Assalamualaikum, After one year of internships kat merata hospital & tempat, we had our final assessments for 2 weeks (11th to 20th June 2019). Habis special unit tu, cuti seminggu, sekali dengan cuti raya. Lepas raya lah maksudnya exam ni semua haha. Bayangkan betapa liat nak siapkan case report tu. Nasib baiklah log book dah hantar awal kat dietitian IJN. So, everything was settled even before cuti. Kat IJN pulak memang tak ada patient census and punch card macam kat Hospital Serdang/Kajang. So tu tak payah fikir dah. Everything kena hantar hari yang sama dengan case presentation tu. Manalah tak gelabah aku duk kira hari cukup ke tak nak siapkan report. Thank God a week before cuti tu aku dah present kes kat IJN. So, cuma tinggal nak edit sikit2 je slide tu. Nasib baik juga, aku tak raya sangat. Hari kedua raya tak pergi mana2 pun xD Okay, the final assessments ni consisted of case presentation (11 June), bedside exam (13 June), viva (18 June 2019) & written professio...

Assalamualaikum, I am currently at home, holding the title fresh graduate. So, I am not bind to anything. Patutnya aku dah lama taip pasal ni tapi mood tu tak ada haha. Ni baru rasa macam ada mood sikit. So, here goes, walaupun I do not think this would be a long post. Just simple and sweet. We will see. Masa dapat tahu aku dapat placement kat sini, I was quite literally scared. Awat? Weh, ni IJN kot. Kena attach directly dengan dietitians kat sana. Bukan lagi dengan CI kita yang dah masak dengan perangai 32 orang ni. Yes, aku pernah pergi hospital luar which were Hospital Kajang & Hospital Putrajaya, tapi kat dua2 hospital ni, mostly memang attach dengan CI, bukan dengan dietitian kat hospital. The sheer terror was also because I am a bit of a shy person (walaupun kalau cakap benda ni kat sesiapa, depa takkan percaya sebab dah biasa dengan aku yang banyak cakap ni xD). The prospect of meeting new people usually gives me anxiety.  Dah lah special unit ni rotation t...

Assalamualaikum, Last week was the third out of our four hell's week. Pardon the language, I thought the term is necessary xD Tapi, this one was actually a great week. Okay. So, Isnin pagi tu ada bengkel NFPE in which we learned more and practiced NFPE. Then, sambung dengan briefing untuk community. Petang tu dah start case presentation for 5 people and semua orang tengok depa present kat Makmal Diet. I was finalizing my slides and log book. Habis je, terus pergi flat ikan dengan Jaz, Peah, Mona, Meli nak fotostat log book & print slides. My case presentation was the next morning. I was the third presenter kat Makmal Penilaian Pemakanan tu. Gabra jugaklah tapi sebab kes aku tu pun baru lagi, so I was not too nervous. Presenting was fine, despite takut tak sempat masa. My assessors were Dr Bai, Dr Z & Encik Asri. I presented once the last Tuesday kat Kajang depan semua dietitian. At the time it was about refeeding syndrome and the patient was still in the ward. T...

Assalamualaikum, I am finally breathing freely now that IPD 2 is officially over. Sebenarnya bila tengok '10 minggu' tu aku ingat lama, tapi tup tup dah habis pun. Kejap je. Despite being in the 10 weeks with the same tiring feeling of "Cepatlah habis, tolonglah. Aku tak larat dah ni". Hm, entahlah. Aku rasa IPD 2 ni much more challenging than IPD 1.  1. Mungkin sebab jangka masa panjang tu. IPD 1 dulu just 6 weeks. Ni tambah lagi 4 weeks. 2. IPD 1 dulu kat Serdang je. Ni IPD 2 aku kat Kajang jugak. 3. Higher expectations from CIs, friends, lecturers and even yourself sebab tidak dapat tidak, kau kena ada foundation. Sebab dah berapa belas minggu kau internship kan.  5 weeks kat Serdang rasa okay je, sebab dah biasa kat situ. Sistem dia, how everything works. Tempat2 kat situ pun dah biasa. Orang pun. Aku tak tahu nak cerita apa kat Serdang sebab mostly lebih kurang je dengan IPD 1, tapi kali ni dapat pergi more wards & tengok lebih banyak disipli...

Assalamualaikum, For the first semester, we had 2 assessment weeks. Apa benda assessment week? Dalam satu minggu tu lah ada bedside exam, case presentation & case report.  1. Bedside exam: a lecturer would assess our case handling with real patients. 2. Case presentation: Choose one case during one of the rotation, then do follow-up (AT LEAST once for OPD, twice for IPD), then present the full NCP of the case. 3. Case report: Like case presentation, only this one we do not present it to be assessed by the lecturers, instead, we write a full NCP report to be checked. Time ni lah semua orang serabut nak siapkan semua benda. Especially obvious masa assessment week 1. Ya Allah, aku sampai demam kot. Mungkin sebab first time, tak expect benda nak jadi stressful macam tu. Mana nak siapkan slides, nak tulis report maximum 20 pages, nak study untuk bedside exam, nak lengkapkan edu tool, pocket book. Seriously, everyone was out of their mind seminggu tu. AW1 tu aku kena ...

Assalamualaikum, So, sebenarnya aku tengah cuti seminggu, which is the only break we're getting for the whole 2 semesters of our clinical year. Sounds tough kan? Because it is. I mean, of course we have weekends to ourselves tapi cuti panjang yang macam ni is very hard to come by. Sejak kitorang first year lagi lecturers dah warning pasal benda ni and we thought we've prepared ourselves, but we actually didn't haha. Typical Malaysians, suka cuti. Alright, since aku tak banyak masa nak update setiap kali habis rotation OPD, so kita satukan dalam satu post ni je lah iye. 3 rotations of OPD sums up to 9 weeks in total. The 3rd & 4th rotation group aku under supervision Miss Alin. 5th rotation dengan Encik Asri lagi.  3rd Rotation - Hospital Serdang (Klinik Paeds, Klinik Diet, Klinik Nefro, Klinik MOPD) Like I wrote in the previous post, it was nerve-wrecking on the first day of OPD. Gigihlah group aku duk isi borang target goals yang kena isi sebelum setiap r...
