fuzzy hazy day

it's the time of year again when the haze becomes worse..today as i walked out of the hospital where i work, felt bit fuzzy and suffocated just walking to the carpark..n it was just a 3-min walk!

the outbreak of H1N1 virus getting scarier day after day, already 8 deaths reported?!gosh, really terrifying..wash hands properly ppl n practice good self hygiene! wearing masks is a plus! hopefully this phase will quickly pass..

yesterday was my 1st anniversary of working! it's already a year..it was a very looong year me as a first year dental officer..i must say, it was a very interesting year of gaining unforgettable experiences..

speaking of which, just a week ago, we got a case of a 10-year old perfectly healthy boy was referred to us (oral surgery dept) with profused bleeding from the mouth n went into hypovolumic shock( meaning it's really2 not a good thing ), the boy may bleed to death..even my boss was pooled with the boy's blood!hours n hours of pressure packing in his mouth, we can't identify the source of bleeding then we decided to sent the patient to a vascular surgeon in hkl..the boy was suspected to hv malformation of his blood vessels (av malformation)..phew! that day was really nerve wrecking! hoped the boy will get better..
this definitely will be unforgotten forever!

during my uni days, we learnt more of the theory part, n were busy chasing to fulfill our schedule and requirements but in real life, the experience in the working force helped alot in handling patients day in day out..everyday there will be new knowledge n tactics we gain during our long years of working..

here's to years ahead of working!
