Life between pre-call, on-call & postcall

Posted by: edric4wp on: 7 July 2010

Time flies as I went through paeds department. All I could say that it is overall a good training. Met some of the cutest children. And some not so cute, but certainly memorable ones.

In particular, the baby who loves to smile and had the habit of taking a deep breath when one blew air onto his face. (malabsorbtion syndrome)

Then there is the boy who can only count the number 4. (Eventration of diaphragm)

Then the boy who smile and say ‘hi’ to doctor eventhough he is literally out of breath.
(pneumonia)

The girl who stop crying when I sing ‘you’ve got a friend in me’. (hyperactive airway disease)

The boy who remind me of cookie monster :)
(pierre-robin syndrome)

The girl who like to scratch her backside. (barter syndrome)

The boy who want the precise piece of his Nasi himpit size covered with even spread of peanut gravy. (steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome)

The boy who can still eat chipsmore cookies while having his iv line inserted. (acute lymphoblastic leukemia)

They will all be part of my treasured memories who got me through this hectic department.

yeah.. paeds was a really memorable posting.. i did consider doing it once, but then i don’t think i can take the stress :) not like medical is any easier :p miss u and our rendezvous moments– like eating chendol at your favourite stall ;) hehe.. glad you got through half of it ( or is it all of it now?), and you’re well on your way to becoming a responsible doctor who loves his patients and also has compassion for them :) well done yip!
