTN when attending induksi?? still hav to go again ah??

yeeling is going to BTN at pantai chenang, langkawi island.
hey guys, know who else is going? 4-8 july. She is the only one from Jb hosp. And pengarah let her claim 'gantian kapal terbang'.

BTN: it's actually in the circular that BTN is necessary for confirmation. but mostly applied to those who has not done their induction and they usually go for both at a time.

I just came back from BTN in Ulu Sepri, Rembau. It was great. we had it together with the jabatan penjara which was a blessing in disguise. Admittedly or not, doctors are not a very boisterous bunch. The prison officers surely lightened up the sessions. There was no brainwashing at all ( unless my skull too thick and i didn't get their brainwashing). No sensitive issues touched. Mainly more on how we should be loyal govt officers which i think is ok. Food not too great as i think they may have catered from my hosp - yucks and living conditions were so-so. We slept in double decker beds and had to share toilets like in UM hostel. We had separate cubicles and shower!!! (Expectations weren't to great)

Scenery was great. Surrounded by forest and had a river run through the camp site. Had line dancing instead of marching. Exams were logical and Kembara was fantastic! Best of all it actually rained. nice!

The truth is, i actually forced the JKNS to send me for BTN because I was tired of tagging daily - HAHA. Anyways, I have no regrets going and thankfully, my tagging finishes this thur!

To those who are contemplating bout going for BTN, better get it done now as it's better to go with ppl u r familiar with. As for my current group, I was with my juniors. still ok. Later, our bones will be less nimble and our brain may not be able to withstand the brainwashing as experienced in the other states. Go with open mind, and enjoy 5 days work-free and crap-talking!

Eh-hem, I see budding politicians here. By the way, are you guys compounding your lack of sleep by watching the world cup?
Carren, good to hear that you got what you wanted. How's Shin Yi? Has she applied for transfer?
Alan, long time no hear from you except for that utterly true sms on top 9 reasons why somebody wants to become a doctor. Are you still in Kuala Pilah?
Ah Ngou, long time no hear too.
Hope to hear more good news all around (people getting married, passing exams etc.)

many of our ancestors ran away from china generation ago.
does it mean that we have to do the same thing again.
we were born here for good or bad, we must not give it away easily.
if i were to die on this land of malaysia, i will fight for it not only for me but for our future generations.
so stay or migrate? still proud to be m'sia?

wa yap... DAP supporter?

what's in the blog is true, and i think most people knows it, consciously or subconsciously... the question is... what are we going to do or what can we do about it?

are we going to sit back idly and hope for the better, or leave the country for the dogs and run away...

are we willing to fight for change? however hard and impossible it may seem?

q: do all of us need to go for btn? any implication if not go ah? coz purposely didnt apply for this year. lazy to go. n stupid confirmation plus apc is stil stuck in putrajaya (i hope it is stuck there, if not, tat means it is stil in jkn level)

Chee Foo: hey, 1 mth tagging already good. others had to tag 2 mths. but not bad, can charge them passive call daily and each time they call me to go back and see something, i get to collect milage.

As for confirmation, mine only just departed from seremban on 1/6/06 but has not reached KKM yet. Crap la. i sent mail to UK and my friend already reached it in shorter time than that! Anyhow, keep on pestering them or deliver it yourself. I think this is like tracing blood results. can not trust the attendants. they will stop for marketing and a smoke before u get any back. better just go on your own.

Went for Basic surgical skills course with khaibeng few days ago. met up with Fariz.She's in paeds surg now and getting married in Dec to a Chinese muslim guy! Congrats to her!

I'm also going for BTN next wk. wish me luck! any advice before i get there?

yong: eh. i lost ur number la. anyway, yim remember u, though recall more of ur sis, n say hi.

yong: yeap, it is Yim Sit Wai. went to PMC, sermban for hosueman, n to HBUK after finishin houseman. wife from kl. he will b back in N9 in mid june. will send u the contact no. remind me if i forgot. will send regards to him on ur behalf.

congrats carren for joining the ORL fraternity....u so lucky can hav 1 mth tagging. i started oncall after 3 days tagging last time due to lack of MOs...u sure will enjoy ur Dept.
anybody got their 'pengesahan jawatan' yet?? how do we DIY to speed up the process? the cc, admin.JKN,KKM and SPA taking forever to do this simple thing...
