Dokter Muda

That's the title from now on :)



My first department is Dermatology & Venerealogy, and alhamdulillah, so far, ni lah stase yang paling santai daripada stase-stase lain. No on-call, no jaga (yet), working only at office hours (7/8am till 12pm, sometimes up to 3pm, depends if we have to attend the case reports or presentations by the DV residents).

First week
was a total suffer! I went early for work, hoping that I can go home early too. For the first 3 days, the only place we hang out is in campus, Gedung Radiopoetro lantai 3. Had to attend lectures ( tentiran), case reports, clinical pathology reports, grand round (which is basically more or less the same with case reports, journal presentations etc. And oh my! Borrring okay!

It felt good to be at campus again, tapi lama-lama rasa macam we don't belong there anymore. Takde muka-muka yang kita kenal tsk tsk T_T

The next 3 days, we were placed in poliklinik at Sardjito Hospital, hoping that we would get an interesting cases to be reported to our teaching specialists later. Tapi hampeh! The only thing we did was standing like a tunggul kayu, uncomfortably. Kita tak selesa, the residents tak selesa, patients pun tak selesa. Lagi ramai doktor dari pesakit. As I recalled, my Indonesian friend said, "Baru rasa jadi yang namanya koas, kerjanya cuma nganggur".

Second week
My group of three are sent to Klaten. Kat sini baru rasa best sikit. The nurses are very kind, siap bagi kitorang interview patients lagi. Resident DV pun baik. Bagi can dekat adik-adik koas buat anamnesis, ajar dan explain about the diseases in DV. At least pergi jauh-juah bukan tanam anggur semata-mata.

And when patients refer to you as 'doctor', that felt very very good :)
Rasa macam we meant something to them.
