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....
