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....

Phew!

dub.... dub.... Maybe that's the sound of my heartbeat just before Miss Dila entered my classroom. Today is the presentation day for our English for Pre-Med students. Actually, i'm not quite ready for our group presentation. As Miss Dila entered the classroom, my heartbeat sounded even greater that i could feel like it would come out from my chest anytime. Wargh! What could i do right now? When Miss Dila asked if there's any group that want to be the volunteer to go first, it seem's that all of us refused to go. Out of the blue, one of the groups volunteered to be the first. The title of their presentation is yoga. Hmm, judging through their presentation, they surely searched and read a lot about that. What about our group? Thinking that it's better for us to finish the presentation early, we would like to be the second group. As syahir start our presentation, my heart can't stop beating... huhu. Can I speak fluently in front of others? When it comes to my part, I tried to be as sporting as possible. I created an imagination that I'm speaking alone in ther class. Sounded like like crazy but that surely help me a lot.. Alhamdulillah, thank to Allah that I can do my best... But, can I keep up my achievement? Who know that I can be better? Let's hope so...

First presentation? oh noo......

Today is the second day of our english class. I was very eager to start as this is the opportunity for me to improve my broken english... huhuhu. Once Miss Dila entered our class, she distributed to each of us a piece of paper. I tried to read the title. It sounds " abbrrrrr.... abbri...." Fuhhh, I can't pronounced it precisely at the first time. Then, Zubair told me that the word is " abbreviations" ( did I spell it correctly?). That is somekind of short terms used by medical experts. All of the words are frequently used through diagnosis and treatments. Wow, those sounded mesmerizing to me! So, we went through all the words guided by Miss Dila. It was true that I had never heard most of the abbreviations although I was exposed to medical field since I was a kid as both my parents are doctors. I felt that it was a big shame for me that I want to hide my blushing face inside my drawer.... hahaha.


After we went through all the abbreviations, we were asked to seat in our presentation group to disscuss about our presentation. Hmm, disscuss? Actually my head was empty at that time. However, I tried to give a great commitment to all my team to go through this presentation successfully.. That's the principle of my life regarding working in groups. Along the disscussion, we did not found any interesting topic for our presentation. Huh, what a fate! While searching the best way to solve our problem, my eye stared at a group that went out to the library. Hmm, why not we go there? There's a lot more ideas we can find there. So, all my group members dicided to go to the library after asking permission from Miss Dila. We ruhed there with all the energy we got as we were given only half an hour to be there.

Once we get there, my eyes nearly popped out when I saw all the book shelves. Whow! can i find a suitable topic here? Wargh! I start to have stress. After looking for nearly 20 minutes, some of my group members including me managed to find some related books. Hmm, but we still can't decide the best topic for our presentation. Maybe it's good for us to get back first and disscuss about that another time...

My First English Class...

My heart was thumping very fast as i stepped into my first English For Pre-Medical class. Actually, i was wondering how do my lecturer look alike and how can i perform the best in this class. Frankly, i am not so good in english. While all these questions dancing in my head, a weird footsteps knocked my eardrum. Gawrsh! it sounded like woman's shoe. I quickly cleaned my table and took out my note pad. Out of the blue, a young woman stepped into my class. Wow! is this my english lecturer? Well, judging through her appearence, she is a young woman aged around 25, have a nice smile and surely a kind person. Usually, a lecturer as i had seen in most tv shows are old, wearing round glasses, fierce-looking person and sometimes annoying. Maybe this is the difference in intec. In our first class, we started with a simple ice-breaking session. All of our class members were required to introduce themselves in front of the others. This included our name, where we come from, our former school and the most important thing is our best quality.. My best quality? Hoho... I think it's good to keep it secret just for my self. Maybe it's enough for my friends to know that i love to read very much.

Then, we start our lesson by pronouncing some medical terms. Most of the words i had found them in my SPM biology books. But there are a few words that nearly cause my tounge to twist. Haha... sometimes it is funny to heard some weird sound pronounced by others.....

We finished our class early at that day. But that was good because i can't focus anymore as i am so hungry that i can even eat a horse.....
