O Negative

What is your blood type?
General speaking,
O -ve = universal donor (generous type of person, scarifies her/himself for other need he he)
AB +ve = universal recipient (he/she can received all types of blood but can only donate for those with same group. What does it sound like?... Selfish? he.. he..)
err... well, this is not totally true actually..

I decided to do something good today. It takes very little effort but lots of courage to do it. I heard the in the morning news, that Malaysia blood bank had a shortage of blood. No wonder it is so difficult to get blood for patient in the ward nowadays. It's a considerately quiet day for me at work today. So, after work decided to drive to Pusat Darah Negara at Jalan Tun Razak for blood donation (sound noble huh he.. he..) This going to be my 6th blood donation over 8 years period. I tried to do it more often but time is the constraint factor. My blood group is O negative, so you decide what types of person I am he... he...


This is my hand with needle in-situ. (I tried not to cry when the nurse poking the needle he.. he... hey it's painful OK, try yourself)



1 pack of blood = 450 ml = 1 life saved

If you are a healthy person, be a good citizen and donate your blood today. Lets do a little contribution for those who need.....

A walk to remember

"Once upon a story in Melaka...."

Dr Frapp and me was attending a weekend seminar recently at Melaka, the historical city. It was a fully sponsored trip and I must thanks AZ for organizing such a great event. Everything went smooth until Dr Frapp and me decided to get back to KL earlier since we already had personnel programme planned earlier. Dr Frapp and me leaving the hotel after had our dinner there.

The first half of journey was considered quiet boring. Then, suddenly a saw very thick mist on the other side of the road. I start to feel uneasy but i did not mention about it to Dr Frapp hoping that it's all my illusion. Few minutes after that. there was funny noise from my car. Shooot... why things must go wrong in the middle of the night and we are 128 km away from KL. I slowed down my car and park it at the roadside. After having quick unprofessional look, i noticed that my timing belt is 1/4 gone. To make thing worse, i cannot start my engine after that. Now we stuck in the middle of nowhere and in the middle of night hu.. hu.... (But I kind of enjoys it actually he he.. A dull predictable life with everything goes smooth is sometimes boring right? he he) But I definitely freak out if I was alone at that time....

This is where the event take place.

Help from PLUS came after we waited 1/2 hour in dark. I managed to start back my engine and we decided to get back on the wheel and drive slowly to KL like 50 km/h... So, 128 km from KL, driving at 50-60 km/h.....Yeah you do the calculation.........Dr Frapp and me were singing together all along the way as we tried to minimize my car energy usage by not turning on the radio (I realized later this action was unnecessary he he) and we quiet enjoy it he he...

We finally reached KL at 1 a.m tired and sweaty. Our total journey is 4 hours instead of 2 hours. That night trip would be the longest journey ever from Melaka to KL but it going to be the unforgettable one. Today, I learned a new lesson, "It is not how fast you can get to your destination matter but how and whom you share your journey with is more important........."

Convocation day

My younger brother had an accident recently. He was on his motorbike with his friend before a reckless lady driver in a white Kancil hit my brother from the back. He felt, kiss the road and hit his face badly leaving multiple abrasion wound.

To make thing worse, he loss his consciousness after the accident and he was bought immediately to Hospital Serdang.Lucky for him, he regain his conscious but he couldn't recall anything about the accident even where the accident took place. The last thing that he can remember is he is eating mee bandung and the next thing happened is he wake in hospital bed with wound all over his body. Thank God (Almighty Allah) he had no neurological deficit and his CT brain was normal, no intracranial bleeding. My diagnosis is: cerebral concussion with multiple superficial abrasion wound (especially over the face-habislah saham jatuh).

The not so good thing is, his convocation day (for his degree) is in 4 days time. Just imagine he is going to walk on the stage, received his scroll with face full of scars, had picture taken, and that picture is going to be hang in my parent house permanently. But wait, take it from the positive site, at least he can take the scroll by his own rather than somebody else take it for him. And that convocation picture, i believe that a little touch from photoshop will solve the problem right he he... there no problem without solution...

Mickey Mouse : What should i do?

My house has been invaded by rat. And this rat has leave unwanted "fertilizer" in my kitchen. It's going to be very embarrassing if a doctor had leptospirosis (a disease brought by rat) and this directly reflects my hygiene. I decided to give this nasty little rat a lesson. So, I bought a rat cage with a undeniably delicious cream cracker inside the cage as a bite. Guess what, BINGGO! on the next day, a small black rats trapped in that cage. I thought that going to be the end of story, but new problem arise. Err... what I am going to do with that rats? I'm in dilemma!


The criminal in the cell


Call her Mickey (I just gave her that name he.. he..)

I've ask few of my friends, and these are some of their suggestions:

1. Just throw the rat in the jungle. <---- Hey.... where to find jungle in KL
2. My grandparent used to kill them with boiled water.<---- Sound inhuman he he... I'll have trauma to eat meat soup after this he.. he...
3. Throw in the river then. <--- Now, I have to jeopardize my life just to throw this nasty rat to Sg Klang?
4. Make peace with her, let it go. She learned her lesson.<---- Yeah and I can get leptospirosis in exchange?
5. Turn the rat into rat satay. Must be delicious.<---- hey I'm not an exotic animal eater you creature....

Now, Mickey is in the cage waiting for her sentence. I leaved her outside my house while thinking what should be done. Would you guys help me? hu... hu....

Good thing comes in TWO

For most of medical devices, there will be only 1 device per packet. This is practiced to maintain the sterility of that particular devices. I am preparing to take my patient's blood in late afternoon to check her oxygen level. Suddenly i noticed something was not so right when I'm grabbing the packet of syringe. This particular packed that I'm holding contained 2 syringes! Which i never encountered since i practice medicine for the past 5 years. I decided that would be my lucky syringe. My guess is, something great is going to happen on me he... he... as always said, good things always come in TWO......

Sweet moment....

It was lunch hour on a rainy afternoon. This is another chronic patient of mine (considering she has been in hospital for 2 months) and this this 2 kids is her grandchildren. As everybody knows, hospital meals, are suc*s. What happened on that day, this two cute kids were bringing their grandmother lunch in a small classic "mangkuk tingkat". It just like one of the memorable Petronas commercials. I just couldn't find the exact word to describe that sweet captured moment. This poor auntie was so excited to see her grandchildren and at the moment she smiles, all her disease/burden seem to be cured/relieved temporarily. This all reminds me that, small things does matter in our life. Even a simple thing like sending text messages to your parents or friends can be very meaningful to them. So, start doing it today ......!
