I sprained my ankle

Yep, saya tahu saya sangatlah careless. Encik Sumi cakap saya selalu sangat jatuh. It's either saya memang tak berhati-hati or saya obese so senang hilang balance. Oopss. It hurts so bad that I swear I could hear bone-cracking sound. Alhamdulillah, bila X-ray, nothing major happened actually. The doctor said it was merely a hematoma at the right ankle joint region. Bengkak still tak kecik-kecik. Takut. :(

Swelling of the right ankle joint

Doctor dah bandage. Tu pun saya yang mintak isk.

One day after the incident. Still ada hematoma.

Rumah Sakit MH Thamrin Salemba hampeh sesangat. Service sangatlah teruk. My friends helped me to do all the administrative stuff. And sampaikan nak ambil wheelchair pun kena ambil sendiri. WTF. It's a private hospital. Nurse yang takde kerja selamba je suruh pegi ambil. Sebab takde koas la tu. Kalau RSCM, kerja-kerja camtu, koas la. Jadi kuli. Sobs~ Cepatlah sembuh. Kalau tak, camne nak sambut baby kat Ruang Bersalin lagi, ye tak? T___T


Ps. Turns out that doctor kat emergency tu adalah resident kat RSCM. Please please forget my face and name. Malu.
Pps. Koas = medical student yang sedang clinical posting kat hospital.

The world is cruel

I bet most of you guys have seen this video and seriously, I find it very VERY disturbing. How can humankind be so heartless? Check out the video below.



Here's an excerpt from a news article:

A two-year-old toddler was run over by two vans and mortally wounded, after which 18 people passed her indifferently in south China's Guangdong Province.

Thanks to the 19th passer-by, a woman garbage collector who came to her aid about seven minutes after the first hit, the girl didn't die immediately in last Thursday's incident. But doctors said the girl died yesterday from severe brain injuries she had suffered in the accident.

Police have detained both drivers.

After the surveillance video of the incident was put online yesterday, many netizens condemned the 18 passers-by who could have helped the girl avoid the second accident. The case was the latest to bring home the question of whether people today are too cold-blooded to help, or whether it's smart to stay away from an accident to avoid the chance of being accused of responsibility by the victim.

The girl, identified by her parents as Yueyue, was knocked down by a van about 5:30pm last Thursday, when walking alone in a hardware wholesaling market in the city of Foshan. The car driver stopped for a while after the front wheel rolled over the girl. But he sped away soon and the rear wheel crushed her again.

A witness walked around the girl lying on the narrow street without stopping, the surveillance camera showed. Then a biker and a pedestrian passed her but ignored the girl struggling in a pool of blood.

A second van driver, who didn't see the girl, crushed her again and fled the scene. After the second hit, Yueyue became motionless.

Over the ensuing five minutes, 15 people passed her and each of them just took a look. None stopped to lend a hand.  Then finally, about seven minutes after the girl was hit by the first van, the trash collector came to her aid. She rushed to help her sit up but Yueyue was paralyzed. So the woman moved her from the middle of the street to the side. She yelled for help and Yueyue's mother came and held her daughter in her arms.

Yueyue was rushed to the General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Command, where she remained in the intensive care unit until she died yesterday afternoon.

"She couldn't breathe on her own," said Wen Qiang, deputy director of the ICU department.

The incident is the latest example of passers-by acting indifferently to victims injured in crimes. In this case, some blamed the parents for letting the girl walk on the street alone. More criticized the phenomenon of people passing by without helping, caused at least in part by previous extortion attempts from the injured and their families who have sometimes tried to blame the person helping.

She got run over by a van and a truck, TWICE! The first van ran over her twice (front and rear wheels) so that makes it three times?  Humankind much? I don't think so! May that poor little girl rest in peace..

S.I.C.K

Baru je start posting Paeds, dah start sakit. But honestly, it's not me that I'm worried about. It's the kids at the ward and polyclinic! Their immune system must have been lower than usual and me being around them would only predispose them to infection.

Okay, tipulah kalau tak risau kat diri sendiri kan. The thing is, upper respiratory infection has always been quite a strong sole factor triggering my asthma. Yes, I do get sick. Often. Urgh. I hate common cold. It comes with a full package of fever, cough, headache, congested nose, and yadda yadda. I could do nothing for the past few days. Been sleeping the moment I reached my hostel till the next morning. During the lectures and bedside teachings, I couldn't pay attention. It was such a torture, having to stand in the polyclinic/ward for hours. They even blasted the place with the lowest temperature of air-conditioning. T___T God bless me.

Now dah boleh rasa cam sesak sikit. Oh no. Found my ventolin inhaler but whoops, it's already expired. T____T Demmm demm demmm!

Ps. I hope I don't need to use the nebulizer.

Being sick after sitting for finals...

Tissues lying everywhere on my desk!

 ... is not fun at all! I've been thinking all the things that I wanna do after the exams but had to put them aside due to the sickness that I'm suffering of. I don't think this is just a simple common cold. It's been torturing me for over a week now. I'm just too sure that I'm actually having acute rhinosinusitis. I guess I need to have to wait until next week since sinusitis may resolve on its own after 2 weeks. Well, I hope so! This headache is killing me.

Acute rhinosinusitis

Went to Thamrin hospital today and was diagnosed with acute rhinosinusitis. I don't get it. I was thinking it should be rhinopharyngitis instead since I have runny nose with purulent discharge and sore-throat. Oh well. Whatever. I hope I get better soon. Polyclinics are so stuffy. RSCM is so frigging packed every single day. I can imagine how tired must the doctors here be! More exposure to sick people means more susceptible I become to infection. Eeekkk. =/

OSCE on Thursday, written exam on Friday. Patient's exam on Monday in the following week. Praying hard so that I don't get sick on these days! Amin.. :)

Back to study mode. Ciao! ^_~
