Official result was out today. Finally.
Alhamdulillah. There was no better word to it when my name was announced with the prefix 'Dr'. Friends who have always been around, Syafiqah, Jauhara and Aimi - you guys are wonderful! Congratulations!
Recalling the day of the exam, I was lucky to get straightforward cases:
- Long case - Placenta praevia type II anterior
The examiners for my long case were mostly externals: Dr. Azam (HTAA), Dr. Raymond (Dean of Medical Faculty of UKM), Mr. Azril (Ortho, UIA), and another young chap probably from USM. I presented the case to Dr. Azam, of course. So I sit obliquely from the table, eyes front towards him. From the corner of my eyes, I can see the others are nodding approvingly to my every reply to the questions. Halfway through our discussion, there was a sudden "che-chek". I quickly turned my head to the right and saw a blackberry phone directed to my face. What the.. I must have raised my eyebrows before Dr. Raymond giggled and said out loud, "Ah takde ape. Personal collection." And he continued smiling. The UKM dean took my picture. For his personal collection? Hmph. Men.
Short cases were just okay. Hehe.
- Right mastectomy (Post-radio hyperpigmented skin) + Axillary clearance scars. Currently presented with metastatic nodes TRO recurrent breast carcinoma. Discussion was on appropriate investigations.
- Tophaceous gout. Multiple lobulated masses (some are at the size of a golf ball! Gah!)on the small joints of both hands, elbows and feet. Discussed on investigations and complications. Basic stuff.
- Paeds case with sternotomy scar. Prosthetic click. Discussion towards chronic rheumatic heart disease
This will be all for now :) Much thanks to you good people who have been praying for my success fiddun-ya wal-akhirah.
This is just the beginning..
