Just had chemical defence course back at Nee Soon today..Haha we navy personnel were really balonglong.. whole group go for break but returned 10 mins late... den water parade when the rest were using that green ugly bottle we were taking out our civilian fanciful bottles..haha quite a funny sight. Basically the whole course was kinda slack.. they gave us super long canteen and lunch breaks till it becomes very sian haha. the only irritating part was just doning of the freaking thick and uncomfortable suit. And tmr should be a half day..yeah..

Just to share sth.. My friend working in the chamber was telling us that day that was this guy who came in with DCI(decompression illness) - a condition where air bubbles, mainly nitrogen gets trapped in a particular part of a body due to rapid ascent during diving.. ( a result of surounding pressure decreasing too quickly). In this case the DCI occured at his balls(ya u din get me wrong, testicles). So his testicles became twice its normal size. But then, Dr Lee heard it wrongly, he thot it was his penis that became twice its normal size.. so he exclaimed," why is the patient still complaining?? shouldn't he be happy about it?" hahaha

Just had chicken rice from the Wei Nan Ji Stall at Novena.. Yum.. Have to say its quite nice.. recommend u guys to try it. =P

Sianz i just lost like near 35 bucks over mahjong this weekend. Sighz. Utterly disgusted. Had breakfast at delifrance this morning.. obviously it had to be kenvin's treat! with me contributing roughly 50% of his earnings... I will have my revenge next time!! LOLx

Met up with william and a handful of jc classmates on fri night.. Was chilling and crapping around while munching sushi at the suki sushi rest in cini. Well william is flying off this coming sat to US naval academy for 4 years.. All the best dude! Thanks for the movie treat too! hMm monster-in-law was an unexpectedly hilarious and entertaining show.. haha.. probably because i was prejudiced towards J -Lo. HA.

Sheesh... weekends seems to fly past like a bullet all the time.. sian its monday again tmr! Arghz

Been MIA for some time.. hmm let me recall what had happened... okie think i went sailing for a week which i kinda enjoyed though I complained initially. HAha. Was practically like doing nothing everyday onboard thanks to wonderful Dr Mathew who believes in doing everything himself. never seen any other MO like him before. A real nice guy. And can u imagine he's presently studying diploma in law at the meantime while serving his NS.. and he's aim is obviously a double degree.. Law + Medicine??!!? Can you imagine how powerful will that be?

He was telling me about the mistakes that doctors make in hospitals and i vaguely remembered there was this case where there's this patient who came in for some minor surgery. Prior to most surgery, patient has to fast for a certain period of time before entering the OT.. so this guy fasted and everything seemed perfectly normal to the doctors until just before the sugery, they found his vital signs deteriorating and slipped into coma.. so they panicked and scrambled to find out what's wrong wih him, and to their horror, his hypocount was 0.8 (hypocount refs to blood glucose level, and for normal ppl is 4.0 and above, so 0.8 is really very low...). They tried to revive him but it was just too late.. Apparently his hypocount was falling steadily all the while(probably a diabetic pat) just that nobody monitored and bothered to check his condition. Everyone assumed it's just another normal case and hence leading to their negligence. Sighz. though doctors are human after all, and have the right to make mistakes, but when such mistakes occur, who will be so forgiving? not the society, and certainly not the relatives of the deceased. Tough job.

He was also telling me about how lawyers in the US station themselves outside hospitals chasing after patients or relatives asking if they want to sue the doctors for wadsoever reason, causing them unnecessary trauma, pain or even death. Hah..

been rather busy at medical centre recently... sighz really tired.. will try to blog again soon.
