Went to Kangar visiting today to run the OT. Did 5 cases (8 procedures) assisted by senior MO there. Then Ms Jun finished the clinic and then joined us to do the last case, a buried penis. I think I should be able to do the next buried penis.
We went to PICU to do rounds. Two things happened:
1- The MO was presenting the case while I sneaked to see what's the kid's name. Then I went to her side and talked to her.
"Naira… Naira okay? Ada rasa sakit ke?"
I was crouched down to her level on the bed, close to her, my voice quiet and soothing. She nodded as I asked how her blackened fingertips were.
Man, I talk so lovingly with ill kids. I imagined this is the tone to use with a lover. Hey Hisashi-kun.
2- The intensivist mentioned that she discussed the case with Mr Tar because he doesn't mind ever being consulted and I thought was this person papa's trainee? Her name is Dr Rozaidahanim. I was gonna text dad after we're done here but then Ms Jun went and introduced me to her.
"Kau kenal tak-"
I put my nametag out to introduce myself but-
"-bapak budak ni? Dr. Hanifah."
Erk. Introduce me first la why my dad!
Dr. Rozaida's face lit up. "Dr. Hanifah ayah awak? Kirim salam dia. Dia bos paling baik you can ask for."
"Haha.. ya saya kirimkan salam."
"Awak anak yang belajar kat Mesir tu kan? Ada dia mention dulu."
"Haah ya.." I grinned.
"Master Paed Surgery sekarang?"
"Saya nak ambil Paeds, tapi ayah saya kata saya tak cukup bertenang nak jadi Paediatrician."
They laughed as we bid our goodbyes.
