part of my world

One of the reasons why I love Temerloh is security. Security in the sense that in any case of diarrhoea, fever, sore throat, emesis and yada-yada.. help is just next door. Literally. No delayed management and choices of treatment is aplenty. So, you are kinda ensured that you won’t be sick for that long.
It’s human’s arrogance that one will think in a way “it will never happen to me”. Well, it did happen. Those cases about Renu® withdrawal and fungal keratitis you read and you go “aww.. poor thing”. Well, stromal abcess! How about that?
I learn about medication in a very weird and perhaps sadistic way. I mean, what is a better way to learn than through experience right? Well, another bit of gold nugget to share, gutt gentamicin used to whack stromal abcess is pretty powerful stuff. So powerful that it can be toxic to the cornea and cause trauma. Am not sure it’s the fortified genta 1.4% or the plain 0.3%. Ahh.. you say.. So now you know and perhaps it’s more adhesive to the brains. Btw, does that constitute an ADR? I should do a reporting.
Preservative free natural tears are worth the money.
No, am not upset about the abcess. In fact, I find it rather umm.. interesting. Another “experience” to my portfolio. I wouldn’t know and if I do, I wouldn’t remember that gutt genta has that ADR, ciloxan® = ciprofloxacin, fortified genta is 1.4% and genta is 0.3%, fortified genta is actually a little stinging to the eye, CMC ointment is horrible!, gutt CMC carries a bitter aftertaste, flourescein Na is really fluorescent mannn.. ahh.. I learnt so much! What a good way to learn! Experience is neurophilic and adsorbs really well.
The amazing thing about medicine is that I got 3 different diagnosis on a condition on the same day! It started with conjunctivitis, then proceeded to foreign body in the eye, and then stromal abcess. Wonderful, just wonderful…
I realize I resemble rabbit now more than anything. Red eyes, vegetable-consuming and fat (perhaps fluffy).
Had consumed more vegetables and fish in these few months more than I had ever consumed in a year. Hurray to that. I am no longer unique!
Next year, I vow to be an understanding, reasonable and a better him. I should be grateful to him for the motivation and hopefully won’t be called a potatohead
MC needs extension?? I didn’t know being sick falls under the category of incompetence and it’s deemed as lazy.
How is that possible? I actually met someone who doesn’t like to talk on the phone and has plenty of credit to treat his friends. I got free phone! Wheeee~~ What a blessing, God!
Seriously, it still amazes me how God works. The verse that goes, His ways are not ours, is simply awe-struck. What initially thought of as the-end-of-the-world-oh-God-why-and-please-kill-me-instead turned out to be simply awesome. I will actually miss this place terribly come August.
It’s just amazing how God provides. Taught me how to not look at things through my mortal eyes and not try to comprehend His plans. He, again and again, proved that He will not leave you nor forsake you even at the ends of the earth. Indeed omnipotent.
