Remedial Period

After passing the final exam last year, some of my friend and i were held in the university to do a remedial surgery posting as a punishment of negligence of our attendance in the posting. I can't remember any part of my surgical posting that i didn't attend for more than a week. yes, i acknowledge that i ditch 2WR and 2seminars in the 2 months posting however my group has been the busiest surgery grup in my whole batch. we had about 2-3 wr a week compared to others that may have 2-3 wr in 2 weeks. Surgery posting has become legendarily known as a honeymoon posting since our seniors time. The only positive things that i can pickup before i'm attending this posting was 'at least we won't have to do the elective report' and take it as motivation to go through the posting.

On the first day, we were separated to 2 groups, total 5 of us were divided to a group of 2 and 3. Arina and I was in a group and mizan,izzati and fauziah in other group. My grup were attached to Colorectal Surgery team lead by Prof April Roslani and the others were attached to Breast Surgery Team lead by Prof Yip HW. We were closely monitored by our supervisor, Dr Chong HY. This time, an absent was not tolerable and we may not be able to proceed to phase 3B if there was another problem.

Our routine was to follow their team early morning wr, clerk all the team's patient(basically almost half of 7 u), follows clinic on monday, going to OT every Tuesday and Thursday, present a case on wednesday and friday. Usually the lec will let us off after 1 and we will have a beautiful afternoon in the room or went out.

weeks come and go, we finally end the whole compulsary 8weeks. A lot have we learned through the period and somewhat prepared our mind for the next 1 and half year. Thank you to Dr Chong and his team. we really appreciate it
