Doc Hollywood

Honestly,
i miss being a student.

but on the bright side, i love working! i don't have to fuss and go around the kampung searching for patients to tend the next day. Now, patients come to me. with all sorts of cases.

Some cases are very rare while some are common. 

TODAY

A baby boy came with his parents to the clinic. The parents claimed that their baby had a 'spring' hooked to the baby's gum. Upon examination, nothing was found in the oral cavity. My fingers were bitten several times by the baby and boy it hurts. We officers ordered a chest xray, and although we prayed so hard that the 'spring' didnt get swallowed by the boy, well, too bad the metal object is now in his body. 

During history taking, the parents told us what actually happened the previous 8 hours.

6 HOURS PRIOR

The parents rushed their baby to the Emergency at 2 am. 

At that moment, the 'spring' is hooked to the baby's upper left gum. The father had tried to unhook the thing but he wasn't really sure on how to do it, despite having his son crying his uvula out, he panicked so he went straight to the hospital. I am so disappointed knowing that the attendant/officer at the emergency ordered the parents to see us when the clinic opens at 8am in the morning. 

Even though its just a tiny winny case, the person in charged at the emergency should have called the dental officer on call if they are too shallow to handle it. 

now, the baby had swallowed the metal thing which obviously tends to hooked easily. 

TEPUK DADA, TANYA, sakit x??

p/s: i must have woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. Macam2 hal tak kena dengan aku harini. contact lense hilang sebelah, laptop tertinggal dalam kereta, nasi goreng tertinggal kat rumah, luxate gigi pelan2 pon crown boleh fracture, dll. tak best betolllll laaaaaaaaaa.

oh pastuuu,, tibe2 aku teringat cerita Michael J Fox, Doc Hollywood. ada budak kecik masukkan fire brigade ng fireman dalam hidung/telinga die. Hari pertama datang ada fire brigade dalam hidung/telinga die. hari berikutnya doc tu check ada fireman pulak. Rupenye budak tu nak selamatkan anjing/kucing yg turut berada dalam lubang hidung/telinga die. 

pandai jugak budak tu.

eh jap, betul ke tu cerita Doc Hollywood??????????
