finally completed my 4-week elective at UMMC..
met some doctors -- the chest team ppl r generally nice..met some new frens(oso caught up with some old imu frens who were doing their elective there as well..) saw some patients -- a lot of TB n bronchiectasis patients compared to those in melb..oso saw a death for the first time -- didnt really witness it as i was standing outside the curtains, but i was there -- a really complicated feeling..oso witnessed euthanasia for the first time(not vy sure whether the patient was alr brain-dead) -- the doctor removed her respiratory support, after extensive discussions with family n all the consultants..etc...
in conclusion, msian health system is quite different from the australian system..i guess every system has got its good n bad..but it's always so comfortable to b home...
anyway, special thanks to Prof Pang, Dr Chua n all the chest team ppl..
my holidays officially begin now..really wan to enjoy the rest of my hols to the max..heh..
n looking forward to CNY toooo..:)
