It's been a long time...

It's been a long time since I last updated this blog,well to my reader(yes it's singular and I read my blog)An Endocrine In Course Assessment was just done last week. Been busy on the basketball lately.Note to Vista residents,if you hear "dup dup dup" something like the sounds of basketball bouncing on a tar road,always think straight,it is the sound of basketball bouncing,not your neighbour in the next room humping. I have not much to say nor story to tell lately.What else can say here?Currently into the Reproductive system.Something that the lecturer said the other day that makes me wonder on how to really take a sexual history.I can imagine a few scenarios since the lecturer said that people tend to be more shy and discreet in this matter.Come on,if I ask you,how many times you have sex in a year,how many will you think can answer?As for me,*take out my calculator,tap tap tap,*whoah....,anyway that's not my point here.On discreetness: Case 1 Patient : Doktor,*cough cough*....erm.....batang saya...... ada sikit gatal kat hujung Doc : (WTH?Batang???Some Malaysian may not know what it is,less to say the meaning implied here) Jadi sudah berapa lama gatal? Always remember chief complaints must be always listed with the duration Since men tend to be shy in this matter,probably they will form a support group to see the doctor,just like when in a group of guys,a guy will be more daring to whistle at a passing leng lui.Same theory applies I guess.Which brings me to this scenario: Case 2 Patient A : Doktor,semalam gua sama 2 heng tai saya ini pergi tu Jln Ayam "makan ayam goreng" Hari ini,*cough cough*...saya rasa batang saya ada sikit gatal....jadi saya tanya hengtai saya,mereka pun bikin sama pasal. Patient B : (rudely interrupt)Dia punya pasal la,pergi makan ayam,tak bawa duit,jadi panggil satu ayam sahaja.Tengok,balak saya pun ada sama problem...-_-" Patient C : #@$!%You two only itchy,my little brother swollen leh... Doctor : -_-"" Case 3 Imagine a doctor that just came back from foreign soils,one who has lost touch with the local culture,working in a hospital Patient : Doktor, my lan pa darn pain Doctor : Lumbar pain?So how long has it been? Case 4 Patient : I notice my plug nowadays very hard to get it working.But then I think my wife's socket is spoilt.Very hard to turn up the heat. Doctor : Er.....I am a doctor,not an electrician.Get an electirician to fix your heater. Patien : -_-" So there a few examples of discreetness in a presenting sexual complaints in a Malaysian society.Just some craps that come to my mind,thus they are all made up from my creatively obscene innovative mind. Till next time,sayonara.
