Moggy in KKB: Part II

24 May 2005

What a morning! The air is cool, and the house is finally------quiet. I enjoyed a few quiet moments by myself, munching on cookies while religiously reading my bible---fashion magazines. Yes, it goes with me everywhere. It’s a must for the “fashion-fashion one”!

We all went to the HKKB a little earlier cos we thought they might start a little earlier. We were…erm a little late, well we thought we were until we saw people walking in the opposite direction, towards the canteenJ. Had nasi lemak and hot milo. The calorie content of the nasi lemak was way behind my mind, couldn’t be bothered by that now, I’m depressed(guess it’s just another excuse to eat)! The nasi lemak was pretty bad. I think it’s gotten worse compared to last time. Yet business is still good! There was this roti canai stall the last time I came here and it was really good. Too bad it’s not there anymore L.

We all met up with Dr. Lim for a briefing session and a talk by the director of the hospital. It’s a funny sight to see, everyone’s struggling to keep awake. We then went to clerk our assigned patients. My patient belonged to the Ward 5, the maternal ward. It’s actually “our” patient, I’m sharing her with Raj. The patient’s a primid (primi gravida—first pregnancy). Well, let’s just call her J. She’s really nice to talk to. I can tell that she’s really nervous and excited about the whole thing. She actually chose not to find out about the sex of her baby, as she wanted to keep the suspense and surprise till the final minute.

Raj and I then went to the morgue to look at the corpse that was brought in last night. It was a murder case. The victim was apparently involved in some mafia conflicts in Mumbai. A post mortem was scheduled in the afternoon with specialists coming in from KL. Too bad only a few of us get to watch it L.

Had bedside teaching session with Dr. Lim. Presented my case, which totally sucked but Dr. Lim said it was a good try anyway. We then did antenatal physical examination. It was a different kind of experience, to be able to feel baby and listen to heart sound.

We had an accident on the way back! What a way to end the day! Luckily no one was badly injured. We were on our way back to Taman Seruling and the road was rather wet and slippery as it was raining. A motorbike was in the middle of the road waiting to turn into a junction on the right but even when Adelyn slammed the brakes, the car didn’t just stop right there. It kinda bumped into the bike, tipped it to the right and it fell. It all happened so suddenly. Everyone took a few seconds to recover from the sudden shock, then we all rushed down to help the lady. Luckily it wasn’t really serious, just a bit of bruising and abrasion on her right arm. We’re lucky enough that we didn’t kill her and provoke an angry mob to come after us.

It continued to rain the whole night. The 5 of us who stayed in the same house decided not to get wet so we stayed in. Instead, we spent quality time together reading magazines, talking and watching some cheesy and draggy Korean drama series. We finally called it a night when all of just couldn’t keep our eyes open anymore.

#Facts Learned today:
1. It's illegal to do post mortems at night-------- Dr. Lim
2. If a MVA patient still can walk, he/she does not need to be sent to A&E. If you do send them in, you shall be scolded!----A guy from A&E in HKKB .#
