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!!!

fried dry noodles

on yesterday, i was excitingly telling my housemate,
i'm gonna make fried onion ginger chicken today, and i totally forget about it.
thus, my chicken cubes are still rock hard lying in the freezer.

after coming back from the clinical attachment
(TDM - one of the hardest attachment),
i was totally exhausted.
yet, there's a stomach to fill.
why human needs to eat?
it is sometimes very headache to think of what to eat.
how good if there's someone cooking for you everyday,
food readily served on the dining table >.<

looking at my dying choi sum in the fridge,
i decided to eat them up before i have to throw the whole pack into the dustbin.

today's menu:

tine's fried dry noodles



let's start with the ingredient:
- garlic,
- chili
- Frankfurter
- choi sum
- egg
- dried mee
- crab stick
- and my dad's home made sambal

of course, we'll need to saute the garlic and chili first,
add in some of the sambal

put in the choi sum and Frankfurter and crab stick
fried til medium cooked.

add in the egg and the mee,
season to your liking.

for mine,
i put some soy sauce and oyster sauce.

done~~!!

lately, i'm always craving for sweet drinks.
i dont want to get diabtes...but..arg, drinking sweet drinks just make me go "Awww..."

hurm, no matter what hardship we are facing,
we must believe that,
at the end of the day,
everything happens for a reason.

SUSHI KING RM2 BONANZA

yeah, after a tired day of clerking and counselling patients,
finally it's 5pm!!!

we're thinking to go back straight or to have our dinner first,
since there's one sushi king in the metro point
and most importantly is..
it's the RM2 bonanza 2009!!!
*12 - 15 oct 2009, valid for 2009/10 card holder*
i'm glad that pip had one.huhu..

we got excited and rushed there as soon as we made up our mind
biasalah, to avoid the dinner crowd mah..

luckily the queue was not very long,
we waited for roughly 20 min to get seated.
without further delaying,
we started taking the sushi we wanted from the Kaiten belt, non-stop!

soon without realizing,
i'd eaten that much..!!
*of course not lah, i think it's only 85.83746% lo..*

the mountain of plates..

we did not realized that the RM2 only applied to the rice based sushi,
hence, we had to pay extra for those non-rice based dishes.
*humph!!*

ya, i was asked to pose like that..>.<

clinical attachment

started our first clinical attachment on this wednesday and thursday.
i thought it was lucky that our first session was patient counseling.
but guess the lady luck was not with us,
we kept on loosing patients or there was no patient at all for us to counsel.

at the end, we had to recounsel those who were already counseled by the in ward pharmacist.

sigh..



*ya, it was scotching hot!!*
