Aku dan adik yang sakit 'radang otak'

And seriously, that situation was pathetic and hard. It made my eyes slightly  accumulated with tears and deep down broken inside. That kid, an Indian boy. he screamed out loud until the whole ward can hear him. I was in the next room. Did a physical examination upon a 1 month age boy who was diagnosed with bronchiolitis. I ran to the next room!

.

That boy screamed almost like hell! This is painful!!! He had severe headache that started a few days back. I didn't clerk his case, so I can't figure out the specific history. But he looked severely irritated. He knocked and kicked anything and everything around him!

"Stat the vancomycin now sister!"

"Ok doctor"

.

"He might have radang otak. Stat for lumbar puncture and CSF analysis", said the MO. 

.

I left the room. As my eyes can't cope with the feeling that I felt. Sad. Kecik-kecik dah kena gitu. (*Hati tisu*) Jangan nangis. Jangan nangis. 'Mengong Dr Najwa neyh eh', cengeng! - student lagi. Latihan boleh lagi!- Hati kental! Ok, bleh berhenti merepek ndak? -senyap.

.


Rupanya. Yang Dr sebut 'radang otak tu', meningitis. Patut stat lumbar puncture (cucuk bahagian blkg kau, ambik CSF fluid. Check ada bacteria ka ndak).

.

And your friend actually dah clerk that case. She said, that boy memang meningitis. Die dah sakit kepale lame dah. Xsilap sebelum die masuk, die ade fitz (sawan), last night pun die ade fitz. Rolling up of the eyeball. Tapi last night mak die xnampak. Nurse yang nampak. 

'sadis'

.


Meningitis ni apa Naj? - It is a life threatening condition. Where bacterial infection of the meninges occur. Means, ada layer dekat otak tu yang terkena jangkitan kuman. Bila kena ni, kau ada demam, sakit kepala yang teruk and leher kau rasa kejang-kejang. Ha, cepat-cepat ke hospital ya! Kalau anak-anak ada ni pun, kena cepat-cepat di larikan ke hospital. Jangan sambil lewa!

.


Bacteria yang salu buat huru-hara ni namanya streptococcus pneumoniae. Gram positive bacteria. Lancet shape diplococcus. Kalau neonate salu dapat from maternal vagina lepas dorang di lahirkan. In this case, it might be dari in contact with other person through respiration. Sebab menurut kawan, dulu kakak patient ni pun pernah kena fitz, without meningitis masa umur 3-6 tahun. Tapi dah totally stop until now. 

.

Adik tu umur 7 tahun







Lumbar punture

.

Mudah-mudahan adik tu berakhir baik. Last nampak dia . Tadi. Atas katil tolak untuk di bawa ke bilik khas, so that test di atas boleh di buat. *Hela nafas*

.

For treatment. Yang first, memang antibiotic jugak. Bacaan seterusnya. Boleh rujuk bahan bacaan ya. Vancomycin salah satu nya if ampicillin doesn't work. Based on organism pilih antibiotic ni. 

.

Moga datang kesembuhan buatmu dik! 

.

Esok exam for this posting! Mohon doanya rakan dan taulan :) Najwa sayang anda semua!

Hadis 11 (dari Hadis 40 Imam Nawawi)

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته Apa khabar? =).    Jom share ;) "Tinggalkan yang Meragukan"   Daripada Abu Muhammad al-Hassan bin Ali bin Abi Talib r.a, cucu kesayangan Rasulullah SAW berkata bahawa beliau menghafal salah satu daripada sabda Rasulullah SAW: Maksudnya: " Tinggalkanlah apa yang meragukanmu dan kerjakanlah apa yang tidak meragukanmu" (Riwayat al-Tirmizi no.2518, al-nasa'i no.5711,8/327-328,Ibn Hibban dan al-Hakim) Huraian dan inti dari hadis: Kalimah yang 'meragukan' bermaksud meninggalkan sesuatu yang menjadikan kamu ragu-ragu dan gantikanlah dengan perkara yang tidak meragukan. Hadis ini kembali kepada pengertian hadis ke enam,yaitu sabda Nabi SAW yang bermaksud, " Sesungguhnya yang halal itu jelas dan yang haram itu jelas,dan di antara kedua-duanya banyak perkara yang syubhah". Meninggalkan yang syubhah akan membawa seseorang muslim kepada sifat warak. Ia merupakan manfaat umum dalam usaha me

Apa itu HIV?

So that night. He 'actually' told me about "Rumah Pengasih" ? If I'm not mistaken. He told that, woman with unwanted pregnancy and had HIV stayed in that house. But, my point in this post is his question regarding HIV. "Jadi sebenarnya, apa yang menyebabkan HIV tu ya? Camana la mau ubat tu?" And that night. My typical 'student mind' with exam oriented krik3* moment medical student came out. I cursed my own self as I can only replied those questions in the most 'surface' way.   . So today, I decided, to 'kind of' pay it back . Boleh kan? Ngeh heh.  So, apa sebenarnya HIV tu ? HIV tu sebenarnya stand untuk "Human Immunodeficiency Virus". If kita ada virus ni dalam badan kita, dia boleh bagi kita satu penyakit akhirnya. Iaitu--> AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome).  Unlike other virus. Virus yang satu ni, macamana kau try buang pun, dia ndak akan pernah get rid of, kau kena tanggung sampai mati. Da

Stay Humble :)

The consultant. Yep, they are a consultant, a specialist or in other words, the Mr. Know it all for their specific field. What I want to share tonight, those Doctor I've seen, the more they know, the more humble they became in life. You can view it through their character,  in how they treat people, how they treat those who can do nothing for them :) Dr Cheah told us today. How after you delete your arrogance people will be kind to you. God also kind to you. After the patient died, you don't say,"You all should bring him/her early.If not, the patient can save!". You don't, he said. Don't be arrogant. Be humble and kind to the family member.In fact, both had done their best to save the patient.  In another story, he drove to the hospital above the speed limit. The police stopped him. But due to his reason, as he said he had an emergency case in the hospital with guilt face shown on her face, the policeman forgive him. See? He said :)  . Stay
