Boy Or Girl?

Saw this blog this morning, 咖啡与我 wrote about antenatal ultrasound experience. =)
Ya, patients usually anxious to find out their babies' gender, BOY or GIRL ?

I have some funny experience to share too!

#1
A young couple asking to see baby's gender.
So, I scanned through that area but cant see very well cause baby's legs are tightly closed.
So, I told the parents, "your baby is too shy, not allow us to see the private part, we cant get to know the gender.. "
U know how the mummy replied?
She said, "Oh, maybe the baby is wearing undies now. OK, we'll wait next time when he/she doing laundry, we'll check again..."
The moment I heard this, I nearly LOL.... She's so funny, this is 1st time I hear such a joke !
I wanted to faint.. hhahhaha.....

#2
A couple, G6P4A1, wanna know the gender also.
Still the same, "The baby didn't wanna open the leg for us to see."
And I ask, "What do u have at home ?" , She said, "4 girls !"
Doink~... They must be expecting smtg different for this pregnancy...
So, I look closely again, hoping to show them smtg different. But, looks like a girl too this time, but since the legs are not opened wide enough, so I didnt show them, just told them we cant see today, it's a shy baby.... hahahha....

#3
Another mummy, G3P1A1, wanna find out the gender too...
So, this time we can see clearly there's a little penis hanging there... kekkeke....
Before I show her, I ask what's her previous child ? She said a boy, and she's hoping a girl.
So I show her, this time looks like a boy too....
She said, "Oh no, U serious? " I show her, let her see herself the balls and hotdog, not burger ... LOL... (sounds like a fast food restaurant huh? u want hot dog or hamburger?)
She ask, "Oh no, it's so obvious! can we chop it off ? can we?"
Doink~ again... I nearly LoL .... what a crazy patient....

Not all parents insist want to see the gender, some insist not to know, they wanna have a surprise during the delivery. Some, very indecisive, I got 1 couple thinking/considering (asking each other,, want or not, want or not? ) for more than 5 minutes b4 deciding for me to reveal the gender or not.. they wanted a surprise, but curious to know too... just cant decide... I really beh tahan ... wasting my time there...


In Obstetric scannings, the most important is to see the growth of the fetus, and look for any structural abnormalities, any early sign of complication of the pregnancy. Gender is always the secondary issue... Plus, we always remind the patient, even if we can see the gender, we never say it's 100% accurate we just say about 80-90%.... hahah.. just for legal issue. (In case they blame us one day for buying pink clothes for their boy baby or vv.) And, they normally understand..






BOY or GIRL ?


Pingu with funny patients

Addicted to ...

Recently I'm addicted to this Korean Series, Surgeon Bong Dal Hee... A medical series mimicking Grey's Anatomy. Learnt lot of medical terms in there. And enjoyed watching the spirit of Bong Dal Hee, a first year resident Dr who strives to become a surgeon despite her heart problem... Her determination, her passion in medicine, is so touching. A lot to learn from her. In this series, there are a lot of scenes that at nights, she keeps studying reference books to look for answers to all the problems she faced in day time.

"Let the lessons taught by our first patients be forever kept in our hearts"

"Patients are always our teachers"

Her first time is always difficult.

Difficult 1st love;

Difficult 1st patient;

Difficult 1st surgery.

But she never gave up, she kept learning and continue to strive forward!

I love her passion to her job.

Started to study bit by bit for my coming exam next year.

The more u study, the more u found out that u still got a lot to learn, to memorize.

Make me more nervous.

I should start to be MORE responsible to every of my patients,

I should start to fill up my brain with all the knowledge I should have as much as I can.

I should always conscious of what I am doing, and what I want.

I should build up my confidence in everything!

I should continue to strive forward no matter how depressing the situation is.

"Never disappointed on urself, take it as learning curve and move forward"

"You're ignorant but you're not a coward! Get a hold of urself, You can do it! Keep it in mind!" one of the supervisor surgeon shout at her when she was operating on a patient's lung.

See, a lot to learn from this series.. good one !

Fear gives way to hope

(Taking deep breath in ... heart rate shooting up... should start working hard for all the "I SHOULD" listed above)

再多三个月

再多三个月！
三个月后的这个时候，我就在家里，我的家乡与家人，朋友共聚，吃着想念了好久好久的美食。
YEAH ！！

好想念安顺猪肠粉！
点心，肉骨茶，还有妈妈的温暖牌!

突然，好想家。。。
I wanna go home !

好想做完这几年合约，储蓄够一年的生活费就回家，不做工一年。。。
在家过自己想过的生活，无忧无虑的生活，与世无争的生活。 =）
可以吗？ =）


Pingu 's thinking...

Sharing

A poem for sisters,



If sisters were flowers, I'd still pick you.
I'd let the sun shine so you'd never be blue.
I'd show the world how beautifully you grew,
with bright bold colors and strength through and through.


Found this from somewhere...
Meaningful! dedicate it to my 2 sisters and my dear girlfriends.
I'm glad you are my sisters, and I'm always proud of you. =)

Another quote I got when watching a weird Korean movie recently,

"It's hard to tell the world we live in is a reality or a dream"

Ya, sometimes I really think of it ... Is it real or just a dream ?
A long long dream, well organised, like a movie...
Could it be when I wake up from this dream,
I'm actually an old lady dying on bed at 70's ?
or I'm actually a young girl who has been coma on bed for so long?
or ............. I dun really exist ?
Or, I'm just crazy thinking too much ... let my mind fly so far, so lost...
COME BACK !! BACK to REALITY... LOL



Watever it is ... Live your life to the fullest...
"Live well... Love much... Laugh often..."


Life is a journey, it's all up to u to direct your own life...



Pingu is wondering

Chalazion Attack !!

Again, a problem that keep annoying me almost once a year since 12 years old...

Chalazion! Yes, itis attacking me again!

It's not a normal sty that develope at your eyelid externally..

But, internally! and will become very chronic, stay there for few weeks, keep growing, giving u swollen, sore, red eyelid,

From internet sources:

A chalazion (stye) is a small lump in the eyelid caused by obstruction of an oil producing or meibomian gland. Chalazia may occur in the upper or lower lids, causing redness, swelling and soreness in some cases.
Signs and Symptoms
a)Raised, swollen bump on the upper or lower eye lid
b)Often red
c)May be tender and sore

Haiz...

It's so sore...

All because of my Sambal fried rice last week. JM made a bottle of Msian Sambal and put in fridge, so I took 2 spoons to add in my fried rice.. It was really spicy and yummy... then the next day, problem started ! Started with sore eyelid, and I knew it must be chalazion coming to visit me again ! After few years of "quiet" period... Again, it "check in" at same eye, same spot, just didnt tell me the "check out" day yet..

It's been a week already, everyday asked by colleagues how's your eye today ? Haiz... still enlarging... Hahah, hopefully didnt scared away my patients, (ya, oltho my eyelid like this, my vision is still OK, dun worry).. Yesterday my colleagues couldn't tahan anymore, grabbed me and wanna scan my eye to see wat is in there... and this is the image she got.. full of abcess, pus, measured 17mm x 8mm.

still waiting for it to turn yellow so I can squeeze out the pus...
