the equivalent in ENT pradtice: the taboo word is "bone" as in 'i swallowed a bone"

Not something the ENT surgeon treats lightly too. We will try our level best to visualize it on the scope. if not seen then we will do imaging eg. X-ray or CT scan.
Once seen, we must removw it.
Failure is not an option...

While Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccine benefits have been proven in the female population, male HPV vaccination for teenagers is recommended to prevent transmission of the HPV to their sexual future partners, thus cutting down ge***al cancer risk in their future partners.

Even though the initial cost may be there, the benefits outweighs the cost factor.

Discover why more men are getting the HPV vaccine in Singapore and understand the growing awareness of its significant health benefits for both genders. Read more at straitstimes.com. Read more at straitstimes.com.

Mum was a nurse who reached her pinnacle in her career as a Matron who won the Anugerah Tokoh Jururawat of the year..

Since a kid, I had entered her room as an Operating Theatre (OT) Sister (the Head of Dept is called a Sister) and peeped around the OT, mingled with the doctors and saw how she worked late into the night preparing the staff duty roster. (now I know how important is that. The OT is like the Command Centre in the hospital or the nucleus in a cell) She would be so tired at the end of the day and trying to stay awake at the desk by munching the “keropok keping” (the ‘staple food’ in Terengganu then and forever ! ). She prefers the thick ones. She would be up and awake getting ready for work, cooking before waking us kids up the next day. Not an easy job indeed.
N now I know how crazily unpredictable the OT can get…one moment things can go smoothly, the next moment all hell would break loose !

So Happy Mother’s Day too ! I will remember your love and sacrifices. Wouldn’t be here if not for that.

A reminder to self to be appreciative of the contribution, hardwork and sacrifice of this very important group of people.. They are someone’s mother, sister, daughter or even grandmother with families of their own, so they are humans too – so be nice, show them kindness, humanity and humility too

A recent “Lawatan sambil belajar” (such a popular concept as a schoolkid then)

A study tour to the pathology lab to understand the work processes especially on our thyroid specimens. So that we understand each other’s perspective better.

To arrive at a well clinically-correlated diagnosis, besides making sure the samples are accurately acquired (and besides ensuring less pain n bruise to the patient), another important aspect is the pathology interpretation by the pathologist.

I am fortunate to have a close working partnership with her. We can always discuss on patient matters and have a common understanding to hear from one another’s opinion. Besides it keep the academic interest alive as we embark on sometimes challenging ambiguous tumours. It is all exciting indeed to see the words on the final report come alive in the pathology slides !
