"Dr siapa yang tengok ni tadi? Oh, Dr Farhanah!"
Gulp. Telan air liur. Selama ni kalau patients panggil Dr, boleh lagi ckp, “Makcik, sy student je, belum jadi Dr lagi,” sambil tersengih...
Tp, bila yg panggil tu adalah Specialist sendiri, maka terkedulah seketika… lebih-lebih lagi depan private patients, takkan nak sengih-sengih ckp “Eh sy student lagi…” Jadi, tidak dapat tidak, muka pun diusahakan utk di‘control’ supaya kelihatan seprofessional yg mungkin.
Saat tu, baru tersedar.. org klate ckp ‘jetak’.. Seolah terkena renjatan elektrik. Tak lama lagi kita tak boleh dah berada di zon yg selesa. Tak lama lagi title DOCTOR tu bakal menggalaskan suatu tanggungjawab yg bukan sembarangan di atas bahu kita. Tanggungjawab yg melibatkan nyawa dan emosi manusia. Tanggungjawab yg sgt memerlukan keikhlasan, ketabahan, kekuatan, serta ketahanan mental, fizikal dan emosi yg kuat.
In the Ophthalmology Clinic...
My 1st, good-looking, 17-year-old male patient complained of colour blindness which he just started to notice a year ago. But he wasn’t really sure until his doubt was answered 2 months back during JPJ test when he faced difficulty in eliciting the numbers during colour vision test.
Dr. KMK first explained briefly regarding the pathophysiology of the condition. The cells are there, but for some unknown reason, they are not functioning. But the cells are present.
The patient however, wanted to become a pilot. But because of the strict colour codings used for pilots in landing planes especially, it was not a safe choice.
So, Dr counseled both the patient and his mother on the choices he could alternatively take in pursuing his dreams.
"This colour blindness should not stop you from achieving what you dream of, from doing what you want to do, or from being what you want to be. There are however certain fields in which colour-coded instructions may cause you slight difficulties, and may even be harmful to you. But there are sooo many other courses and paths you probably have never even thought of.
Remember, this is not the end for you. But this is the beginning for you to open up your heart for a wider range of choices, opportunities which are perhaps better than what you initially targeted for. There’s a better fate out there which Allah has destined for you, and He thus made this colour blindness as a turning point to diverge you to achieve the path which He has chosen for you, the choice which He knows is best for you…Believe me, you are going towards something better. You just need to look at it positively"
Betul ckp Dr
Aduh, ni contoh yg sangat jauh menyimpang dari tajuk sebenar ni. Ok, lupakan.
This is a true story which occurred to one of the patients in 5B, with a modified version.
Imagine this happening to you.
You are a newly married couple. You and your husband love each other sooo soo much. During your unforgettable honeymoon however, you met with an accident and you escaped the trauma uninjured. However, your beloved husband whom you love with all your heart, sustained a burst fracture of one of his cervical vertebrae with complete neurological deficit below the level of lesion. Unforgettable honeymoon indeed.
Neurological deficit by definition, does not only mean you have complete motor paralysis and total loss of sensation below the level of spinal cord injury, but remember you are also incapable of controlling your own bowel and urine output. And if the level is higher up you may not be able to breathe without the assistance of a ventilator, plus a lot more other complications, so depressing you would rather not think about it.
Imagine, just imagine! Should this tragedy truly happen to you, as the injured paralysed husband, or the depressed yet concerned wife, na’uzhbillah.
One minute you can walk, run, drive and do almost whatever you can possibly think of. But the next, in a split of a second, you cannot feel your 4 limbs at all, what more to be able to move them. You lie down static in spinal board, with a skull traction screwed in your head, you cannot move any parts of your body except your eyes and mouth. Worse off, you cannot even control the daily emptying of your own bladder and rectum. Some may not be able to swallow. One minute you are the breadwinner, the head of the family. The next, you are on diapers and someone has to wash you up every now and then. Or, in words which are less harsh, you become totally bedridden and completely dependant on others.
Benarlah, Allah Maha Kuasa dan berhak menarik kembali nikmat yang dipinjamkanNya pada sesiapa jua di kalangan hambaNya, pada bila-bila masa sahaja. Dan status sebagai seorang hamba, tentulah senantiasa layak diuji Pemiliknya!
Yes, some may find this narration familiar, kan? A ‘tragic honeymoon’ is what they name it. What happened to this particular patient however, is slightly different. It wasn’t a tragic honeymoon, and the wife is already pregnant with their first child, Alhamdulillah. However, all the other disabilities mentioned about the husband are real.
Imagine, and imagine again. This could happen to anyone.
From the Islamic viewpoint, of course Allah knows whoever amongst His slaves who are tested, must be capable of enduring that particular trial. For in a hadith narrated by Imam Tirmizhi and Ibnu Majah, it has been mentioned, “The people most (tested) on trials are the Anbiyaa’. Thereafter, those closest to them.” (verified as sahih by al-albani). A person would therefore be tested in conformity to his strength of iman. If he is firm in his Deen, his trials become more intensive.
But then again, if this happens to you…
If the injured party is the wife, I would be almost certain that the husband would gladly find another wife or wives, and at the same time, he may or may not keep taking care of the ill first wife…
But what if you are the wife? At first you may be grateful your husband’s life is spared. But after 4 or 5 years taking care of a completely paralysed husband, hmm… I keep thinking would I be able to be as strong as the patient’s wife if the same test falls upon me. You cannot marry another while still being a wife to someone. Let’s say you are still young… And your first (and probably last) honeymoon before the incident did not yield a pregnancy… So, would you think of…?
If you are the injured husband, would you let your wife go?
Of course, there is no definite answer. Because multiple factors deserve consideration. It sometimes strikes me why in the world would I spend time dwelling on others’ problem? But being a mere human, we have feelings. And there’s this thing called ‘heart’ in me, which becomes easily touched when seeing cases as such. Patients ask me all sorts of questions about their diseases or problems, but more often than not, it is me who learn from them.
Day 1 (Monday)
4 cases:
1. Sudden natural death - IHD
2. MVA - comminuted skull fracture
3. Suicide - CO poisoning (serious mmg PINK)
4. Murder - laceration wound a.k.a. "luka sayat" at abdomen + stab wound causing massive haemothorax
Day 2 (Tuesday)
4 cases:
1. Drowning - the one who drove himself into Lombong Tasik Prima. He was a known case of psychiatric illness; the body had started to decompose by the time it reached us. I assisted this case and unconsciously backed off a bit because of the strong ‘scent’, but was told, “Apa duk jauh tu, datang la dekat2 ni haa, amik bau dulu”.. Hmm.. ok fine.. lepas assist the autopsy, terus tak boleh makan daging.
2. Sudden natural death - IHD
3. MVA - massive cardiac tamponade
4. Suicide - CO poisoning
Day 3 (Wednesday)
We had no incoming cases, but because there is no rest in Forensic Serdang, so we had puzzles to solve that afternoon. 2 sets of mixed up bones of 2 bodies found months ago had to be reassembled into their respective normal anatomical position, and the question was – Determine the cause of death.
2 cases:
1. Murder
2. Murder jugak
Hm, I’m not supposed to be telling you the answer. Both were murdered but how? You need to find out yourselves nanti. Kang soalan bocor tak seronoklah, sbb another 16 are going to be posted in Hospital SERDANG later
Day 4 (Thursday)
- Hospital CME from Anaesthesiology department
- Lecture on Gunshot injury by Prof Karim + special police guests to demonstrate on weapons – wah, berat bangat rupanya senapang tu.. pistol yg kecik pun berat jugak.. tapi berat2 pun, sempat lagi bergaya..
- Finishing report, filling up logbooks, preparation for our CME presentation on Friday
Day 5 (Friday)
- CME day – 2 presentations by HOs, 2 by students in the morning
- Afternoon - MAKAN!! Best sgt, macam-macam ada. Nasi Bukhari, fruits, custard cocktail, kuih-muih, Chocolate indulgence cake… alhamdulillah, kenyang perut..
- After Jumaat, we had 1 more case to assist, an MVA. Hmm, merasalah potong kepala org..(kalau siapa yang tak pakai spec tu, bawaklah spec tipu punya. sebab habuk skull tu akan berterbangan di udara dan sangat mudah utk memasuki mata anda. Dia guna cutter mcm nak potong POP tu)
- After the autopsy at about 4.20pm, we proceeded with a lecture entitled “Suicide” by Prof Karim.
- He wanted to continue with 2 other CME presentations by another 2 groups of students who had not presented earlier, but since the cases were similar by the ones presented by the H.Os, so Prof cakap tak payah. Hm, kalau tak, tak tahu la balik pukul berapa.
Each case had its own storyline and history. Histories which I’m not sure if I should reveal. Looking at death notes left before suicidal attempts, the cries of their grief-stricken family members, the ways or methods they had chosen to end their own life, the faces of shocked relatives during pengecaman mayat… All seemed to be like a drama in front of us. But we were quickly reminded, it was real. We dealt with police and investigative officers for the 1st time. Rupanya diorang juga manusia biasa, cuma nampak hebat and segak sket sebab pakai uniform smart.. When I asked Prof if we would have the chance to go to the court, he said, “Senang je nak masuk mahkamah ni. Buat nakal-nakal sket, dapatlah masuk mahkamah!” Aduh, nakal-nakal ni usah disebut, biarlah ia berakhir di posting Orthopaedics..
Alhamdulillah, by Allah’s will, we had the chance to encounter a variety of manners and causes of death. From natural causes, to suicide, murder, and accidents.
To be continued… sory mcm essay 3000 words pulak.. skit je lagi eh..
A week in Forensic Department, Hospital SERDANG was like a week in Orthopaedics, in a sense that we had to attend seminars, lectures, case presentations/department CME, hospital CME, and at the same time assist autopsies, prepare for our own CME presentation, and finish a report by Friday which was like a case write-up. Most importantly we had to go back after 5 every day! Mmg lah balik pukul 5
But the best thing was, all the staffs, from the PPK to the ‘small’ big boss, were all very very friendly, down to earth, funny, cooperative, and everyone was willing to teach and share their knowledge.. They spoke and borak2 to us as if we were their staffs and kids yg dah kenal sejak sekian lama, and they all regarded us as their fellow colleagues who are therefore permitted to use some but not all of the basic facilities, and... obliged to treat them makan2 at the end of the week – ni yg paling seronok =)
1 week felt like a month!
We were given a new logbook, not for RM3 but for free, and the rule was simple. Each student had to observe 10 cases, and perform/assist at least 2.
So, we divided ourselves into pairs, so that each group will have the chance to assist. On the very 1st day, the ‘breathtaking’ experience started. Wah, breathtaking indeed. Sampai tak bernafas dalam autopsy room tu. Yelah, 1st timers kan. In the morning of our 1st day, we had the 'joy' of observing 2 cases after our brief orientation by MA Hairi.. And in the afternoon, dah takde observe2 dah. Wear your gowns and assist!
The sight of them cutting off human organs seemed very familiar. Let me try and recall… oh ya, pagi2 kalu pegi pasar, kat bahagian jual daging tu mcm tu lah diorang potong. But this time, the aroma was even more incredibly incredible! ;)
