How Graduation Ceremony in Czech Looks Like?
September 13, 2017
Today marks exactly 2 months since my graduation day - the time I became an alumni of Charles University in Prague.
Mixed feeling, it is normal right?
13th July 2017
Karolinum, Prague, Czech
 |
| The Asians. |
Well, graduation ceremony in Czech is not the same as in our country. There, it is only a small occasion - but it feels so meaningful after years of hard works, prayers, laugh and tears.
For my batch, the were about 44 graduates. And we were divided into two groups - 12pm and 1.30pm. So, you can see that one specific ceremony only take 1 hour +-. There was less protocol compared to Malaysia.. maybe. I can't recall the last time I joined a convocation here.
 |
| In front of Karolinum. |
So far that I know, Karolinum (or the site where Karolinum is located today) was actually a residence and later became lecture rooms etc for Charles University. It is now known as National Cultural Monument in Czech Republic. So, if you guys have the chance to visit Prague, you can put this building in your plan. :)
Charles University (English)
Univerzita Karlova (Czech)
Universitas Carolina (Latin)
 |
| The hall. Behind us is where the rector, dean, senate members will sit. The graduates will stand in the middle of the hall, with parents and family members on both sides. That statue is King Charles. |
 |
| The Senates. |
We didn't really have proper rehearsal. Every graduate was given a briefing just few minutes before we enter the hall. Haha. And graduates don't wear graduation robes as they are only for the Senates. But, we rented the robes later, for the sake of memories :)
The flow of graduation ceremony was roughly like this:1. All guests took their seats.
2. Rector, dean, senate members entered the hall, followed by graduates.
3. Introductory speech by the dean.
4. The Oath.
5. The scroll.
6. Speech by Valedictorian.
7. Shake hands with the senate members.
That's it :D
 |
| The graduates. |
Usually, the graduates will be standing according to alphabetical order. And through out 6 years, I was always the first person to be called for anything T_T. I thought I would be standing the most front that time. Haha.
But the tall guy, Matt in front of me was the best student - he received the red scroll! I mentioned him once in this blog - my first official run in Czech. Czech has different grading than Malaysia - if students in Malaysia aimed for the highest 4.0, here in Czech the highest grade is 1.0.
So, red scroll means, his average results can be around 1.0 (or I can say four flat / close to four flat in Malaysia).
 |
| I am not sure her position - but she was kind of the emcee. |
 |
| Refer here for Hippocratic Oath. |
The oath was delivered in Latin by our Promoter (the one who will give away the scroll). And the graduates will answer the Promoter with Spondeo Ac Polliceor which means I Promise & Swear.
 |
| See the guy in red robe. We need to put our fingers to the stuff he hold while saying Spondeo Ac Polliceor to the Promoter. |
 |
| The Promoter. There were official photographs during the ceremony but I am too lazy to buy T_T |
 |
| Our Valedictorian. Viktoria used to be our group leader since the first year. |
 |
| Shake hands session with the Senates. |
 |
| With our family members. |
 |
| This is how the scroll looks like - it is in Latin and we need to officially translate it to English first before it can be used in Malaysia. |
 |
| The Malaysians :) |
Alhamdulillah.
Alhamdulillah.
Alhamdulillah.
Thanks for the prayers, guys.
Keep on praying for our journey as your future doctors :)

[PHOTOS] Grad's Night | Class of 2017
July 3, 2017
I feel like writing tonight, maybe instead of sharing about Eid, I should get done with any drafts first. :)
29th April 2017
A day after surgery STEX (the exam for final year), we had Grad's Night. As usual and I think, by tradition, Grad's Night would be handled by 4th year students with the help from the university in terms of money for the venue. Another sources of money would be from sponsors and fundraising. My friends and I did that when we were in 4th year ourselves. It was a very nice experience, to organise an event for people with totally different backgrounds and cultures.
 |
| Malaysians - Final Year. |
 |
| Simon - Alicia - Wiebke - Adilah - Maryam - Punnam - Jawahir - Vidhya - Raja - Hanis - Warda - Ishleen |
 |
| Selfie. |
 |
| Sennye, me, Gloria | Jawahir, Luke, Simon, me | Mpho, Simon, Luke, Idris, Faizal, Jawahir, me | Heidi, me, Viktoria |
Well, the tentative was maybe similar to other dinner's event. :) But this time was a bit emotional as we were the one being celebrated.
The menu was okay, we had choices of either chicken (halal oh yeah), salmon or veggie salad - that is for the main course. There were 3 desserts as well, yummy!
This was the video made by our junior for that night. Haha I must say for people who are not directly related to this, I don't think people may have the similar feeling as we were when watching this video :) It was happy and sad at the same time.
Let's enjoy some photos from the official photographer :)
See you guys on our graduation day in Karolinum of Charles University in Prague. :)

Wrap Up of HUSM's Memories
December 27, 2016
Kota Bharu is kinda significant to me. I've spent 2 weeks there in 2014 and this year, another 4 weeks. Not really 4 weeks haha as I went home almost every weekends. Another fact that makes Kota Bharu special is, my experience with domestic flights were all between Kota Bharu - KL (Subang, KLIA, KLIA 2) either with Firefly, Air Asia, MAS. :D
It has been almost 5 days I left HUSM, it feels a bit different when I don't have to get prepared early in the morning to catch the ward round, I don't have to walk from the hostel to the ward, I don't have to struggle to get online. But, I miss the environment especially the students there - they are way younger than me T_T but never mind, I love juniors.
I would love to express my gratitude to everyone I met there; the students, the doctors, the nurses and the workers. Without them I bet my life in HUSM would be dull and lonely. Hoho.
I spent most of my days with my lovely junior, Ika. It's been a while since we last met, but I am glad she is still the same Ika I used to know :) A stronger one. I enjoyed most food-hunting in Kota Bharu with her. We rented a car to get to KB Mall, AEON Mall or simply walk around shops in front of HUSM.
At the wards, I was closer to 3rd year students. Ana, Sameera, Faiqah, Rafidah, Rubiah, Shamim, Shafika, Tasha, Zhi Yee, Hafiz etc. Gosh, these bunch of lovely juniors were so welcoming. My days in the wards were never bored with them. They were new to clinical phase so it was easier to join them with all introduction to short and long cases - just to get rough ideas how presenting cases in Malaysia looks like. I joined final year classes occasionally for more detailed-presentations.
Towards the end of my elective like another one week and half, I met another 2 electives students from PMC - Ain, Adnin. The three of us were free to manage our own schedules, and actually electives are more about our own desires to learn. If we want to learn more, we can join more practical sessions, join the doctors for ward rounds or oncalls, join the HOs to do procedures. Our own initiatives.
Dr. Afaf, Dr. Afiq, Dr. Nahily, Dr. Preet, Dr. Tiqah, Dr. Adib, Dr. Wafy, Dr. Amry. I am totally glad that most HOs are about my age, it was a bit awkward to think how to call them but seriously most of them are so friendly than I can call them with just names. During on-calls, I can listen to their experiences while taking blood. When there's no new admission, I joined them for late supper.
MOs and registrars are helpful as well :D
I met them almost every weekdays for ward rounds. Even though they will not recognize me but I am so thankful to have chance to learn at least something from them - especially about all those mobile apps used to make life in the ward easier. Believe me, doctors cannot remember everything. Why not we just use those mobile apps?
Dr. Abu Dzarr - my supervisor. He works in Hematology (a part of Medical). I didn't meet him frequently as I usually spend more time in general Medical ward - more diagnosis and patients clerking to learn etc. But, I would love to thank him to keep responding to my daily reports.
Rasya, Kina, Hana. Thank you girls for allowing me to stay over your room for few days while waiting for my own room.
And special thanks to my high school ex-deskmate, Dr. Amyny. :D Thank you for spending your off day with me. So many things to catch up and it was really fun to listen to your experiences.
-----------------
At the beginning of the elective, I listed down my targets throughout those 4 weeks. Alhamdulillah, after checking back, I managed to expose myself to each of them.
- To expose myself with working environment in Malaysia as I plan to work in Malaysia after completing my study (HO tasks, oncall, ward round etc)
- To gain more experience with blood taking as this task is more likely to be done by nurses in Czech.
- To familiarize myself with common diseases in Malaysia and how to approach these patients, especially dengue, leptospirosis, melioidosis etc.
- To do history taking with Malaysian style - for this one, I have approach few USM medical students to help with the guidelines.
- To join classes for USM students for short and long cases.
Some techniques and approaches are different and I can say students here learn very detailed practicals.
Okay, freshly graduated doctors will start their work as housemen, well we need to admit the word 'fresh' as less working experience. Housemen are more known as HO (house officers) or interns. From what I know, during 2 years of housemen-ship, HOs need to fulfill 5 postings (4 months each).
- Obstetrics and Gynecology
- Pediatrics
- Medical
- Orthopedics
- Surgery
My 4 weeks in HUSM was only for medical posting. In this department, I met patients with diseases of heart, lungs, kidney, digestive system, blood. Basically, almost every major organs in our body. Even neurology patients (saraf) can be in this department as well. In this ward, you can expect the most sudden deaths T_T when everyone need to struggle to give CPR to the dying patients.
Most patients are elderly but younger one is frequent as well. T_T I learned that before I approach a patient, I really need to check his / her age. Kadang-kadang perasan muda padahal patients umur sebaya or lebih muda. I still remember a doctor (age around 40+) called a 50 year-old patient as pakcik. Haha, formality maybe.
Going back to Czech soon. :)
My Random Experiences with Blood
December 8, 2016
School History With Blood.
1. I think most girls have experiences with blood when we encountered our first period. So do I. But, I am not going to talk much about menstruation here. Haha.
2. At first, I never thought to be in my position today, hmm I mean, on my way to be your doctor. I thought I will not have good time with blood. Well, some people can't see blood otherwise they may collapse. Surprisingly, that's not the case for me. So far, alhamdulillah.
3. I started playing with blood during high school for biology class. If I'm not mistaken, my classmates and I were instructed to perform some experiments with blood. Few of my friends fainted. Although I didn't fancy Science or Biology much before, experiments were what I was looking forward to.
4. No, I didn't have experience with any frogs, mice for experiments. I feel more comfortable to cut human beings compared to all those animals. And I tried slaughtering before, but nope nope I just can't.
* do you know that mice is a plural form of mouse?
No Meat For Me, Before.
5. I stopped eating meat since primary school when I witnessed cow slaughtering for my aunt's wedding's food preparation. But, I return as meat lover when I was in first year in Czech. Wanna know the reason why?
Learning How to do Blood Taking.
6. The smell of blood is irritating some time. With a good face mask, I am doing good insyaAllah.
7. I learned more about taking blood during my second year. I had Physiology classes and during Hematology lessons we need to use our own blood for all those experiments - erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), full blood count (FBC) yada yada. Hehe, I am not sure if you understand these but if you are interested to know more, I would love to explain.
* hematology = hemato- (blood), -logy (study of)
* ESR = how long the red blood cells take to sediment in one hour (to measure inflammation)
* FBC = to know amount of blood contents
 |
| Example of blood results. |
8. In Czech, venipunctures are tasks for nurses. Venipuncture simply means to puncture a vein to withdraw blood or insert drugs/fluid into the veins. Some patients there allow students to do venipuncture, but usually we do it among each others. :)
Blood and Surgery.
9. The most bloody surgery I've observed was the one involving bone marrow. I don't remember which procedure it was. But, just for our general knowledge, surgeons will cut open our body with the help of electrosurgery, this equipment actually looks like a pen but with ability to cut, coagulation our tissues. So, you may expect clean floor of operation room / theater in most cases :)
In some operation, you just can't avoid blood everywhere.
 |
| Like a pencil. |
10. Blood, for me is like our identity. Blood can be used to trace lost family members and even for police investigations. In health sector, so many things you can discover in the blood. From red blood cell, you may know if you are anemic. From white blood cells, you may confirm any infections that cause you to be febrile (fever). You can check why you may have high tendency to bleed from the platelets.
11. You may suspect something wrong with your organs as well from the blood - heart, liver, kidney etc. There are markers for them.
Blood Donation.
12. Please donate your blood if you are eligible. Your blood cells will be fully replaced in a very short time, at least 8-12 weeks. But, no worries, most of your donated blood is plasma (fluid) which will recover within 24 hours, faster if you maintain your hydration - drink a lot before and after donation.
13. Malaysians living overseas for certain countries within certain period of time are not allowed to donate blood. Yes, that's me. It is so frustrating to know. Refer HERE for the criteria to be a donor.
Blood Taking in Hospital.
14. I feel guilty to ask patients "May I withdraw your blood?" in the middle of the night. But, that's doctors' job to keep track the progression of patients by checking blood regularly.
15. It is easier to find good veins on male patients, just they complained about the pain more compared to female patients.
16. It's hard to withdraw blood for patients with kidney disease and after chemotherapy, especially old patients - tiny veins. Not to forget, patients with peripheral edema - swollen limbs, so hard to find good veins.
17. You are in trouble if you prick yourself with a needle used for other person, even though he / she may not have any general disease . Who knows they may have one - the not-yet-manifested?
p/s - I am going home tonight for few days break. :D Pray for my 6 hours bus journey crossing Banjaran Titiwangsa :D

What Are Your Study Habits?
December 6, 2016
I just returned to my room after few hours ward round + meeting patients + reading files + long case class with final year students here. I'm done for today. Oh, maybe I would consider to join the on call students tonight, let's see. :)
Hmm, I am not sure how to describe what am I doing right now. For me, this is my practical lesson, but people may think that I'm doing practical after finishing my studies. No, I haven't finished my undergraduate yet, let alone graduation (insyAllah soon next year). Then, when I said I'm doing elective (which is usually done during holidays), people here keep saying why are you so hardworking to spend your holidays in the hospital?
Adoi. Haha, saya taklah rajin sangat camtu.
I was a very, very, very hardworking student when I was in school. But, I don't think so, now. After realizing so many things I haven't explore yet, I still put my study as top priority but I will never abandon my time for other stuffs. Travel, hiking, eating, yada yada.
Okay! Let's proceed.
*************
#1 What time you start studying and how long?
Depends. I am a morning person, I go to sleep around 10-12 am and wake up at 5-6 am. So, I prefer daytime to study. I kinda having love hate relationship with winter, one of the reason is because of this.
#2 Do you stay up all nights for study?
Sometimes. When I need to push myself more. But, I don't like it, as I will be exhausted the next morning.
#3 Any favorite place or port while you study?
On the bed, but with table. Hmm I mean, I put a small table on the bed. Otherwise, I will go to the library or any cafes.
#4 Do you listen to music or not?
Yep, instrumental musics.
Masa study, study betul betul.
Masa main, main betul betul.
Masa cuti, cuti betul betul.
#5 Do you start from front page or back page of book?
Jumble up a lot. Medicine for me is not about reading lines by lines but to suddenly turn to another page related to what I am reading to understand more. I use the back page (index) as page references.
#6 Do you study all of section or just the important section?
Used to read all sections when I was in lower year. But now, nope.
#7 Do you highlight your textbooks?
I love colorful notes. T__T But then, I will get confused which one is important and which one is not.
#8 Prefer studying with a book or you like making small notes which can be carried everywhere?
I usually first study with books / Google / Medscape / WebMD / lecture notes / Merck Manual. Then, I try to come out with mind maps. But, now it's really hard to carry papers everywhere, so offline short notes will be nicer.
#9 Will you memorize all chapters or not?
I've passed my age to memorize things. Now, it's more about how to relate the facts. What should I do with this patient and why? Why I need to do this and not that? Why this drug and not the other one? It was really hard for me as I used to memorize a lot but it's getting easier with time, practice and exposure.
I am still learning and on my way there.
#10 What method you have for a smart study?
Mind maps and a good small study group. I agree with most doctors here when they said explaining to other people is more effective than to study on my own.
#11 How you got your motivation to study?
My parents who are getting older but they are still enthusiastic to teach their students.
#12 Do you decorate your study table? If do, how?
Not much. I don't even use my study table most of the time.
#13 What most important things you must have on it?
For me, on bed I guess?
- Study lamp
- Laptop (for easy reference)
- Notes
- Stationery

Obviously, different people have different ways to study.
You can simply say your way is the best one and others should use that particular style. But it might be only working for you, but not others. Some people can study with vocal musics, some simply get irritated with a sound of dropped pen. Some may remember more with pictures, some prefer words and some may need only YouTube to study.
What can I say is, if you are a student, find the best way for you. You can try this study habits quiz to know more about yourself.
Life is all about try and error. :)
Pray for me, haha I need to study now.

Think Before You Ink: Tattoo and Us
November 22, 2016
I'm sure most of us know what is tattoo. Or at least, know how tattoo looks like. It maybe not common in our society (at least people around me) as it is not allowed in Islam (Sunni). But, I do believe the number keeps increasing nowadays.
Maybe due to factors people want to look cool in front of others or they want some significant identity on their skin. Some may find it difficult to cope with life after few stress-triggering incidents - so, they seek something like the pain that can make them ignore their problem.
What is tattoo actually?
It is said to be an art, the proper one will be made by professionals. Kinda pricey, depends on the styles and professional skills. In this blog post, I am not talking about tattoo stickers, yea. What I want to say that, the real tattoo is about permanent markings on the skin - made using needles and ink.
How tattoo is being done?
By inserting ink to a skin layer - dermis.
Fast forward the video to 3:15
Fast forward the video to 3:15
My experience with tattoo.
No, I don't have tattoo on my body. It looks totally painful, even for me to see.
I met a patient few days ago with tattoos all over his body. Even though patient like this may come with problems other than skin problems like muscle pain, chronic stomach ache, long term diarrhea, chest pain....etc, I've been told that medics need to ask more information regarding the tattoos as well. For example, when did the patient get it, what was the reason, where did he/she go to get the tattoo.
Why?
Skin with tattoo can be a site for infection. And the instruments used to make tattoo as well. Here, people are free to have tattoo (even though some people may find it worrisome to watch the person with tattoos). Just, they are highly recommended to go to the best professional who provide this service. Make sure all needles used are sterile, and the ink does not have side effects to the skin.
Why you need to think twice (or even thousand times) before getting a tattoo?
1. For Muslim Sunni, it is prohibited.
**sorry, I don't have the English version of these.
**sorry, I don't have the English version of these.
- At-Tabrani menyatakan yang bermaksud, "Rasulullah SAW melaknat perempuan yang mentatu dan minta ditatu, serta yang mengikir gigi dan yang minta dikikir giginya" - reference Fiqh Medik by Dr. Zaharuddin Abd Rahman
If we refer to Mufti Pahang's website, we can find another hadith that is against tattoo.
- "Daripada Ibnu Umar R.Anhuma, sesungguhnya Rasulullah S.A.W bersabda “ Allah melaknat perempuan yang menyambung rambut dan minta disambungkan rambutnya, perempuan yang membuat tatu dan yang meminta dibuat tatu.” (Riwayat al-Bukhari)
2. It is painful.
Maybe painless for some people, but I met so many people who are scared to needles. The main reason is the pain. So, why people need to choose to be in pain?
3. Risk of infection.
The ink used in tattoo usually is certified, but it is the problem with the conditions when the tattoo is being done.
- "When you are injecting a substance into the skin, you risk infection," - WebMD
The effects could be hepatitis (inflammation of liver - most common), Staphylococcus infection or warts. When the skin is punctured, it leads to bleeding - so, more blood-borne infections.
4. Tattoo removal process is crazy.
Can tattoo be removed?
Well, I already answer this question in just few lines above.
Yes, it can be removed, but the procedure is very expensive, time-consuming, painful. There is a blog post on how tattoo is removed by Dr. Azwan, maybe you can check it out for more details. I can conclude this person may need to undergo surgery or laser treatment.
In this video, you will understand why tattoo is permanent but eventually fade away a little.

p/s - this post is not to encourage you to get tattoos okay? I just wanna share general ideas what tattoos are all about. And for medics like me, this is important as well at least to know something.

Self Diagnosis and It Turned Out Right
September 16, 2016
Self-diagnose can be an illness and it can lead to hypochondria (worry about having a serious illness).
Actually, if you asked any medical students including me, we tend to be like this every single time we learn something new. Every common symptoms might be a clue to cancer. Every heart palpitation (due to exam stress etc) might be heart problems.
 |
| Hmmm. |
And I just self-diagnosed myself 2 days ago. Unfortunately, it turned out to be real. Ouch.
Entahlah nak rasa gembira sebab berjaya diagnose based on symptoms...
... ataupun rasa nervous sebab diagnosis tu betul.
... ataupun rasa nervous sebab diagnosis tu betul.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
This is not a life-threatening condition, alhamdulillah. But, it affects my daily life since the symptoms appear. T_T
Or in English, here.
My symptoms?
I felt that my left hand to be a bit numb (kebas) on Wednesday afternoon. Oh, I just thought I slept in a wrong position. But, the tingling sensation does not go away since then. Dalam Melayu, orang panggil kesemutan / semut-semut haha how to describe this lah?
 |
| GP room. |
I don't want to wait any longer, I decided to meet the general practitioner (GP). GP is like a first-line doctor if you want to get treatment. In Czech, everybody is assigned to their own GP and it will be for life-time unless you want to change it due to many factors (if you move to another city, if you are not satisfied with the GP etc). So, basically international students have our own GP, provided by the hospital university.
 |
| Neurology Clinic. |
After explaining my condition and few physical examinations, the GP wrote a reference letter. I was referred to Neurology Department for further check-up. The doctor in charged for Neurology Out-patient was my Anatomy teacher, so alhamdulillah I can expect English conversations. The GP speaks English as well, no worries :)
A thing that was similar when I did the physical examination was, both doctors asked me 'So, what do you think it is?', 'Do you know what is the diagnosis?'
Hoho.
Of course I have a diagnosis in my mind.
And from the physical examinations, the diagnosis turned out to be real.
How is carpal tunnel syndrome diagnosed?
Basically, there are at least two physical exams that can show positive signs.
| Credit - Google |
Tinel's sign - the doctor will tap on the wrist and it can cause tingling and numbness on the hand spreading to the fingers (except the 5th finger).
| Credit - Google |
Phalen's sign - just do the position of hand like in the picture above for 60 seconds. You will feel tingling and numbness as well.
In my case, I have constant tingling and numbness. But, the numbness and tingling sensation worsened with these tests. T_T
 |
| Flector (NSAID), triamcinolon (CS), Milgamma (Vit. B), Aescin (anti-inflammatory as well) |
Medications bought. Now, waiting for next check-up - electromyogram (EMG), to see if the muscles are affected or not. Pray hard it will not be that serious :)
Pray for my exam in 10 days as well :) heee.

4 Kesan Ion Negatif dalam Hidup Kita
April 26, 2016
Dalam kelas hari ni cikgu ada sebut term "air washing machine". Tak pasti wujud ke tak sebenarnya term ni, sebab tak jumpa dalam Google. Mungkin term ni direct translation dari bahasa Czech, I'm not sure. :D
"Air washing machine" ni ialah mesin yang menggabungkan humidifiers & ion generators.
Humidifiers ni rasanya ramai antara kita yang tahu kan? Rata-rata bangunan perlu ada humidifier - untuk lembabkan udara yang kering. Pernah dengar humidity kan?
Humidity - kuantiti wap air di udara (kelembapan)
Udara kering ni tak bagus untuk kita, udara yang lembab sangat pun tak elok jugak. Kena bersederhanalah, ambil tengah-tengah. :D
Low humidity boleh buat kulit kering, gatal hidung, gatal tekak, gatal mata. High humidity pulak akan tolong pembiakan kuman-kuman semua tu.
-------------
Ion generators / ionizers ni pulak... hmmm sesuatu yang baru jugak untuk saya. Fungsi dia untuk produce banyak negative ions. Banyak faedah rupanya negative ions ni, walaupun ions ni sesuatu yang kita tak nampak, takde rupa, takde rasa semualah.
Pernah tak rasa tenang sangat bila kita pergi hiking, lepak kat hutan mana-mana, picnic tepi sungai air terjun pantai semua tu? Perasan tak rasa tenang je lepas hujan lebat, siap kilat guruh petir semua tu?
Tempat / situasi macam ni lah ada banyak negative ions! :D Teruja tak teruja tak? Haha. Entahlah saya excited bila tahu fakta ni.
Bila bandingkan dengan tempat yang kita tinggal, memang kurang negative ions - bandar, penggunaan air-cond, barang-barang elektronik. Sebabnya, benda-benda ni lebih banyak hasilkan positive ions.
Macam mana full mechanism negative ions ni pengaruh hidup kita tak dapat dipastikan lagi. Tapi, apa yang saya nak kongsikan ni, lebih kepada kajian lapangan, eksperimen, hipotesis etc.
1. Ion negatif mencerdaskan otak.
Menurut kajian, ion negatif ni akan banyakkan aliran oksigen ke otak, jadinya kita takde lah lemau je tak fokus semua tu.
Pierce J. Howard PhD at the Center for Applied Cognitive Sciences says in the Owners Manual for the Brain – “Negative ions increase the flow of oxygen to the brain; resulting in higher alertness, decreased drowsiness, and more mental energy.”
2. Ion negatif membersihkan udara.
Dikatakan kuman, virus, bakteria semua ni banyak ion positif. Jadinya ion negatif ni akan neutralkan udara tu :) Caranya, ion negatif akan gabung dengan ion positif yang ada pada virus, bakteria tu - pastu diorang jadi berat - pastu takde lah cepat tersebar kat ruang udara.
Tapi diorang still ada taw dalam environment tu - dan kat sini kita perlukan purifier - penapis udara.
 |
| Missing the forest T_T |
3. Ion negatif buat kita lebih happy.
Tahu kan, hormon serotonin yang pengaruhi mood seseorang. Kalau pernah baca pasal depression, orang yang tertekan ni boleh jadi stress yang kacau hormone balance dia. Kadang-kadang tempat hasilkan hormone serotonin tu sendiri tak berfungsi dengan baik.
Kat sini, ion negatif boleh normalkan level serotonin.
 |
| Kantoi kejap tadi dalam kelas pasal flowchart ni. Lol. |
4. Ion negatif membuatkan tidur lebih berkualiti.
Eloknya serotonin level dalam badan seseorang, bermakna elok jugak lah melatonin level. Hormone melatonin ni penting untuk tidur kita. Kat sini pentingnya tidur awal & tidur dalam keadaan gelap.
Oh, dari flowchart yang kat atas ni, penting jugak nak share pasal tryptophan. Tryptophan ni essential amino acids. Essential ni maksudnya kita memang kena dapatkan dari makanan, badan kita tak boleh buat sendiri. Banyak ada kat makanan berprotein - senang cakap produk tenusu takpun daging etc.
Kalau tak cukup tryptophan, boleh kacau hormones tu jugak. So, makan jaga ye. :)
------------------------------------
Rasanya banyak lagi faedah ion negatif ni, boleh Google takpun kalau rajin boleh tengok links yang saya refer ni ea.
Untuk yang berkemampuan, boleh usha-usha kedai yang jugak negative ionizers ni :) Mesti best kan, kalau perasaan yang kita rasa masa ada kat gunung, air terjun tu semua sentiasa ada walaupun kita kat rumah atau tempat kerja. :)

Sebiru Hari Ini, Post O&G ;)
December 14, 2015
Live dari library. Ye, kena study, Khamis ni ada satu lagi exam final. Cuma kat sini takde study week semua tu, kelas macam biasa, final exam pun ada jugak. Kena pandai2 susun masa nak fokus masa kelas, nak ponteng mana-mana kelas etc. Opsss.
Final exam kat sini pelik sikit sistem dia. Haha, nanti nanti lah cerita part tu.
Sekarang ni tengah rotation O&G, yang department ni saya dah lama tak sabar nak masuk dari 1st year. Dan sampai jugak akhirnya :) Nampak susah, tapi I feel glad meeting all these women. Dari teenagers yg ada masalah menstruation, teenagers yang pregnant, makcik-makcik yang ada masalah dalam sistem genital dia, mak-mak bersalin, team neonatal :D Happy. Setakat ni lah ^_^
Hari ni ikut doktor yang jaga outpatient, so jumpa lah dalam 7 patients yang ada pelbagai sebab untuk datang hospital. Dan 7 kali jugak lah, tengok doktor buat transvaginal ultrasound. Awkward jugak pada awalnya sebab patients sini memang 'open'. Seriously 'open'. Lain adat, lain budaya, lain agama - itu faktor utama kot. Cuma advantage kat students sebab takde restriction sangat untuk examine patients. Biasanya patients akan okay je lah untuk kita examine from top to bottom :)
Bila buat transvaginal ultrasound ni, biasanya aim untuk tengok part2 sekitar vagina ni. Uterus (rahim), ovari, cervix, bladder, rectum etc. Boleh guna untuk tengok berapa umur kandungan untuk 1st trimester. Boleh guna untuk tengok ada apa2 ketulan / ketumbuhan kat rahim.
The best moment, bila tengok baby 11 minggu bergerak2, dan memang terpancar la muka excited mak ayah tu bila doktor bagitahu saiz baby sekian-sekian, ni kepala, kaki, tangan etc. Saya ni pun happy sangat tengok baby dalam skrin mesin ultrasound tu, apatah lagi mak ayahnya kan :D
The baby is so small dalam 3.2cm camtu (CRL - crown-rump length = ukuran dari kepala ke punggung). Grow well, baby. :) The mother lahir 1993 kot, terus rasa tua T_____T

Sampai sekarang, masih terbayang-bayang baby tu bergerak2. :D Comel! Walaupun takde rupa lagi, tapi still comel lah :D
It makes my day happier. Dan habis kelas, terus cycling ke library. Dan sepanjang perjalanan tu, rasa nak senyum je dan entah kenapa ramai betul yang senyum balik. Bila ucap dobry den (good day) dapat balasan, lagi rasa nak senyum.
Anyway, doakan ye saya & kawan-kawan nak exam ni ea.
Take care, semua.
