11th Day of Elective

2day is quite rewarding!!! It's a Pharmacology Day!!! Was sent to the pharmacy department in the morning. Followed Pharmacist-Stephanie for a while, then we were asked to find CVS drugs from the shelves. Wow, there are plenty of drugs there, really salute pharmacist and pharmacy students, damn a lot of drugs to be memorized, haha! We brought back a lot of templet too,wakaka! Hmm...let's c...CVS Drugs: Brand Name: Diovan---Generic name: Valsartan--Angiotensin II antagonist for hypertension. Brand name: Enahexal---Generic name: Enalapril maleate--ACE inhibitor for hypertension and heart failure. Brand name: Exforge---Generic name: Combination between Amlodipine( Ca ion channel blocker) & Valsartan (Angiotensin II antagonist), Brand name: Rasitol---Generic name: Furosemide--Diuretic agent, Brand name: Ezetrol---Generic name: Ezetimibe--lipid-lowering drug...Huh...too much drugs dy, scary..then went to Physio Department to learn from Miss Su LeeNa,head of physiotherapist. Saw a patient with cerebellar ataxia and another with ataxia with bleeding in brain. Both cannot really control the movement of limbs, the sight really makes me feel terribly sad, but happy to see when they are improving in term of movements from day to day, and I am really salute the family for not giving up on them. So doctor too, don't ever give up on your patients so easily next time!!! We need to help them! In the afternoon, went to Nephrology department to find Dr. Bill Chau. Hmm...he explained to us about haemodialysis in a very detailed way, great great. Learn quite much from him. He gave us some advices on our medical pathway too...really appreciate that!!! Hmm....ENT, Ophthalmologist, Pediatrician, which 1 should I choose? Should listen to crackles on child when they are crying first before I can make any decision, hehe. It's a great day!!!

Lesson of the day:

Dr. Bill Chau (Nephrologist) said:

You have to like what you have chosen. To be a good doctor, you need to know that you have to do constant reading to keep you updated. It is because Medical field is always evolving!
