GP

im in GP (general practitioner) rotation for 6 weeks. cpt gile tetibe da third week. and another 2 weeks left before final exam for GP. erkkkk...

i was in kilkenny last week. very nice small city. best! b&b pun best. GP clinic pun best! very nice people. rase rapat sgt ngn dorg. nearly cried before i had to leave last friday.

 i ate this for the first night. without any gravy or kicap. yes. this is the situation where u've to eat to live.

my GP doctor. so, i sat in the room, observe and assist. sometime have to talk to the patient, try to prescribe few medications, check BP, draw bloods, do physical exams. Dr. Fawsitt sgt best and baek. aaaaa miss him already.

And last week, i got a call from UCD GP coordinator saying that i have to change my GP placement from Foxrock to somewhere tbc due to some reasons. GP sakit kot. Foxrock is like 1+ hour away from my house and i need to take 2 buses to go there. and suddenly this morning i've been told to go to Whitworth Medical Centre and turn out to be just 10 min walk from my house! HAHA! yea!! Alhamdulillahh.. no need to travel every morning.

see? hanya sejengkal jari je da smpai from A to B.

and siap boleh balik rumah lagi for lunch because lunch break is 2 hours -.-''. in 2hours time, smpat msk nasi, kemas dapur, kemas bilik, makan. owh bahagia kalau nnt keje pun mcm ni. ok. nnt nak cari rumah sebelah hospital. att to those who may concern. kalau kat kilkenny, xsempat pun lunch sbb lunch break only half and hour. sempat makan roti je sekeping plus tea. and smbung for afternoon session. it was very busy in kilknenny but i enjoyed it. here, not so many patients maybe the fact that it's in the city and lots of other GP clinic available. so thats why xsebusy kilkenny. either way, i gained new experience both in rural and urban areas.

hmm.. GP can be one choice of career that i would consider (kalau malaysia implement GP system mcm kat sini la). besides less working hours, i feel closer to the patients. a lot of personal things/feelings involve in the relationship between GP and patients. and i like it. but there are a lot of limitiations and restrictions in primary care that limit our management of the patients. esp kalau patients xde health insurance or medical card cover. eventhough we want to help, but who can pay for their treatment? so, sometimes we just have to be realistic and try as much as we can to help. aaaaaaa im the type of person who's willing to help eventhough i need to use my own money to help others. so, if i were to be a GP someday in the future, it's not impossible for me to use my money to cover for my patients' treatment. erk is that a good or bad thing? -.-''
