Sleep again

i fall asleep ...suddenly..
why?
am i tired?
not enough sleep?
that people or even me say it

or it is more about that.. i dont know..

2 cups of coffee do not effect me at all. not even sweet. moving my legs,head and hand also not really effective. i went out to run when the gaps between lecture..still not helping..

i slept most in the lectures and practical class (skin).. quite blurr what i had learned today.
the day that had most of PPD lecture it happen again.

do i need to standing in lecture? how long can i struggle with it?
everyone getting bored to wake me up..hm..me too i guest. (thank for people thank help me to awake)



Ya Allah, please help me. give me strength.. be strong ...help me to cope with it.

Please be ACTIVE......you have to find how to overcome it..not just give reason.

GAmbatee!

any suggestion to overcome sleepness please tell me :)


RIGHT NOW...please see the recap back!!!! make sure you are not left behind..

Gathering Information 2

during yesterday lecture and today seminar about gathering information 2 these is what can i wrote:

type of question involve

1. open question (eg:what make you come to me today...can you tell me what do you feel...)
2. statement
3. clarifying question (get detail eg: you said you feel pain in your chest.can your describe more about it?)
4. problem question (get detail: kind similar too clarifying but it start from problem)
5. close question (usually have one answer eg : yes/no)

we was practising to use open question,close question,and summerising.

1. open question

• the benefit of this type of question it helps a lot for the interviewer get an overview what going on.
• usually interviewer tend to listen carefully and ask open question and statement to initiate interviewee to talk
• interviewee tend to talk more , and the content of the conversation mostly was dominated by the interviewee (she can talk what she want)
• the conversation runs smoothly
• but the interviewer cannot know the detail from the conversation.

2. close question

• interviewer tend to talk more (more question needed to get the information)and will be running out question easily
• interviewee tent to easily answer the question without thinking deeply because the question will be usually one answer (eg: yes/no)
• the conversation not running smoothly

3. summarising

• a powerfull method to show to the interviewee that the interviewer is listening
• help the interviewer get the information correctly and precisely
• interviewee tend to hear back and add the additional point or the missing point.
• tips if the interviewer is running out of the question

the was a video session about patient and doctor. we being discuss together how to responce to the patient.

conversation:

what do you feel? (no matter what do not always express your feeling to patient unless it suitable time)

what the patient feel?

platitudinous response? (dismiss the patient feeling) eg : it ok everthing will be alright.

emphatic response?

eg:

I adknowledge that you are....

I can see you have a very difficult time. what can i do for you?

dont ever say I understand that..........

because we just imaging the feeling ..

look like i must practise more to create open question, platitudinous respons,emphathic respons..

if you all have any example of the question,how to respon or to comment ,i glad to know that .

that all..need to go to my english class :writing this evening .

smile always and stay focus

jazakallahu khairan,

7. check for palmar erythmia( tgn bwh ) and flapping (tgn 90 darjah)
8. check pulse rate *
   
9. ask patient to turn left- check for JVP raise ask patient to stick out tounge and lift it upward - (see any anemia or central cyanotic*)
10. look for the anemia(pale) and jaundice( yellow) when ask patient to look up and look down while streching it.

being a life saver

yesterday we had second lecture in CPR and some practise on OCSE . plus with tips in OSCE

i will have an osce this friday. there will be 3 station which is CPR, venessation, and chest examination.

1.CPR

only working for primary cardiac arrest
remember this at least 3 possibility what cause the people to collapse


primary cardiac arrest = heart attack, unresponsive + not breathing / breathing abnormally
steps:
- people collapse
-> enviroment safe
-> unresponsive
-> call for help
-> check for foreign body in mouth
-> open airways and hear and look to the chest to check breathing + pulse ( not breathing /breathing abnormally)
-> call for ambulance (999)
-> do CPR ( 30 chest compression:2 ventilation)
-> continue until ambulance came or patient become conscious

beware:
1. check pulse correctly ( right or left near carotid artery)
2. the neck when want to open the airways
3. chest compression 100 beat per min
4. patient conscious -put into recovery position, then assist


this is what i learn and i tried to recall it back..well look simple but to do the correct steps it not easy....but huh....my hand shacking for the first time doing it.need more practise.

chest examination?
need to be finish examination and summarise within 5 min. can I?
well i know the step but not really sure why we have to do that
for example : purpose of tar stain, flapping, anemic, jaundice, and why all that relate to chest examination.
need to fine the answer first.
there will be not really enjoyable when just remember the step but i dont really know why i am doing that and it relation on chest examination..
if someone know please tell me ..ok?
