Spot the word!

My washroom needs major cleaning work, so I decided to get the necessary thing from the shop. And of course I need a super string powerful detergent he... he... ut then I fond that something very funny on the detergent label. It can kill flu virus? har har har....
I guess it not Tamiflu alone that can kill the flu virus, but this detergent also can do the same thing he he.... I think i just their a marketing strategy but it might confuse the public. I'm not surprise after this if more patient come with clor** poisoining har har...

It must be the air!

Few of my good friends get sick and admitted to hospital recently. Nowadays, with unpredictable weather, H1N1 outbreaks, sedentary lifestyle and stress at work, it not a surprised everyone get sick easily.

One of my good friend during my medical school day was admitted for young hypertension with severe headache. He was found to have a big cyst in his brain. The news is shocked to all of my friend and me. Having good friend suffered from a disease is totally different from treating patient....

Dr F is also just recently discharge from hospital for influenza-like illness. Luckily it's not 'that" disease. He is a fighter and win the battle. Now he is back to battle field, jeopardizing himself to treat those who needs help. ( He pay me to said these actually he he...)

Another friend of mine recently, just found out her 6 months old child is going to be totally blind. It's her first child and I run out my words to show my empathy. I just can't imagine what her family going to go through in near future.

What we can do now, is to appreciate one of the greatest God's gift i.e health. As most of us never appreciate it until you loss it.....

p/s please pray for my friends....

Patient or patience?

It has been long since i haven't write anything. The story that I want to share happened about 2 weeks ago. What I hate most is an arrogant patient with bad attitude. This happened 2 weeks ago when I'm doing my part time job.

The a couple who come for medical advice. The husband is a worker of a medical center in KL and the my pert time clinic happened to be one of the panel clinic. He come for food poisoning and his condition wasn't to bad and actually improving ( most of food poisoning is self-remitting). After explain the diagnosis and treatment to this couple, they seems to satisfied without asking much question.

Now, when it come to the exciting part, MC. I personally don't think this patient need MC because he already on leave on that weekend and the next working day is Monday. The symptoms is improving and Ive already prescribed his medication. The husband seems to be okay with that but his wife start to show arrogant and unsatisfactory gesture. She start to raise her voice. She insisted the MC to be given to his husband because she want it as a "standby" if her husband getting worse on the next day.

The way she talked really pissed me off. I've already explained everything to them earlier and his condition is getting better. His husband is a staff in a medical center in KL, what he can do is just walk to staff clinic on the next day if he did not getting better for better treatment of course.

The whole scenario really testing my patient and ruined my mood that evening. The husband seems to be okay and just relaxed but his wife really needs behavioral therapy for her attitude. Pretty face alone with bad attitude is just such a waste....
