"Patient don't come with 50%..."
I can still remember that sentence very clearly...told by my professor in anatomy class...heh!! It is alraedy 4 years since he had said that sentence...referring to the above statement...it is true that patient don't come with 50% of the illness...they come with 100% of it...applying it to our responsibilities...which means we have to know everything about the human structures, functions and processes...not to forget what disease(s) can arise when those structures, functions or processes became abnormal...fuhh!!
"Ahh...lulus pon dah cukup ok dah!!"...that is what we always said..but our attitude is wrong...and unacceptable!! It is true that we've passed all the exams...nothing great about it when it come to applying the knowledge to the real clinical scenarios...we can't relate it to the patient...this is because we don't have the remaining 50% which is very important to make a dignosis...
Another fellas will say "We don't have to know all...just the principles of those diseases"!!--> yes, you're right...very true...but the problems is...the 50% that we have is only the facts about the diseases...definition, aetiologies, risk factors, epidemiology...memorizing the clinical symptoms...investigations and its management...BUT we don't know the pathophysiology of it(how the disease developed and affect our body)...don't know how to relate it to the clinical features that the patients have...and then after quite sometime...when another patient come with the similar symptoms...we've already forget...

Fact is fact...it can be read later...BUT the basic foundation must be there...another professor has said "If you got your basic principles strong...nobody on earth can shake you..never!!". All those craps saying by the old mans are true...it is just that we can't appreciate it...hahahah!!Poor me!!
Now...no much time left...only another year left...so much works to be done!! A lot of books to be read..and revised!! A lot of procedures to be performed...and practiced!! A lot of patients to see...and to be examined!! Again and again!! Plus...melayu mudah lupa!!hahahah!! What a shame to a Malay MS...
Don't know what to say...what to do...what to think!! Aku terpaksa menerima padah dan natijah atas ape yg aku dah lakukan...belajar hanya nak pass...dan hanya untuk exam!! I'm ready to face all the consequences...and for the next postings...I'll never do this again... not even once!! Cewahh...
"exams exams exams"
Goodluck bro...for the paediatrics' end of posting exam!! Long live the future generations!!
