Advanced Level Ultrasound Course 2009

I'm in Ipoh now for 3 days attending an advanced course in ultrasound. Truly glad that i was allowed to go for this course this year. Actually I'm still a baby in this field. But, i just feel it is the right job for me. I'm so eager to absorb everything they teach in this course. Ultrasound is a very highly demanded nowadays. So many dctors, nurses and sonographers are here to get as much knowledge as they can including me. making new friends also not excluded from my schedule. That is me. Everywhere i go, being alone without any friend coming along is okay to me. i love making new frineds and share their experiences. I get to know some GP's who just open their own centre and eager to learn about ultrasound to widen their spec of bussiness. I'm glad they are Malaysians who are thinking way ahead. Way to go! Hopefully there will be my chance to go way ahead too...

lelaki = pemimpin

skang dah pun pagi. ngantuk tapi rasa macam nak menaip kat sini. afzal dah sepuluh bulan sekarang. alhamdulillah dia sihat.makan pun sekarang dah banyak. lega tengok dia macam tu.harap2 takde masalah lagi. dia nampak better sejak amik pneumococcal injection tu.so, aku memang berpuas hati walaupun mahal tapi nampak kesannya positif especially bila anak kita yang tu je kan...kalau boleh semua yang terbaik kita nak bagi dia. harap bila besar nanti dia akan jadi insan yang kuat fizikal dan mental. berpegang teguh pada agama Islam. mengerjakan suruhanNya dan meninggalkan laranganNya. apalagi yang aku nak dia jadi?? hmm...aku nak dia jadi lelaki yang kuat berusaha, rajin belajar dan boleh berdikari serta bijak membuat keputusan. biasalah, sebagai ibu kita sentiasa nakkan anak kita jadi yang terbaik.sebab tu nama dia 'yang terbaik'. harapan aku sebagai ibu memang tinggi. bukan untuk aku semata, tetapi untuk dia dan masa depan dia. harapan aku dia jadi apa yang kebanyakan lelaki sekarang dah lupa. KETUA. lelaki adalah ketua dan pemimpin. alhamdulillah ayahnya macam tu. harapnya, ayah dan mama dia ni dapat bimbing dia untuk ke arah tu. walau susah hidup kita, kita tak putus asa berusaha. walau senang hidup kita, kita tak bongkak dan lupa diri... harusnya, kita sentiasa tunduk dengan ilmu. bukan tunduk tu bermaksud ikut telunjuk org membabi buta.tapi tunduk dalam erti kata dalam surah Luqman. aku suka surah Luqman.banyak mengajar aku jadi MANUSIA dan pembimbing (ibu).semoga satu hari nanti aku dapat ajar afzal mengaji dan mencintai quran dan kandungannya. aku takut bila tengok sekeliling(dunia) aku, terlalu jauh manusia denganNya. jadi aku bimbang mampu ke aku membesarkan afzal dengan ilmu agama yang secukupnya? hanya padaNya aku bermohon setiap kali solat. semoga sentiasa bernaung di bawahNya. sejak jadi ibu, aku terlalu berhati2. bimbang apa yang aku taknak berlaku dalam hidup aku. walaupun org kata jaga anak perempuan susah, bagi aku anak lelaki pun tak beza.

Afzal,
harapan mama, mama dapat bersama afzal, dapat besarkan afzal dengan ilmu yang Allah berikan pada mama. mama nak Afzal ingat hidup ni umpama pentas yang akhirnya akan sampai ke penghujungnya. baik atau tidak pengakhirannya, kita yang menentukan dengan akal , ilmu dan iman yang Allah kurniakan. pandai2 Afzal untuk merencanakan pengakhirannya. Afzal sebagai lelaki atau PEMIMPIN, seharusnya faham apa yang mama cuba sampaikan. Afzal akan faham bila sampai masanya.....

The Secret

Last few weeks was a total disaster for me. But it was! It will never be again! I'm starting a fresh new life and a fresh new me. I'd always think hard before and now i'm thinking simple and easy. My husband did help me in this. When i had a shower yesterday evening, I'd just remembered about what my husband had once told me while we were wacthing The Secret "Things happens the way we think it could happens". I'd never really think about it until that day. I think people are #$%^ and what i see then is people around me are acting like #$%^. I told my husband before that i can't bear any longer where i'm starting to loose my edge. I'm starting to act like them, negative in every way possible. He knew me as a person who always enjoy life, a joyful person who he wanted to be with for the rest of his life. But now, it's different where he is the one who has make me laugh and cheer me up. He knew very well what had happened to me and how was it happened. So, without wasting any time, i asked him "do you still have the The Secret DVD?". He wondered but told me that he kept it somewhere he can't recall. So, it took him more than 15 minutes to find out it was actually in my chest drawer. "haha"....so, i hurrily finished everything i was doing at that point of time and watch the DVD. To my surprised, my husband was sitting next to me watching together the DVD that he had watched a couple of times before. He is a very supportive soul mate! So, i took my baby boy to watch it together as a family. I knew that he won't understand anything. But, all i wanted to do is doing the positive thing and i want him to be with us doing it. so, it took about an hour or so. While we were watching, i knew that people were wondering why these three people were so excited watching it. But, i just continue watching it until i found that i really found what i should have found earlier. And i thank to my husband for being there for me and for being positive which encourage me to be positive in every way possible. So, after watching the video, I cooked a simple dinner. And i told my husband this thing gonna have to end. I don't want to live in anger or unsatisfied for the rest of my life. All i wanted to do is living this life happily as we were when we both met. Everything in a right shape. So, he told me to stop take thing negatively. take everything positively. Although people are meant to be mean at us, we just let them chew those thing to themselves. we just do the right things we wanted to do and realise all our dreams at the same time never let people look down on us and be nice to them as if there is nothing going on. It's kinda hard but, with him by my side i knew i'll did it! so, i stop thinking negative, i started thingking positive. I woke up early, drive my son and me to work. breastfeed him and have a nice breakfast with my friend. and now here i am, typing this thing to let people know that this is the new me and i'm going to rock this world with my energy, my thoughts and my positive aura.

What is sonography?

Ultrasonography, commonly called sonography, is a diagnostic medical procedure that uses high frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to produce dynamic visual images of organs, tissues, or blood flow inside the body. This type of procedure is often referred to as a sonogram or ultrasound scan. Sonography can be used to examine many parts of the body, such as the abdomen, breasts, female reproductive system, prostate, heart, and blood vessels. Sonography is increasingly being used in the detection and treatment of heart disease, heart attack, and vascular disease that can lead to stroke. It is also used to guide fine needle, tissue biopsy to assist in taking a sample of cells from an organ for lab testing (for example, a test for cancer in breast tissue). Unlike X-rays, sonography is a radiation-free imaging modality.
The non-physician professionals who perform these procedures are known as sonographers and vascular technologists (who are sonographers specializing in imaging and tests of blood vessels).
There are several areas of specialization in the field of sonography. These specialty areas are:

• Abdomen - evaluation of all the soft tissues, blood vessels and organs of the abdominal cavities (for example, liver, spleen, urinary tract, pancreas)
  
• Obstetrics/Gynecology - evaluation of the female reproductive system
  
• Echocardiography - evaluation of the anatomy and hemodynamics (blood flow) of the heart, its valves and related blood vessels
  
• Vascular Technology - evaluation and analysis of the hemodynamics (blood flow) of peripheral and abdominal blood vessels
  
• Neurosonology - evaluation of the brain and spinal cord
  
• Ophthalmology - evaluation of the eye, including orbital structures and muscles

my job

Sebelum aku start kerja as a sonographer di PPUKM (previously known as HUKM), aku memang tak tahu langsung pasal kerja ni. Sampai la aku ditakdirkan kerja kat Scan Room, O&G Clinic,PPUKM. Sejak tu, aku sentiasa belajar benda baru. Semua staf kat scan room memang tak lokek ilmu. So, bermula lah episod hidup aku as a sonographer...

kursus....

hari ni aku bersemangat sket walaupun still feel sleepy.dah berminggu tak cukup tidur. not exactly sebab afzal la...it's actually sebab aku tanak sampai keje lewat. so i have to make sure that aku keluar rumah at 6.15am.so boleh sampai dalam 7.15am. hari ni jumaat so, our clinic takde patients sangat. tadi just buat 2 orang patients who came for post menopausal follow up and family planning clinic.then just tolong prof for klinik pakar punye detail scan. yang tak bestnye, datang la sorang houseman yang tak reti nak berbudi bahasa saying that she has detail scan today. tapi tak note dalam app. book. so, aku tanya la mana dapat app, dia marah plak.hiss...kita berbahasa dia nak naik angin plak.sudahnya, aku pass je la kat klinik dia untuk tentukan masalah dia...aku cuma memastikan perjalanan scan berjalan lancar di bilik scan.tapi untuk hal-hal appointment dari klinik pakar, biarlah mereka menjalankan tanggungjawab mereka dengan telus...aku ni bertugas di government wing...not private wing....

tadi, kak fahya told me to apply for ultrasound course.bagus jugak! there are 2 courses. basic and advanced.i think i'm going both of them.barulah aku certified....keje ultrasound ni memang best. tapi, kena ada minat and kepakaran and the skill have to be approved by any established ultrasound organisation.then, you can proudly do your job. senang sket bila dah certified ni.you'll be more confident...jangan over confident dah la....

kerja ohh kerja....

hari ni keluar kerja pukul 6.20 am.nasib baik jalan tak jam sangat.sampai ppukm, aku gi hantar afzal and then masuk kerja.hari ni patients tak ramai.

sian afzal...

skang afzal tengah nyenyak tido. tadi kat nursery ada kajian medic student.all went well.alhamdulillah doc cakap development dia ada yang lebih advance dari umur dia....hmm...maybe khasiat breastfeeding kot...petang tadi aku main dengan dia kat bilik.dia kan dah lasak.so, dia panjat2 la mana yang boleh dipanjat. tetiba, dia boleh jatuh ke lantai...hmm..nangis punye la teruk....sian plak aku tengok tapi tu la...dah lasak...malam ni tak pegi kedai nenek.so, aku masakkan dia bubur ikan tenggiri.afzal kongsi bubur dengan mama...hehe...banyak jugak dia makan.tapi dah kenyang boleh plak terbatuk2 sampai muntah...pastu aku breastfeed dia.ye la sebagai ganti nasi yang dia dah muntahkan tu....tu yang tidor lena skang.
