~Conquering Broga Hill~

Yoo hoo!!!! Finally i've made it up to the top of Broga Hill....after so long of whining wanting to climb it, today finally i've climb all 4 peaks....It's kinda tough in the dark though but after the sun rises, everything is perfectly clear...I never knew the view of sunrise is so beautiful!!♥♥♥
Overnite at hostel on wed night as we need to depart at 4.15am....so, we all woke up at 3.45am to get ready and waited for the guys to come over to MC to meet us....
It's quite a long journey and very early indeed...but we all had fun...some of the guys didnt even sleep...maybe they're too excited? well, maybe...=D
Only 9 of us went up and some of them have been there before...but this is my First Time up the hill...and I am very excited about it!! the route's cool, lots of ups and downs and i enjoyed the thrill of climbing up the in the dark with a small torch...COOL!!!
We reach the first peak at around 6.15am...there are quite a number of people although it's a weekday but not as crowded as weekend...we continued our hiking to the second and finally reached the 3rd peak at 6.40am...some stayed back at the first peak because they're not feeling well...so some of us continued...

here we are, SUNRISE!!~







Continued our journey to the last peak...4th peak....it's not very far from the 1st....but it has a lot of rock climbing....

here we are!! 4th peak - 400m frm ground~~

Climbing is over...now what's for break1st? where else to eat other than Broga town pan mee...however when we reached there, it's not open...sad....so we've to change location....off to ikan bakar...drive all the way in to see another disappointment...it's not open too...so we're left with no choice but to go to kajang to have our break1st...by the time we reach kajang, it's no longer break1st...it's branch time...hahaha....so yea, we have curry mee and ice kacang there....ahhhh! there's nothing like a huge ice kacang after all those sweats...

Well, overall was fun for this event...although i am afraid, but i would like to try TABUR hill!! hahaha...

Emergency Reponse Unit (ERU team)

Y'day was the launching of Statewide 24 hours of Ambulance Service and Formation of Emergency Response Unit at KPS area HQ...Many officers from the national, state and area level came to our area HQ to witness this big event...

Emergency Response Unit is also called ERU...This team will be called out for duty whenever thr's disaster or emergency cases happen...ERU is form in almost every state by St John Ambulans Malaysia...

Y'day was the day where Selangor state St John form this unit...this unit is the combination of members from several areas in Selangor state...To join the team is easy but to participate in all the trainings will be a tough thg to do...

ERU team of SJAM-KPS

Next we will start our trainings with bomba and also attachments in the several hosp in Selangor...This is whr the tough part begins...

Our Malacca Physiotherapy Dept

The dept is divided into few rooms :

a) Electro

b) Gym

c) Hand

d) Woman's Health

e) Cardio-Respiratory
f) Hydrotherapy

Cool huh? Has signboard for every room..hehe...

Eletro room basically treats spine and shoulder problems...

In electro, we can see many patients which has frozen shoulder, shoulder impingement, PID, spondylolisthesis, spondylosis and etc...

Patients coming into this room usually do hot pack, traction, infra red, ultra sound and also exercises taught by the physiotherapist there..

This is the electro room..its the biggest among all rooms in the physio dept

Next will be GYM...

There are many many exercise machine in the gym...Gym focus more on the lower limb which is the leg...People who are suffering from lower limb prob will usually come to the gym...Most patient who come to the gym suffers from plantar fascitis, OA knee, RA, post-op and etc....these are the most common conditions can be seen in the gym....

The hand room is kinda small and packed...

Luckily the number of patients in the room are not many...haha...if not, the room will be like "PASAR"...hehe...

Patients coming in here usually suffers from trigger finger, carpal tunnel syndrome, golfer's elbow, tennis's elbow, colles's fracture and etc...

The most common treatment seen in the hand room will be WAX...hehe...

Most of the patient know what they must do...
1st : Wash their hands and dry them

2nd : Dip the injured part into the wax a few times

3rd : wrap the part with plastic bag n cloth

The patients are even better than us students...haha...

The other rooms in the dept are also small room...I've never been in the woman health's room...so i do not not the treatment and also cases seen in there....as for the cardio-respiratory room, it is actually our discussion room...students will have discussion with the physio every morn before we start our work...

About the hydrotherapy room, it is under construction...so i don't have the chance to see it being use....but anyway, i noe wat is a hydrotherapy room look like now...hehe....

Back from 2nd Clinical Posting

Finally back home after completing my clinical posting in Malacca GH...

This is our beloved Hospital Melaka

During these 1 month, i've learn many many thgs and seen many many different types of condition which happened in real life...
It has been a wonderful experience working with all the staffs and students from other colleges in the physio dept there...
They are all very friendly and kind to us throughout our posting there....
We have a lot of fun working together and playing with the patients there...
The patients in the hosp are all willing to share and friendly....
Whatever we ask, they'll explain to us...


In Malacca, we've seen many people suffering from Osteoarthritis(OA) knee...so most of the patients who come will landed up in gym as all the treatment is done in gym...
There are also many trigger finger and carpal tunnel syndrome cases...
Mostly affected teachers many due to prolong writing on the whiteboard...hehe...
In the wards we can see many MVA cases in Malacca....mostly involving motorcyclist and car drivers...but the person who injured the most will be the motorcyclist...
There are many young teenagers who are involve in these accident...
It is sad to see young children being knock down from the bike and fracture their leg...
Now they are in the hosp with either external fixator, on POP or etc....

This is eg of an external fixator on a fracture tibia/fibula

We kinda miss the dept staffs and also the patients there...really have a great time there altho we did not have a good start...as days passed, we kinda enjoy ourselves with the patients and also people working in the dept...

If there's any chance, i dun mind going back to this hosp for clinical placement...opss..hehehe....
