the killing TDM attachment..

recently we just had our clinical attachment in one of the well known hospital in selangor.
it was said to be one of the hardest attachment
therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM)
true enough,
it was tough.

i think we assumed it's tough,
that's why all of us actually put alot more effort into this attachment
*not that we don't during other attachments*

we thought the calculation part was hard,
but it ended up finding the PCI is even harder.
patients requiring TDM is taking some narrow therapeutic index medication.
that is why we need to monitor the patient's condition,
to avoid overdose/toxicity.

there were a total of two days attachment.
during the first day, all of us were busy clerking the case,
doing the calculations.

on the second day,
because we were asked to present our calculation on the second day,
all of us actually grabbed every precious minute to check whether we're on the right track or not.

so, ok, we thought the calculation was the killing one..




all the references had became my mini desk..

pip was still busy figuring out his calculation..

nina relaxing there double checking her work..

kak najwa was quite blur through out the whole attachment..

and MNR was missing in action, still busy clerking her case in the ward..

you thought this is the end?

HELL NO!!

we're supposed to present our case to our prof on friday morning.
we're expected to leave at noon on the 2nd day of attachment,
but due to some delays, we ended up reaching home only at 7pm..
and imagine with the numbers of hours left,
you're asked to be ready to present your case.


i think all of us just stressed ourselves out at that night..

finally, the friday sun had rise..
went to the meeting room,
and was told that the presentation was postponed!

*what a relief~~*

so it was rescheduled.
ok, the following tuesday.

and i would say pip was the unlucky one to present his case 1st.
prof spent more than one hour on that case,
ended up,
she asked us,
are you guys ready to present after all the comments given to pip?
if not, i think it is better for you guys to go back to prepare again..

i'll see you on thurs after 4pm..

this is what happen when you have attachment in the morning,
preparing for TDM at night..
you practically got no time to do anything,
but..
to look for more references..
and to crack your head..for the weird condition the patient was having..

I WANT IT THAT WAY!!!
