may i take a look at your abdomen please??

first and foremost

dont think me as a pervert

*the title was just one phrase i learnt today*

today

i had my first clinical skill learning for this particular semester

and it was on history taking & physical examination of the gastrointestinal tract

*the third system after cardiovascular and respiratory*

i was expecting it to be hard and complicated

*seeing the video at first, i didnt understand a single thing*

but Alhamdulillah

my, our group's facilitator is such a very young and good doctor

Dr. Faiz Daud

a orthorhinolaryngologist

*correct me please if i spelled it incorrectly*

he's funny

soft-spoken

appreciate every effort that we put in the discussion

he's a good teacher

i can actually practise the physical examination now

and i believe i can teach others too

*showing how good he had taught us and how all of us understand what we are supposed to understand*

he tried very hard to memorised all of our names

*there's 10 of us in a group*

at last

he remembered i believe all of us including mye whom he decide to call sofia

mye was reluctant at first

but eventually she just let go

*personally,i think sofia is a beautiful name...it sounds very feminine...me likey!!!*

at the end of the day

i know how to measure the liver span which should be 8-12 cm in normal individual
i know that the abdomen is resonant on percussion except for the liver area
i know kidneys arent ballotable in normal individual
and
i know that the spleen can only be palpated and will sound dull on percussion when there's enlargement

i know these things might sound lame to some others

and may be just simple things

but

every complex and great thing is known by knowing the simple ones first

*i quoted this from myself~~~ =D*

till then

xoxo

p/s : there'll be a video conference with Tuanku Mukhriz tomorrow morning....i wonder which baju kurung to be worn...mmmmmm~~~~
