2nd Semester ROCKS !!

Scanning list of semester 2 subjects; Microbiology, Immunology, Immunohaematology, Diagnostic Haematology, Parasitology, Clinical Biochemistry, Anatomy and Physiology and Moral Studies... Kinda excited to face new challenges, new syllabus~ First of all, I would like to brief about all the subjects and my current status with those subjects :-

(a) Microbiology

Lecturer: (Lecture + Tutorial) Mr. Sreejith
(Practical) Mr. Sreejith

Step into my classroom, my very first lesson was Microbiology... Wondering what it gonna be~ Well, possible it will be interesting since I know that it is all about bacteria and viruses~ Borrowed some related books from library and refer for weeks, realise that how interesting Microbiology will be, how diseases occur in this world, how scientist introduce their theories and researches~ Nowadays, H1N1 occupied as a biggest issue in the world still Hepatitis B and C will be the 1st in disease caused by viruses in the world.. It sounds interesting and challenging~ But... There's something I hate the most =.=" !!! From what you understand what is Microbiology, same time you need to memorise such a long long long long and damn horrible LONG NAMES !!! lol .. Banging my head to the wall, too bad I love this subject~ Just because of joyful of making bacteria culture.. Culturing those viruses that bring harm to human being... To test, to culture, to cure, to research, to diagnosis~ Currently, I did my bacteria smears, Staining for bacteria, Observing how bacteria looks like and identified accurately =D


(b) Immunology

Lecturer: (Lecture + Tutorial) Dr. Jega
(Practical) Mdm. Sree

Hoho.... The hardest subject I'm facing now ! lol.. I think most of you will know, obviously this subject related to our human immunity towards diseases... Gain some knowledge about antibodies, such as IgM, an antibodies that produce in human body naturally when delivered in this world within 6 months old; IgG, an antibodies that produce in human body when antigens stimulate the immunity of specific human body and etc... Just mentioned world highest dangerous disease, Hepatitis B and C... Every kid given Hepatitis B protection, by inject vaccine to all babies borned since 1990.. Sadly, till now there's no vaccination for Hepatitis C ( sigh~ ).. A lot of people wondering why Hepatitis B and C having the highest rate of infectious but why not Hepatitis A? Scientist found out that Hepatitis A spread the infection by oral, food, seafood will be the one, seafood lovers are advisable to take vaccine against Hepatitis A as it may cause liver cirrhosis when it goes to the terminal stage.. Unlike Hepatitis B and C, it infect to host (human being) by a drop of blood that contact with wound or any injury of skin.. Isn't it crazy? One drop of blood can cause one person to face the whole life of infection.. Pity.. By time, I had learnt till Antibodies and antigens, the method of performing serum towards antigen.. World, I will be joining The WHO ( World Health Organization ) bring my research and if possible with my vaccine to cure disease that out of solution...


(c) Immunohaematology

Lecturer: (Lecture + Tutorial) Mr. Sreejith
(Practical) Mr. Sreejith

By the way, Quite speechless about this subject as it almost same with the combination of Immunology and Diagnostic Haematology that we going to discuss next.. From the name given for this subject, dealing with blood is a must and of course with the other human specimens too (Stool, urine, Sputum, tissue fluids, saliva, etc...) Kinda shocked when I know I'm going to collect those " disgusting " specimens from a patient.. What to do, just used to it.. Training myself to face it.. The nightmare of my life, the SMELLS !! Yucks!!!!! Just hope it won't be a phobia for me =.=" !! Rarely stools and urine (unless the patient is required for a glucose estimation) will be collected.. Majority blood will occur daily in the rest of my life.. Observe our human common blood component; Red Blood Cells, Whit blood Cells, Platelets and Serum (obtained after centrifuged, without anticoagulant added to the blood) or plasma (obtained after centrifuged, with anticoagulant added to the blood)... Definitely it will be fun and exciting when you involve in hands-on exercise always~


(d) Diagnostic Haematology (D.H)

Lecturer: (Lecture + Tutorial) Mr. Sreejith
(Practical) Mr.Sreejith

Simiilar as Immunohaematology =D~ Did you know what's the major difference between this 2 subjects? Obviously the name ! xD lol... Did you donate any blood before? If you did, where did your blood will be ? Did you heard about blood transfusion? Did you wonder how doctor and nurse tansfuse the blood from one person to the other blood acceptor patients? Well, you're considerate if you did care the others.. Have you even wonder your blood holding a chance to save a person in the world.. Don't be stingy, guys and girls be sincere, donate your fresh blood to help a person in the world.. A pack of 250ml of fresh blood bring back a worthful life, how meaningful is that~ Be frank, not for ladies or girls, donation of blood is just a process of saving.. I have interviewed few friends, yet I found out they are facing fears towards the needles~ Common for everyone, holding a fear when the needle approaching to your vein, and I'm the one ! Currently, I have recovered from needle phobia.. Started to hold responsibility of testing, grouping by using various type of Anti sera (grouping reagents) and cross matching of bloods~ Save human in the world as much as I can ~


(e) Parasitology

Lecturer: (Lecture + Tutorial) Mr.Sreejith
(Practical) Mr.Sreejith

Almost similar with microbiology, difference just the study of parasites... Cancers that causes by a tiny parasite which rated as highly dangerous once they enter human colon (intestine).. every illness will started in primary stage but end up with terminal stage.. Besides for determination, identification plays the main role in this subjects~ Bacteria, Viruses and Parasites having same appearance when we view under microscope~ Short brief about Parasitology (not much syllabus to discuss).. The famous parasites that causes diarrhea; Entamoeba coli (a parasite commonly spread by using spore). Entamoeba histolytical (a parasite spread through oral to intestine and spread evenly with a ratio of 1 nucleus to 8 other daughter amoebulaes and it will lead liver abscess or intestine cancer unless it given medication earlier)... So scary when I heard this hazardous parasite~ We can prevent it by avoiding raw food as well as dirty hand in contact to our mouth~ Reminder ! Do wash your hand regularly yaaa !!!


(f) Clinical Biochemistry

Lecturer: (Lecture + Tutorial) Mr. Joseph Lopaz
(Practical) Mdm. Saras

Not much to say about this subject~ Since my lecturer always in a busy status due to meetings and councils~ Till now, only practical available in class.. Mid semester examination is coming.. Can't imagine how we going to survive in this subject that without a lecture to provide us notes and guidance.. Only hope that we can pass through this hard time by gaining extra knowledge in practical lesson... Full of sadness! I missed my Ex Clinical Biochemistry lecturer T.T Unfortunately, we need to say good bye to him since he provided a better offer from the government~ Bye and take care Mr. Pannir.. Miss you ever~


(g) Anatomy & Physiology

Lecturer: (Lecture + Tutorial) Mdm. Sree
(Practical) Mdm. Sree

A subject harder than Biology indeed.. The study of human cells, tissues, systems, structures and functions of everything involved in on human body~ Quite useless and nonsense this subject occurring in my subject list~ Sigh~ Happiness to escape Biology (a bored subject compare to microbiology).. You know, the nightmare is just began~ Escaped Biology, continue by Anatomy and Physiology =.=" ! What's The Difference Man !!!!! ROAR!!!! I hate this I hate this SUBJECT as well as this LECTURER !!!! Lecture = Read notes.. making me to sleep~ Glad to see that she changed her teaching method~ Is good~ Wait and see~ Trying to cope up or else I am DEAD in final !

(h) Moral Studies

Lecturer: (Lecture + Tutorial) Mr. Aladin

Obviously, Moral Studies and Malaysian Studies are compulsory for every college students in Malaysia.. Since I took my Malaysian Studies in previous semester, this semester i will be facing last MQA (Malaysia Qualification Agency) subject~ Hurray!! Hm to describe this subject is very easy~ A word and a sigh required~ " BORED!" Gladly, my lecture is a good guy and brings a lot of jokes to wake us up~ Thanks to him anyway, hope we appreciate what he taught us lately~ =D


As a simple conclusion, few subjects need 3 semester to complete~ To make sure we can master and expert in the specific field~ As we moving to other harder semester, clinical attachment period is approaching us~ Be confidence on your decision~ Do the best achieve the rest~ Just try to be as good as doctors, perform better skills avoiding error in everything~ Cover the world with a sheet of love and cares~ Valuable life is the best among the rest~ Appreciate your life, HUMAN!
