Things you can do without

For you ladies out there.

Have you ever got caught up in a state?

I am sure you have.

Awful isn't.

For example, you got all dressed up for some event.

Went there with your male best friend.

Then out of no where he commented that his mate's girlfriend is waaay better looking than you.

Thought that he was just teasing you, you asked him back.

To which he confirmed that he is not kidding.

But you did not deny what he said.

Coz deep down you know that is the truth anyway.

Everybody at the table knew that.

The world knows that.

That's not the point of this story.

What bugs you is that why on God's earth he needs to remind you of that.

Okay let's talk about something more important & substantial in this life.

Hmm like how to prognosticate a man with an unstable angina using the TIMI score.

Future

Couple of things are in my mind.

It all began with the hunt for a place that I could call home. This is not something that we do everyday or on a regular basis. So this would be my latest obsession for the few weeks or so.

This will certainly changes things as I know it. The next 30 years of this life course will definitely take a whole new level of direction.

Shall I pack my bag and return back to live nearby my parents? Bought a house there and work for a teaching university hospital somewhere in the east coast. Have a family of my own there, grow a farm with a dozen of cows and goats.

Or shall I just stay put in Klang Valley, which means I might as well grab that condo and live happily overlooking the hills at sunset (presence of a female companion is optional).

... with a cup of hot milo of course!

The night of the living scrubs

8pm Resus room:

A newly-wed young lady with dysuria. Jari di inai masih merah. All radiant but dehydrated with hypotensive, her urine looks dirty. Looks like another case of a honeymoon cystitis. Treatment: A good dose of antibiotics and... err take it easy ma'am and yes you too sir.

1am Private wing:

A VIP with an elective admission had a sudden surge in BP. There is nothing that a 'genuine' smile and an amlodipine 10mg od cannot fix.

4am Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever:

A 40 year old housewife, flushed out, abdominal distention, bibasal lungs crepitation fortunately no postural hypotension and good capillary refill. Gave her a 1 pint of dream over 1 hour and that bring the Haematocrit down nice and easy.

5am:

Kroooohhhh.... krooohhh krooohhhhh (apnoea) cough cough... wroooohhhhh wroooohhh

Chill before use

Modern medicine does not have the cure to all diseases under the sun. Where mainstream medicine fails or does not work, we will admit it.

I have great respect for complimentary or traditional method of healing. Acupuncture is one them.

My concern lies with traditional drugs which do not go thorough scientific research and stringent regulation in checking their safety for mass consumption. Some of the active ingredients have incredibly high dose it could cause renal failure. One of my nurse developed heart failure secondary from taking traditional weight loss pill.

In contrast, any mainstream drugs that is reported to have 'safety concern' will be recalled even after it has been released to the public.

Having said that a lot of modern drugs are extracted from plants, and they are wonderful! For example, an oral anti-diabetic drug called metformin is extracted from a plant called Galega officinalis.

PS: I got no hidden agenda nor that I have any shares or benefit from any sales of the so called modern drugs. My only interest is your health.
