A session with our beloved Dean...

28th July 2008
8.00 a.m
Medicine tutorial room
Selayang Hospital


Early in the morning, 12 of us waited in the room. We were about to receive a briefing on our new posting. Everyone looked so enthusiastic and i could say, brave! Were they?
Clock ticking! Finally, doctors arrived, looked fantastic!

The next few minutes, we were receiving info matters for the posting. The GROUPING, the log book, the lectures, the bedside teachings etc etc..

Then, without further ado, our dean stepped forward and ready to give his WINNING tips! He practically shared every single thing that we've missed or maybe we've accidentally forgotten.

So, i deduced from the briefing that Final year is going to be a very tough and unfair Examination. You could be failed even by missing a small thing (which is considered so darn important before a student turns to be a doctor). And seriously, when he told me this (practically he told everyone in the class la...), i was so chickened out. Speechless, mum and shivering.

Then, he briefed us on how examiner wants things to be done. How history to be collected and organised nicely. It was supposed to be an extremely a basic thing and concept but believe me, student loves to forget fundamental stuff and remember rarities instead!!! ¬ Me definitely included!

I want to quote precious sentences that he uttered:

1. 5 things students would never ever forget in their life are:
a. Makan
b. Movies
c. SMS
d. Tidur
e. Etc etc

2. "Do u think it's fair?! No, It's not. That's what i'm saying.

3. "This going to be a very crucial examination since people from Arau to Tawau would hear about it"

4. "Have ur own notes"

5. "Spend undisturbed time reading ur book and be inquisitive, asking question as u move along"

He conveyed zillions of treasured messages and i was so grateful (Still am) to be in this medical faculty. Great people are besieging me and ready to give a helpful hand. But i still need to apply what they keep reminding us " We did wut we could but the bulk of job is urs"

P.s Sorry if the quotations are mistakenly taken and put
