medical school | miri posting

Let me be honest to you right now. I’m typing this post in the red resus emergency room with beeping sound coming out from all three patients. I know it sounds dramatic, but I promise you that everything is alright. I’ve been standing here for a while with a group of medical doctors and nurses discussing some management plan.

Okay, I had to stop for a bit to look for some stuff. Now I have time.

Guys, Nadiah is legit laughing at me right now. 😅 I swear we weren’t doing anything when I started writing the post – everything just came in at once, and now we’re with a newly delivered baby. 😂 I think I jinxed myself!

Now I’m out in the meeting room for a fever and sepsis presentation. So, we’re good. *prays hard* And we finally get to sit (yass). I’m doing a 3-week posting here in the emergency department. Well, I’m not alone. There’s Nadiah, Shillon, and Kar Chun as well.

The posting is very chill – I love it. It lets me transitions down to school break while still technically being in school term. We learn plenty of stuff tho. I have practically revised the whole of cardiovascular system during this posting. With that being said, I need to revise:

.

1. ECG

2. Antibiotics

3. NSAIDS

I had to reread the whole thing again because the ED was quite busy afterwards. I wasn’t sure what I wanted this post to be about (I try to make my posts that are tagged under #medicalschool, #headspace and #girlboss to have more substances than my usual daily posts). I guess at least it’s a good thing that I’m writing again. ☺️ I’ll make sure the writings improve as I get back into the routine of publishing content consistently.

Tbh, all the clinical postings that I attended these past weeks had confirmed one thing that I suspected of myself. I learn better when I experience the materials. I’m doing okay with preclinical lectures and textbook revisions right now. But learning when I’m in the clinic or hospital with real patients just make learning and remembering sooo much easier! I cannot wait until I get into clinical years.

p/s I am very well aware that this post is a bit all over the place 😛 Perhaps that’s one of the things that I want to write here – I have been feeling this way all year round. I have not been compliant with my treatment which causes me not being able to ground myself. Nothing life-threateningly serious tho – I can still function and live life happily, however, I am not feeling my best for the most part of the year. My mind is very chaotic. Anndd… I have been avoiding it for almost a year! Hehe it’s one of the reasons why I haven’t written that much this year up on the website too. 🙈
