Mock- role play

Wow... it's really annoying when you make a last minute work... Me and Zubair just finished working on our role-play script last night and the role-play is TOMORROW????? Hmm, anyway, men are always like that. They tend to delay their works until they really desperate to finish them.

Today, we are practising for our role-play. Miss Dila checked our scripts and suggest several improvements. Judging through my script, i really need to improve on my language skill. In the role play, i will act as a doctor and zubair as the patient with meningitis. And the most challenging part is when I need to tell him about the disease and face his unexpected actions... Maybe this will be a good training for me before I jump to the doctor's world... I hope Allah will make my way become easier...

passive and active voice...

pergh.... what a great day... i've managed t woke up early, completed my subuh prayer at the musolla and recited few pages of the Holy Quran. I can feel that i'm a having a really great day today...

Owh, today is the presentation of Abortion in Introduction to Islam and Medicine class by some of my friends. They had really done well on their presentation. I can understand that generally, abortion can be done before 120th day of the pregnancy. However, certain sects stated that it is illegal as abortion can be considered as killing......

In our english class today, we learned the active and passive voice. It sounded boring to me but Miss Dila said that this lesson is really important as we need to use appropriate type of voice whenever we want to communicate among doctors or with the patients themselves or their families and relatives. Passive voice is more to formal and usually it is used when professionals like medical officers or specialists communicate between each other. Sometimes they will use scientific or medical terms that not all people capable to understand. Of course, this type of voice is not suitable for communication between doctors and patients or with their families. Active voice is more like everyday conversation. It is more likely suitable for doctors to communicate with patients and their families... IMPORTANT!!! ROLE PLAY IS NEXT WEEK.... STILL IN PROGRESS..

Sir, according to my diagnossis, you will die tomorrow! (Ahaks!)

Patient: Doctor, I had a stomach ache

Doctor: How is the pain?

Patient: The pain is like you feel pain in stomach.

Doctor: No, I mean how pain is the pain?

Patient: Owh, the pain is like pain.

Doctor: ??????

How to describe a pain? Today's lesson will make me understand about it. InsyaAllah. Sometimes, the pain do not always feel the same. Pain of stomachache does not the same as Headache. Sometimes the pain feel like pressing or stabbing or throbbing or intense or anything else. It is compulsory for the doctors to know about that. Different tpe of pain will have different dosage of pain-killers to decline the pain.

Another thing that really made today's lesson interesting is about how to break bad news to patients. I wonder how is the best language and facial expression that doctor need to make to deliver the bad news (hippocrite!). Ahaks..... However, the most important thing is understand our patient and deliver the news at the right place and time. Otherwise, your ear will be loaded with the patient's rebuke....

Working under pressure is my future life....

Is it true that doctors always work under pressure? Well, we can see that pressure is just a toy in doctor's life. Doctors have to work fast and and accurate especially in emerganecy department. Do I have the durability to withstand this type situation? Maybe. But I can't guarantee that. That's make me still hessitate about being a doctor especially when future doctors need to face crazy-like housemanship period. But, my strong will still make me stick to my option. Being a doctor is my choice, not my mum or dad or teachers or anybody else.

Hmm, today's lesson is about working under pressure that most medical profesionals need to face. In the critical circumstances, it is very important that all medical team understand each other, help other and stay calm especially when making decision. Anger, rushing, stress will effect the decision that the doctors and other medical team need to make especially about prescribing treatments to the severely ill patients.

Nasi lemak? Gee, it's awesome!!!!

Whoa!!! This is the day that i've been waiting waiting for. Miss Dila had promised to our class that she will treat us with nasi lemak because she had graduated successfully. Huhu, congratulation miss.... Hmm, actually it has been a long time I didn't eat nasi lemak. So, maybe this is an opportunity for me to eat it without having to pay it. Haha..... However, this nasi lemak have an awesome taste that I can't easily forget.I wonder where did Miss Dila bought it.

After eating the nasi lemak, I can't really focus on what Miss Dila tought because the taste of the nasi lemak still stick on my taste bud....Owh before I forget, thank you for the nasi lemak miss. We really hope that you are not deterred to treat us again..

Let me explain your diet.... haha (doctor laughing)

Wow! I felt so energetic this day. I hope that i can get through this day happily and successfully of course. There are a lot more things that i need to get through for me to become a doctor. So, I tried to focus on my study. Hmm, my first class today is Biochemistry. When Madam Mimi began her lecture, I tried very hard to put my focus on what she was teaching. But, I felt so tension that I could'nt understand most of the thing that she tried to push on our head. It seems that my head tried to vomit almost everything that Madam Mimi tought. In addition, my eyes felt like closing...

Hmm, now come the English class. This day we are going to learn about how do doctors explain to their patients about diet. As we know, consuming healthy foods and having them with correct ratio of nutrients are compulsory to maintain our state of health and prevent us from getting diseases. I enjoyed this lesson well. I really hope that this lesson can benefit my self during studying medicine and also for me to communicate fluently with my patients in the future.

Hmm.. Role play practice?

Before we ended our class yesterday, Miss Dila asked us to go through lesson 1 to 3. After reading those lessons, I can sense that this class is going to be very interesting. Hmm, I hope that my prediction is right. That day, we were exposed to the communication skills that doctors use during reaching and diagnossing their patients. Besides that, we were also being tought about the steps taken by doctors during diagnossing their patients that is introductory talk, chief complain, history of present illness, medical history and etc. During this class, I felt that actually being doctor is not as easy as ABC. Even communication skills is vital to become a medical professionals. Anyway, I don't think that all occupations in this world is easy. All work have their risks. If you be a fisherman, you may need to face monsoon season. If you be a rubber tapper, you could suddenly being attacked by wild animals. Hmm, I can do this. I can be a great doctor. This is my promise to myself, my parents, teachers and also friends.... InsyaAllah....
