First day..-20th Nov

I've lost touch with this blogsite for quite a time. That's because i have been busy all week. First with my hospital attachment, then i ended last week with illness. I suppose i've got some eye-infection from the hospital and i even had vomitted a few times to be serious enough to get an injection on my butt, ha ha. But thank God i'm okay now.

The UM Medical Centre is a good training ground for apprentice doctors and specialists with various departments. There's the UM Specialist Centre which caters for ONG, Otorhinolaryngology(ENT) and Ophthalmology(Eye). And there are even kiosks and Delifrance in the hospital, which i never thought of.
The staff in charged for our attachment "tour" first brought us to the surgery department where we have the chance to visit most of the area of operation department. The operation region is isolated from the outside atmosphere by having its own internal air circulation system. Doors are set to close automatically all the time, and all windows are closed. The air is recleansed cotinuously to minimise infection. There's the pre-operation region where patients who are about to undergo operation is given thorough body check-up on blood pressure, heart pulse, breathing condition and so on. We also learnt that there are 3 operation theatres among 16 o.t. which are reserved for emergency case. As for the patients who has undergone operation will be placed in a region of 'post-operation' where they'll be attended by personal medical staff for detailed care until their 'critical moments' is over. Besides that, we have the chance to visit one of the o.t. but an empty one, that o.t. is meant for emergency use, we are not allowed to enter the other o.t. which are on operation as we've missed the time. Sigh...
In the afternoon, we visited the out patient department. There's a special clinic which's meant for T.B. patient. The T.B. patient is adviced to receive regular consultation but have to collect their medication from the consultant itself as the T.B. can be infected through air contaction and thus they are best to avoid from going to public places for other patients' safety. Besides that, we also went to the outpatient and inpatient worklab of pharmacy department. We learnt how the medicine are dispensed accordingly and how the system works.
Feeling tired at the end of the day with some disappointment as we didn't learn much as we had expected and may be because some of the staff just treat us lightly..
