"..you are lucky to be studying medicine in this era where a lot of exciting things are happening."
Dia memang semangat pasal latest advancement in medicine, nobel prize etc. He always told us about what happened in the past when those imaging modalities were not available yet. Cucuk sana, potong sini, ikut nasib la kalau terjumpa apa yang nak dicari tu dan apabila dia bercerita(?) pasal USG, CT scan, PET scan macam boleh rasa mata dia bersinar-sinar tapi kanak-kanak yang duduk dengar dalam kelas tu buat muka bosan je. haih~

lebih kurang macam ni la kot. hahaha~
tapi dia lelaki la, umur dalam 50-an?
So he was telling something about life cycle of Echinococcus ( name of the parasite), then suddenly he was smiling and got excited to tell something. You know, the kind of feeling that you get when you suddenly remember something interesting and funny.
Dia ada kucing kat rumah, pastu tiba-tiba kucing tu nampak tak sihat. .
......<i forgot what he said here>......
"I went after my cat to collect the stool samples to send it to lab. I could see with my naked eyes that something is moving, something alive in the stools. The report came out and there was Ecchinococcus in the stools. So I was thinking and thinking what medication to give to my cat. I found drug called Praziquantel but the problem is how to give it to my cat??? You know, it is much more difficult to give medication to cat compared to dog. I don't know how many of you have experienced it.
It took me 7 days to just figure out the effective way to administer the drug to the cat. Day 1: I mixed Praziquantel in the milk but the cat ran away as soon as it could smells the drug.
I was experimenting various way for the cat to eat the drug. Finally, I found the best way is to mix Praziquantel with butter, make it like a paste.
Ok, lets continue to the clinical features........"

| "Hello world!" said Mr. Echinococcus |
Macam nikmat Allah jugak la, hanya kerana segala nikmat tu memang dah ada (life, health, oxygen, food, shelter etc) kita tak rasa perlu pun untuk bersyukur. We are losing the sense of wonder and sense of gratitude. What's left is the ATTITUDE that couldn't possibly bring us anywhere if not drag us down.
"It is a wonderful thing. You should not lose the sense of wonder."
