I hv been in IJN almost 2 weeks now, I have to say its a much better place than UH to learn. Ppl in IJN actually are very eager to teach u new things and they try to make u do hands-on as well. Nana got to take blood, but I hv not got my victim yet. I wonder who would that (un)lucky person be. Hehe!

                             Anyways this whole two weeks i have been seeing mostly old patients, like 60 to 80 years old. I pity most of them cos they cum all the way to IJN by themselves. There was this 80 year old Indian man, he was in a lot of pain, he could not breath that well. When he saw me he asked in English “Are you M’sian?” .  I said I am, and wondered why he had asked me that question. I guess my expression was very quizzical, he said “You don’t look like M’sian.”  For a moment I was happy he said that, then I remembered that 3 of the MO’s there were from India and Bangladesh. I secretly still wonder where he thought I was from. Then he told me in Tamil, his head was very painful. I went to looked for a nurse and told them he was in a lot of pain, the nurse told me that his consultant was on the way.

                              I went back to that old man. He looked at me and asked me to guess his age. I said 60, he said no, 80, he said YES. But he didnt look 80 to me. Then  he told me that he has 7 children just like me, all are successful. He said he put all his hard work to bring them up but today he has nobody to look after him. He said his children don’t care about his health and that he came here all by himself, he drove to IJN with all the chest pain and difficulty breathing. For the moment I listened to him but in my mind I was thinking, probably his children were busy this time but before they surely would have followed him, at least one out of the 7. I gave him a sympathetic smile, not knowing whether it was enough to comfort him. About 20 minutes later the nurse and the consultant(I dont like this guy cos he looked like sum1 i HATE so much!!!) came. After their check up on the old man, the nurse told me and Nana, that the old man always came by himself. Her exact words were “keluarga pak cik ni abaikan die!”  I felt real bad for this man, in his age sum1 should be by his side, taking care of him. The nurse asked the old man

“Pak cik datang dengan siapa?”

“Datang sama cucu”

“cucu boleh drive?”

“haha, die budak kecik lagi, saya yang drive”

I felt real bad, the consultant told him to rest in the ward until he was a bit better then drive home.

           Another patient was a Malay old woman. She came with her husband to IJN all the way from Shah Alam by taxi. Her actual appointment was 3 months away, but her pain was very bad she complained. The MO’s checked her and asked her to go home, but they told her that they gave her an early appointment, in September. Well then on she started to bising, she complained how she only had two kids and one was sick and the other was busy working. I suppose she went on with her rambling for about an hour,cos she wanted to be admitted, and finally she achieved her goal. But then again, how could the children be so inconsiderate of their parents. No matter how much of work you have don’t tell me u can’t help your parents by sending them and taking them back. Until today i have never seen any1 visiting the old couple, the old lady was lucky she has a loving husband.

How could adults these days be so inconsiderate? Your parents would do anything to see you healthy and happy, but when it is the adults turn to take care of their parents, they just let their parents go. In each religion, they say that you have to take care of your parents. In my opinion even if it is not return so, they are your parents, YOU BLOODY HELL OWE THEM EVERYTHING!!!

I just hope this stupid “trend” would stop. I seriously feel like cursing each and every1 one of these “anak tak guna”, i mean to see these old people suffer all by themself with no one to take care of them. I don’t think there is any good excuse to not take care of your parents

  Today in IJN my practical started with death. He was a very unfortunate old man. He came to IJN for his appointment, and the night before he was fasting. When he reached IJN with hus daughters he was still fine, but as he got out of the car he fainted and hit his head to something. He was rushed to the emergency ward, n was given insulin and dopamine, the doctor said he was hypoglycemic. Soon one of the nurses found out from the patients’ daughters that the patient was having liver cancer.

Fortunately, the patient had responded to the first few doses of medication. He had good reflexes, he talked to the MO n cardiologist. We thought he was saved, but soon after he started crashing. The cardiologist said he could not be saved. Moreover when they did an ECHO, the heart was not moving. At 8.58 a.m the patient died.  

This was the first time I saw death as it arrived. Seeing cadavers was different, seeing an actual death was totally different. Nana said she felt sad n kesian, I however didn’t feel anything. I didn’t feel anything but i kept staring at the dead man, the was nothing on my mind, at all. I don’t know if I was shocked, but I knew i wasn’t scared neither did I feel pity for the family. I know that I am going to sound like a cold hearted person, but to me at that time I thought, its better he died this way then suffer a few more months due to the cancer. He would have suffered as he didn’t look very strong. He was a weak old man.

I know i am nobody to say what’s right for the patient but that was my opinion. As for the scared part, I am amazed at myself, I thought I would freak out, but I didn’t.   

The rest of the days passed by with lots and lots of gossips with Nana.

As I am very free these days, i decided to read other peoples’ blogs. Well, I was amazed while reading blogs by stars, Bollywood stars to be exact.

The first blogs I read was by Aamir Khan. It was a very good blog. He confesses, he complains, he talks & talks & talks. It makes one feel closer with their fave actors. I was not a big fan of Aamir Khan in person, cos I never really read about him in any news, but thru his blog u get to know him a lot better.

Then I read Amitabh Bachan’ s blog. It’s good but the English is the very British type. Don’t have much to say about his blog.

The we have Karan Johar. His blogs are really entertaining. He is a funny guy, with a different mind, therefore his blogs really make my day. He has only made a few blogs so far but they are rather entertaining.

Hv not taken the time to read blogs by Hollywood actors, I wonder if they even exist. 

Well, thats all for the day.

Well I didn’t wanna put a very speculative title, but I am about to write about the VERY FAMOUS BLA-BLA-BLAS IN M’SIA. They are from the M’sian politicians. I mean we’v eall read our history books thoroughly, we know the reason why our country fell into the hands of the Westerners in the first place, the fight for power, and the constant bickering of who is better than who.

Here we are, after 51 years of independance repeating the same mistakes, and its worsen by the campur tangan of the US(Seriusly who the heck are they nak masuk campur dgn hal kite orang ini? Cucila belakang sendiri sebelum nak kutuk orang lain). The election has been over along time ago, but it seems as though the election campaign is still going on.

But why? What is done is done, why don’t our politicians think of the ppl and do whats best for them(ppl) instead of kutuking each other’s party. Its damn funny you know, macam budak kecik ok!

But I hv to say I like the way the PKR candidates talk. Its very proffesional! Tak tengking, tak marah, cakap semue dgn emotion yg stabil, dan takla nampak macam ade ceramah atau kuliah. I like the way they answer very ridiculous questions asked by the reporters. Like for example, the other day the Perak MP was talking about some pemberian tanah, and it was first come first serve basis, and he did mention tak kira bangse atau agame. Well I suppose that was fair enough and it was for ppl below the income of RM750/month if I am not mistaken. Well, then a repoter asked:

Reporter: Are you going to follow the PAS(Islamic) way of dealing in this state? 

MP: (Looking pissed but was calm) Why are you asking me that question? Keadilan(as in the pembahagian tanah to every1) bukan Islamic ke?

Reporter: (Knows he has been slapped) errr…tanye je…

Well, I was impressed with the way the MP talked. The Selangor MP was not bad either.

I would like to say that I am not promoting anyone or what so ever, but I am just suggesting that it is time that we had proffesional politicians. We need these kind of ppl. For me, I think its time for a change. We need change. We need ppl who can concentrate on the rakyat & not so consumed with their party.

Another thing that has been going on is the Anwar sodomy case. Just when you think its over its back again. I have no comment on the issue but I find that the involvement of the US is unnecessary and ridiculous.

Well I miss the Dr.M way of administration a lot. I felt that he was stronger person, he was a visionary and he made M’sia as it is now. The other I asked my dad why Pak Lah seems very weak, can he manage this country? My dad said that I(actually every) think Pak Lah is weak because everyone keeps comparing him with Dr.M. My dad said that Pak Lah lets ppl give their opinion, if it was Dr.M you would have no say. Maybe its true, but I am longing for a change in this country.

Last but not least I would like to finish this boring topic by saying, lets hope for the best for our future

It was 2.30 pm n I was rushing my parents to Sunway Pyramid. I guess I did make them bengang, but anyways I am like that, alwiz want to get my things done first.

By 3pm I was in Sunway Pyramid(SP), I was very excited, I called Selvi n told her I hv arrived. It was devastaing wen she said “HA!!!U reach oredi, I need to pick up Supriya first, it will take me at least 30 min to reach SP” (sob..sob)

Then I called Maria n she said “Hey Maal, wat r u doing there so early, I need to pick up Pari(Parimalar) first, it will take me 40 min to arrive.” I was like “Shit, I feel stupid” . Therefore, I had 30 min to go around SP by myself, BORING!!!

In 30 min, Maria and Pari came, followed by Supriya n Selvi 10 minutes later. We went to Pizza Hut to eat.  While we were there reminscing our past, Prakash n Prasad(Selvi’s freinds) came. They were nice guys, quiet but nice. Soon enough Shantini n Sivaranjini came. They were all making jokes and having fun, Supriya and I were at a blur, I guess I just got lost at the moment.

Then we decided to go bowling. I was like “Bowling? Would even be able to carry the ball? Great I am sooo gonna embarass myself today”. When we arrived in the bowling alley, the admin there told us to wait 30 min, so we had the time to go shopping for Maria’s new wallet. That’s when I realised that things were really cheap now cos its Mega Sale! I hv to bring my mom out now to go shop.

Later on, we went to the Bowling alley again, n started our game. Mine wasn’t such a bad start, 8 pins down in my first throw, then the rest of the throws became shitty. I guess Prakash got really upset cos he was the only one maintaining high scores in our team, the rest of us(Maria, Supriya n I) just threw the ball however we felt like. The good thing was Prakash thought me how to bowl. I suppose if I practise it will get better.

Then we all signed off for the day, Maria sent Siva, Shan n I back home. She bought herself a new car, i was jealous at the fact that she was oredi independant, n here I was still studying Medicine. Anyways,  I was the last person she sent back home, n I dropped my phone in her car. I still hv not got it back yet, Maria is very busy, hopefully soon she will hv the time to give me back my phone.
