2^nd of July

Feel nervous?

Yes, of course as me and my partner will perform it first....huhu

We try to do the best although we are not totally satisfied with our performance……

# VOICE #

~~Salam~~~

Lesson 3-5…

Today I learn that using ‘phrasal verb’ is better when speaking with patients as it tend to be informal and non-technical speech.

Beside that, I also learn and practise two ways for question tags – confirmation and question.

An important communication tip that I learn today is,

• Passive voice is more formal than the active voice and often used when professionals are speaking or writing.

• Active voice is more appropriate to use with patients, patient’s relatives and close colleagues.

Breaking Bad News........

Assalamualaikum…

UNIT 3 : BREAKING BAD NEWS…

“Can u describe the pain?”

This lesson teaches me that, a doctor must ask clearly to the patient about his pain before making any diagnosis about the disease….

Some features of pain that should be asked are:

• Location
• Triggering factors
• Duration
• Intensity and character
• Onset
• Timing
• Alleviating factors
• Aggravating factors
• Previous occurrence

“It’s how you say it”

A small change in a health care provider’s intonation can completely change a patient’s attitude and cooperation.

Basically that I learn is, as a doctor which involve with community, practising a supporting tone is important with the patient. They will be more comfortable with us and sometimes can be such a cure for them…..

# It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it #

Communication tip that I learn today is:

A new syndrome, known as the “door knob syndrome” commonly takes place after a doctor-patient interview when the patient reaches the office door and says to the doctor, “Oh doctor, there is something else”

The remedy is, the doctor should say “Is that everything?” at the end of the interview.

Basically, this is one of the important unit that I should learn…

As a doctor, I should know how the right and polite way to breaking a bad news to the patient…..because to accept fate that we are suffered a chronic disease is not easy…..

So that, the doctor should help the patient by motivate and support them to be brave and accept fate….

EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR THE GOOD……

'Nasi Lemak'

Salam~~

My lesson today,

We covered the lesson about discharge instruction guideline,
the questions that the doctor should ask to the patient’s family and
how to diagnosis a disease based on the severe allergic reaction to the seafood or the seafood was poisonous; either analphylactic shock or scombroid toxicity……

Then we learned about the symptoms and signs regarding our respiratory systems; asthma, cystic fibrosis, bronchiolitis, aspiration of foreign body and croup…

I enjoyed the class today because Miss Dila sponsored breakfast for us, 'nasi lemak'….so delicious, yummy….Thank you very much Miss!!!!
She also told us about her experience when she was involved in an accident, a tragic accident.....

Let me explain your diet

UNIT 2….

Hello everybody!!!

Firstly, sorry for posting in this blog late…last week I’m quite busy…..

I had learned about, let me explain your diet…..I learned about refine sugar in the diabetic diet. It is about the right number of calories in the patient’s diet and the diet should be well-balanced.

We practice a simple role play by partner about “two ways of regulating a diet” which are the substitution method and the plate method. These ways are suitable for a diabetic patient to apply.

A communication tip that we have learned today is:

“patients do not remember everything they are told. One way to help them remember is to repeat and summarize what you say at the end of the consultation. Another way is to have the patients themselves do this repetition and summary.”

Erm….today Miss Dila also stories to us about her “ex-boyfriend”….through her stories, I think that she has a high dream and clear visions about her life. Its make me think about myself too…huhu…I hope that Miss can get a right person for her and better that her “ex”…=)
