No lah, she dun have asthma....
Well, saw a 5 y.o. gal justnow. After taking history & examine her, I diagnosed AEBA.

Spoke to the mother.... after some explanation...

Dr: Asthma can be cured if treated & follow-up regularly...

Mother: Nooo... She dun have asthma..

Dr: Yes, from what u discribe n the wheezing, this is asthma... n we can cure it completely if we tackle it well...

Mother: No la she always like that wan, when sick then only like that... take medication then ok liao...

Dr: But u said her attacks quite frequent right? 2 - 3 times a month? That will need long term treatment n follow-up for her... I'll like to...

Mother: No lah, she just very 'lam' (weak) mar... taken medication then ok lor... U just gib me this this n that medication she always take enough...

Dr: Well, I'll sure give her the medication she require... but will also like to follow-up her, I suggest u to start an asthma diary for her... bla.. bla... bla...

Mother: (Give me a why u so keh po? type of look) We very busy wan la ... U give medication ok liao la...

PDA in a day...
Ok, what PDA am I using? It's a Palm Tungsten T2 with Panasonic 256MB SD paired with Ericsson T39m.

Usually the T39m will wake me up but sometime if I want to wake up earlier, I'll set my T2's WorldClock alarm.

At work, for PIM function, I'm using Agendus; schedulling, looking up contacts & pager nos...

If I'm running an OT for the day, I'll use a small Excel file I created on DocToGo to culculate the doses of Induction Agents needed for Paediatric cases.

Sometimes using MedCal for some formulas. SnapCalc is also very handy especially when I need the calculator function but don't want to close whatever applications I was running at the time...

After my patient is under and stable, I read eBooks or Textbooks on iSilo; Brows the web using WebPro; Currently, trying to start blogging using mo:Blog.

When I get really bored even after browsing the web with WebPro, I do play some games on my Palm; Read comics using ComicGuru; Showoff some photos with AcidImage & some 'ahem ahem' video clips with Kinoma Player to my colleagues.

Oh, I log my cases using HandBase (damn lazy to log.... that reminds me that I didn't write my logbook yesterday)

Will also use the Memo function to write some notes or refer to previous notes. When I'm on-call, will jog down refered cases and traced results on NotePad.

When I need to refer to texts... I use textbook in iSilo format or few Skyscape products like 5MCC, AnesthesiaDrugs, ClinAnes and ACC Pocket Guide; For drug reference, I'm used to ePocrates Rx and AbxGuide.

Few other useful medical applications that I use are: Eponyms, ICUMath, Kidometre.

Off-line Journals readers like JrnlToGo and

Manage SMS with TTCommunicator, (Hate to type on numeric pad).

Monitor my cash flow with SplashMoney.

Read Bible with BibleReader & tune guitar with PhonTuner (thanx David for beamming me this).

Ok, when I go to KL jalan-jalan, Metro brings me from place to place and Mapopolis gives me the orientation... before I call up my friend in KL for help. :)

Counting down...
So it has been 12hr since I started my last call of the month.

So what am I doing @8:10pm? Still 'goyang-goyang' infront of my Anest Mechine with a case of perforated appendisitis on the table... Boring? Beats me...

But was excited enough earlier with a 31 weeker eclamsia and another 110kg lady with BMI of 45 for LSCS. I think that's enough of excitement for today.

Reminder call from KKIA

My wife received a reminder call from KKIA (Klinik Kesihatan Ibu dan Anak) Tmn Tun Sardun regarding her antenatal check-up coz she defaulted her appointment last friday.

(Ok, She had a seminal and I've got another appointment for her with our O&G specialist in GH).

Isn't tht impressive? Now tht's one good e.g. for good service provided by govt clinic!

Kudus to the KKIA staff nurse who made the call! :)
