Catatonic State
Woohoo..It has been long since I last write in my online journal.Can see the spider starting to spin its web. But nyah u from my blog.Shooh~~
My life has been very interesting enuff these past two weeks. I've been bombarded by two mcqs,every alternate days.Starting with
Human Anatomy and
Medical Biology on Friday.I passed
biology with
warna2 berterbangan but failed horrendously my anatomy hehe.But then I still pass because of average marks were above 70.And on this very day I started my cycle (posting) in Psychiatry. [
Waa..the computers are totally new.Love the keyboard]
Then On Monday,another two mcqs :
Path Anat and
Histo. Passed both.Average of coz la pass kan?
Then today :
Biochemistry and
Pharmacology. I passed.
Whew..Another 3 subjects to go then next month another trial. Before I am going to sit for
Krok Exam National Level [
Kinda like SPM I think,we've to answer the same 200 questions with the rest of 4th year medical students in Ukraine]
My posting in Psychiatry had proven to be a wonderful cycle. I love all the terms [
which sound sooooooooooooooo intelligent..hehe Shcperrung,gedankenlautwerden..blabla] and I love my prepadavatel [lecturer] who is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo erm he is not handsome but
dashing is the right word i guess. I totally love his British accent. His knowledge and his explanation.And I have another woman teacher [alternately they teach us] who is back to work.Eventho in Ukraine working mom got
paid leave for 1 year after delivery. Her child is only 6 month old.She must love the hospital so much hehe.
The hospital is quite big but very erm
ugly? I donno.But simply said if u r normal ppl and u got admitted there u can leave to be a very sick person indeed.Or maybe u might not be able to leave at all. Ahahhaha.I found all psychiatric wards are like this.Dull and
there's this kind of smell n atmosphere which I totally hate.There'r high walls everywhere.Gardens. A "tanah lapang".
The hospital caters to 1000 mentally ill patients from 90 years old [the eldest] to kindergarten aged children.[
I never knew there are so many classification of mental illness]. Oh yeah,in the hospital there are 4 types of patients :
1.Patients with criminal record and agressive behaviour
2.Patients who are mildly agressive ? [I dunno the term,forget dy]
3.Patients who can go out during the day but be back before 5
4.Patients who can go back home [Outpatient treatment]
In Monday,my classmates n I and my parallel classmates went on a short excursion around the hospital.Getting familiarize with the environment n surroundings.We went to this one ward.Painted in white.With locks n bolt on the door. There are a few patients laid motionless on their respective beds.Some were staring at the wall. While some seems sober enuff to ask us questions but we can see the
pupils glimmering and big -a sign that those people are OD- Only when we returned to class we get to kno,those pts r pts with agressive behaviour.No wonder they were heavily sedated .My, If i knew I might have stay put at the blue room [for class 2 n 3 patients].
And there were quite a few incidents which will be forever engraved to my memory [
I do hope so. But no one can fight Alzheimer's when it comes attacking-Nauzubillah.].
There were this patient,Mrs Jane Doe. 45 yr old lady.Heavily built. She spoke decent English.She understood.We were exchanging pleasantries.Talk about some forgettable matter. Before she half shouted to me n my frens "
Dont F*ck My Brain" ahahaha..Boy,I was laughing.I knew it was unethical but I couldnt help myself .Later I will refrain myself from such unseeming behaviour. But it was really-really funny.Because the F word came so suddenly without anyone expecting it.
And there were another patient who showed a
lewd magazine to us. Hehe.
Another female patient were seen showing her tummy to a fren [I suppose] and were discussing bout her tummy.
Then,suddenly out of nowhere there came this old lady.She was so surprised to see my teacher and was telling us that she was her vrach [doctor] and she was so happy. She grabbed my teacher's hand before she kissed it then she kissed her elbow .She still let her do the kissing.
Then she kissed my teacher's BUTT! Hahaha..How can they expect me to stay calm n sober? A nurse then grabbed her and was seen scolding the old lady.[
Pity her tho.The Russians can be a frightful bunch when they are angry or worked up]
Well,that's all I guess for today.I am glad both my teachers are the kind who love to teach .Not like some of my frens whose teacher just gave them notes and the rest of the day were spent idly.But the psychiatry hospital has not cease to amaze me.
But I had known for sureI am not going to be a psychologist or anywhere to that field. Ameen TS~
