You know you’re a medical student when… (part 2)
Salam alayk...
Apa kata kita sambung facts about medical students... Tick if it is true :p
21. Your friend is upset/distressed about something and you think “Yes, a mental health issue that I can practise my skills on!”
22. You work out so that you get a six pack, so that you will make a good simulated patient for the seniors.
- xde la sanggup offer nak jadi simulated patient
23. You hold/shake your friend/partner’s hand for more than 15 seconds and realise you’re taking their pulse.
- pe-lik!!!
24. You still have never had a boyfriend/girlfriend (ever) by the time you qualify. And you don’t bother, since the divorce rate is 70% for physicians.
- betul ke ni???
25. Your friend/cousin zooms in front of you with his brand new car and treats you to lunch with his own paycheck and on top of that, talks about property and houses to buy. And you’re still struggling to buy second hand reference books.
- sabor je lah ye... huhu~
26. You find yourself always carrying a pen even if you’re out for a date/lunch/dinner.
27. You have exams in a few days and when you try doing practice questions, you don’t know what to do with your pen besides underlining the key words in the question.
- hehe, betul la pulak... :p
28. Conversations with people involve “So tell me what happened.”, “So how does that make you feel?”, and “I understand it must be very difficult for you.”
- ni la dikatakan sebahagian daripada PPD component... haha~
29. You have a fever/flu/cold/cough/sore throat and can’t rest until you identify which patient caused it. Better not be that HIV or TB patient.
- xde la sampai nak cari patient mana yang transmit the virus. tapi memang yakin sebabnye dari patient.
30. You seem to know too much gossip about too many people, and yet you’re not sure how that happened.
31. You’re 100% sure you’re fat/chubby because of Cushing’s, ascites, hypothyroidism or oedema.
- ni memang medical student syndrome tahap kronik!
32. You often wonder why the heck you even bothered to take medicine when you know you’ll work nights, be underpaid and always have to keep the clients (patients) happy. Just like a hooker.
33. You're overly proud of the fact that you have a non-medic friend. And they’re not invisible.
- nasib baik tak lost contact dengan kawan2 sekolah dulu...
34. You’re cleaning a patient’s wound (draining pus or any other gruesome theme) and keep thinking about what to have for lunch.
- tengah tengok forensik pun sempat fikir lepas ni nak makan nasi lemak ke, nasi ayam?
35. You feel upset that everybody is going back early for summer and feel like doing nikah mut`ah, just so you don’t talk to the wall for two months.
- bosan sangat ke medic life ni sampai rasa cam nak nikah mut`ah? tak de lah... nonsense!
36. You describe the hall as hyperechoic, the paint on the wall as anaemic and the bookshelf as elevated.
- tembikai yang kurang merah as anaemic, tembikai kuning as jaundiced! haha~
37. You have a peak moment in life when a senior says “good” or “well done”; it’s so relieving to know you’re not a complete drain on society.
38. Your intelligence/stupidity and fitness to practise is assessed based on which medical school you go to.
- someone said, "UKM student is the best". dunno, you judge...
39. You get turned on by every other male doctor, but feel nothing when performing a testicular examination on a young fit (soldier!) patient. Without gloves.
40. You’re content knowing that you actually do lead a normal and sane life. Even if it’s just a few hours in a day, while you’re asleep.
To be continued...
