F.A.S: Dear patient

Praised belong to Allah swt.

First of all i would like to wish you happy new year 2016!

I hope everyone have a clear vision and mission for this upcoming year.

Im in my second week of medical posting currently

Theres nothing much different than my year 4 posting except for new supervisor and some new posting which is hematological ward posting.

So far, i am still trying my best to catch-up myself with all the disease seen in the ward.

Final year is no joke

People already started to visualize us as a doctor

And we try our best to potray to the patients and our lecturers that we are capable of being a 'safe doctor'.

Sometimes, at some point in our life we felt exhausted and frustrated with ourselves. My lecturer told me, we are not a robot. We also a human, just like you. We have emotion, and it is normal to feel that way. Sometimes, we need a break to sort things out and to get ourselves back together.

And it is dangerous to not having any feeling or emotion, as you need it to feel empathy towards your patient and love towards your job. So, cry if you lost your patient, laugh if you feel its funny, fight if you think its necessary for your patient's wellbeing and rest if you feel you had reach your limit.

As for me, medical posting is challenging in a way of keeping myself continuously revising all the important common diseases and its management. Yes, it is challenging to remember all of it. Sometimes, i feel like my brain exploding with all of this info's and need to vomit it all back to relieved the loads.

Dear patient,

Being a doctor is not easy..

This journey never been easy..

Let me tell you how the journey be like...

We were told to 'do no harm' to you

We were told to do 'justice' to you

We hold to this oath & principle in our heart

Treating you would be like treating our family members

So, losing you would also be like losing to our own family members

In order to not losing lives in our hand

We need to burn midnight oil to make sure we are equipped with adequate knowledge

For that took us to sacrifice a lot of things in our life
