Blog Rounds II
posted in - Blog rounds, - Palmdoc |Vagus recounts how to Err is Human. Yup we all make mistakes, and let me share with you a quote: “Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again”.
Lettie has taken to Weeds but of the edible variety. I thought “weed” in the US of A meant something else 
Poor Jimbo lost his stethoscope – oh dear, an expensive loss. Those Litmann’s Classics cost about RM300 each. I put labels on mine (security feature haha) – the type used as wrist bands for patients admitted to hospital. At least the steth won’t be “accidentally” taken by anyone else. Jimbo made it thru his call, and yes I agree, competent MOs “manning the wall” make a difference. But Jim, I thought “Coming out the Closet” meant something else?
HOTM takes on a political note and reviews the events leading to TunDrM’s recent “mild” heart attack. Interesting persepective of the events from a cardiologist’s POV. Like HOTM we wish Tun Dr M all the best for a speedy recovery – latest news being he’s out of the CCU (and out of the UMNO general assembly too so it seems).
SerembanBoy seems more cheery now that Mum has sent Cookies of Love. What will we do without Mothers?
Fang talks about the Compartmentalisation of Medicine. How true. When we send referrals out to the various sub-specialists for co-management, I wonder how less we are as “complete” doctors and physicians. Perhaps this is just a manifestation of how complex medicine has become today. Its alarming though to read how the public hospitals still face overcrowding and “full house with extension beds until the corridor”.
PalmoAnest had a “kembang moment” when his poster presentation came to the attention of the Editor of Acute Pain. Well done!
Our medical blogosphere also includes educational and instructive blogposts for doctors and students. Hands teases us with Look and see, what’s this? : curious white object looking to me like an eyeball peering out from the bowels! PACES MRCP reminds us again on Marfan syndrome. Nice pictures! MRCP1&2 tells of a simple classification to remember the causes of Polycythaemia
Johan’s medical student blog is interesting. He shares how medical students should really learn medicine – not from only books but at the clinics and the bedside, watching, observing. You see real Malaysian Medicine in action: “advice for MO life “Do things fast, but do things detailed. Each patient averages around 3 minutes per visit”. While studying medicine locally, you get to experience what Malaysian Medicine is all about, studying medicine overseas gives you the opportunity to savour a different culture and sometimes breathtaking scenery as YP illustrates in Giant’s Causeway
Lastly we leave you with Tru-Asian who blogs about our community “becoming a faceless and voiceless society especially with the increasing popularity of blogging and text messaging”. He thinks though that this is a channel for autistic individuals to express themselves. I think its important that we all find some way to express ourselves. Tru-Asian does it via his brilliant paintings!
That’s it for the Blog rounds this week and the posts we noted from the Doctors‘ and Students‘ blog rolls. You can view aggregated feeds in our Web Forums and Blogs page.
