the finishing line!!
Had our first practical skills examination today for Internal Medicine. For obvious reason, had palpitations all the way to the hospital despite quite a thorough preparation before hand. Exams are exams..you remember one thing and you'll forget the other!
Was appointed to a patient for history taking and thorough med checkup. I was given a policeman as my patient with HTN. He was so tall about 185cm, i couldn't even reach his shoulder for lung percussion! "___". What a shorty doctor you have here!
Then comes the scarier part where i was given a LFT to interpret with only information about Bilirubin increment ( both conj and unconj) and an increase in serum creatinine level. Had 3 examiners right in front of me,pulling strings with each other to decide to whom i should go and answer. Infectious doctor insisted that the LFT result was taken from their department, so to her i went and yes Leptospirosis was the disease. Was quite in a guessing game but somehow i remembered the story of our Malaysia's actor allahyarham Din Beramboi.
and a self-reward for completing the exam for today :
Mutton ribs in an Uzbekistani restaurant.
The amount of fat i consumed tonight would probably last for the entire month!
