TRUS biopsy






how this to be done?
hmm as elaborated in picture, seem some scanning probe need to be poked into the ass
then locate the prostate and take some sample by using a specific biopsy needle
is just a simple procedure taking 5 to 10 min, but the draw back is
oh.. gosh..the scanning probe just too huge.. OMG!!!

clearing out other people shit..

urodynamic study




previously i wonder what is this test.. always heard consultant said if patient with problem of passing urine, should send them for urodynamic study..

it sound like :"wow" ...

seem like: "i will solve all your water work or plumbing problem"

now after seeing and performing this test.. it is actually nothing great..
just a diagnostic tool, and then the usual phase of doctor: "continue the same"
haha...

how to do it? hmmm it is weird, like some sort of crazy lab performing incredible hulk transforming procedure.. .. .. to the private part..

it need 2 transducers, each to the different hole of perineum, ie the urethral meatus and anus
with 2 wires connecting to the computer.

besides, it need also 3 taps, 2 tapping at both sides of the anus, and 1 at the thigh..
with wires connecting to the computer as well..

then with water instilling into the bladder through the penile transducer, the computer will measure the water work and pressure change etc etc etc..

interpretation is by manual, and all the high 5 term and medical jagons being used

and.. and... the management plan is the typical words: "continue the same"

on call

u know what is the most depressing call?
that is now.. doing nothing but waiting for a patient to die
he is an advanced cancer patient, who been showed sign of deterioration
i predicted that he will die soon, and anytime from now..
in fact, i have waited his death since 4pm, but he is still hanging on
whole family is here, of course they all crying and surrounding
we have already decided not for active resuscitation, just waited for him to stop breathing
sound cruel... but what to do, this is life...
chinese people believe that better for somebody to pass away at home rather than in hospital
but for malay, maybe this is different...
