Attachment at Island Hospital

Soooo Mummy Dearest, very shockingly, arranged for me to 'productively' spend my time back in Penang last July during the break before Rotations started...

ONE WEEK OF TREADING AROUND THE HOSPITAL LIKE I ACTUALLY KNOW STUFF!
(Haha and I was even mistaken to be a doc by nurses and patients. Sweat!)

I was under the supervision of Dr. Goh Huck Keen, Physician & Nephrologist (Kidney Specialist) primarily... and spent the first and last days with him.

Dr. Goh and I... (Some people say we look like brothers hehe =P)

Other days were spent under the tutelage of:
Dr. Aw Kok Teng, Radiologist...
Dr. Hwang Yee Chern, Paediatrician & Tropical Health Consultant...
and her husband, Dr. Aaron Lim, Sports Medicine and Orthopaedics Surgeon (incidentally, he cut up most of my bones previously) Haha

Camwhoring in the Surgeon's Changing Room with ma ' scrubs

Stoning in the Operation Theatre while Dr. Aaron was performing a laparascopic Shoulder Repair Surgery, he was blasting Techno and Electro Music in the background.

Dr. Aaron was explaining the anatomy of the shoulder joint to me. ROFL... But I don't know anything about that YET! *GASP*

ALL OF THEM were very very super nice and taught me a lot of stuffs lo. Treating me like a real deal clinical student. Pretty intimidated at first. Dr. Hwang even taught me how to carry out a neonatal screening. I KNOW HOW TO PERFORM THE ORTOLANI & BARLOW MANEOUVRES D!!! (to check for any congenital hip dislocation)

Lotsa stuff to tell la. But well I lazy la. Maybe some other time. Just wanted to upload some pics I took the other time.

Funny notice in the Radiology Department restroom. LOL

In another life I would have loved to be a doctor saving lives. I guess having a friend who's one is close enough! I want free consultation next time ya!

Now to get a friend becoming a pilot...
