When I grow up.. I wannabe a Dr.

i still remember my last match was against smsob.. back in ~april 2004.. i was representing asas that day.. padang utm kl campus was the venue.. i was injured half way through in the first half when i pulled my hamstring.. since then a level-s exam.. then torn my acl etc2.. rehab period.. went overseas..

and last saturday it was again, against smsob.. but this time i played for my alma matter - kyser.. after 5 1/2 years post-injury.. this time the result was in my favour i.e. we managed to steal the limelight of the tournament by winning the match with a scoreline of 15-5.. winning against the defending champion is something to be proud of.. and against the one of the most established team, is, honestly, far beyond my imagination.. on my side, it could be a better performance..

but that's what we call team spirit.. faith and belief.. everything is possible..

Biggest flood in Cork living memory.

balik kampung.. hujan lebat di negeri orang, hujan emas di negeri sendiri..

as most of the other interns, we're currently in the 3rd rotation of our 1st 6 months.. being assigned to rheumatology atm.. saw a few steroid injections alright.. management of joint pain - analgesia used ranging from paracetamol to morphine.. solpadeine solpadol tramadol pregabalin etc2.. diseases like acute inflammatory arthritis.. sciatica.. sjogren's syndrome.. hopefully can gain a lot more things out of this specialty..

One day post orthopaedics.

Changing rotation. Now I am doing general surgery with Mccourt and prof kirwin

a relaxing week altogether.. most of the consultants are on hols.. managed to get out from the hospital as per rota time.. however one of my colleagues is on annual leave this week.. hence the same number of hours more or less..

otherwise.. still disappointed that man utd lost to liverpool last sunday.. may this week bring a better united..

hey lads,

Its sunday. and it is a day post birthday celebration. Had a wonderful birthday.

For breakfast, Bibik cooked her special nasi goreng which I'd missed a lot. Then we had an amazing Thornton choc cake (thank you Along), with singin and cutting cake with skype papa mama adik in KL.

This is the first time celebrating it in London with a good few hours skyping and just letting Qistyna Alisya entertaining mama papa n adik back home with her talking, dancing and other cheeky antics.

Then we went to Westfield for some birthday shopping (both Along's and my bday) and then some Malaysian lunch at the newly opened Jom Makan restaurant there.

Thank you papa mama adik angah along abanglong Qis bibik and all my friends (including you) who wished.



This year is a milestone for me, and thank you for making it so memorable.
God bless.

Yours Sincerely,
Izad

Hello people. it is 430am tuesday.
had a very busy day yesterday.
for those who did not know, i am doing orthopaedics now.
it is tough. one of the toughest internship work around.
but i am handling it ok, quite well actually.

as it is monday, in the usual custom i shall be putting up a video for ye all.

this video brings a lot on the table.

so here it is... have a view at it and share what you think.

this is the 3rd week where only 2 med interns covering the whole hosp [~100 med patients].. as one of us is sick.. hence a very busy week.. so from 1/3rd of ward jobs become 1/2.. on top of that, i think the hosp is getting busier and busier.. at this stage, nothing much i can do apart from keep going..

put complaint aside, something to share with the audience.. from the journal club meeting yesterday.. 25-50 out of 100,000 populations are narcoleptic, if you refer to accepted international data from researchers world wide.. but in most countries, around 60-80% are left undiagnosed.. sleep study is one of the ways to diagnose the condition.. for me it's hard to believe that the condition exist.. i initially thought it's just pure sleepiness.. =)
