2. I noticed of a late that I'm doing a lotta self-talk (dlm hati le.. nanti kene cap kuda terbang pulak). Which I haven't done so for many years since I left medschool. Apart from human interaction at the hospital - I've been spending a lot of time alone with my thinking cap on and a glass of frappucino in my hand.
3. On another note, I came across a book penned down by a US surgeon named Atul Gawande practicing at the famous 'Brigham and Women's Hospital @ Boston' - entitled COMPLICATION. Which made me realise what was written there mimic 95% of my own experience when I was a junior doc with fresh pimples on my face.
Especially the 1st chapter on performing 'central line' which means piercing the neck with a 14-gauge metal needle (that's a hugeee one) into the biggest vein that run a course near the top of our lungs, in order to insert a flexible plastic tube which have to be positioned exactly at the outskirt of the heart.
That of course brings about to some potential complication such as puncturing the lung or hitting a big neck arteries called the carotid. Boy if that happen - someone gonna yell "We got a spurterrr!"
Smileeee. U just got cannulated big time!
"Medicine is an incomplete science with an ever changing frontier practiced by fallible beings on another fellow men.
To withold treatment would do unjustice to the suffering and preventable death.But certain treatment process in itself is filled with certain mishap and unforeseen side effect that could cause another type of harm to the human body. Which if happen... we got sued. So God help us all"
