Once when I was taking blood from a patient, he asked me “So macam mana hidup sebagai houseman? Susah tak?” Terdiam aku; nak jadi pakar bedah otak dah aku but I still don’t look old enough for the job. Gonna have to start dyeing my hair grey lah. HO forever 😂

Happiness in life looks different for different people If u see a foreign labourer excitedly taking pictures with KLCC & LRT, don’t judge. Because u look exactly the same when u play in the snow. What may be routine for u is somebody’s once in a lifetime Share the happiness😊

When a tumor is close to vital parts of the brain e.g. controls hand movement, this is how we determine if we are damaging that part during surgery Awake but painless, patient is asked to do a task/talk (depend on area of brain). If they suddenly stop, u know u are doing damage

Violinist Dagmar Turner, 53, played the violin so surgeons could ensure parts of the brain which control hand movements and coordination were not damaged during the tumour removal procedure🎻🎻🎻

A father with his 2 y/o baby girl travelled 400 km from Lahad Datu to Kota Kinabalu The tumour at the back of his daughter’s brain was growing again. A story to remind us of the hardships of a parent, the underprivileged, in a place less known, and commonly forgotten

How doctors are made in Malaysia 🇲🇾 I was invited by Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) to be an External Examiner for their medical students’ General Surgery exams The long & arduous journey of becoming a doctor is full of trials, tribulations… And never-ending exams.

A historic day as we performed the 1st Awake Brain Surgery in Sabah Awake Surgery involves advanced techniques of awakening the patient in middle of surgery to test their brain functions to ensure no damage is done to sensitive areas during surgery such as speech & movement

I have very huge respect to neurosurgeons in Kota Kinabalu. The amount of inconvenience they suffer everyday especially the random late night calls from all over Sabah.

Busy clinic day, as always, I walked out to see a patient on a stretcher in the corridor I looked at him, half his skull removed, his brain gently pulsating under his scalp He smiles back at me, tries to speak but no words come out, only wind from his tracheostomy tube

Yesterday a patient had bleeding in the brain & needed urgent surgery We were planning the surgery, when we got news he had suddenly passed away in ED. ED is swamped with COVID cases that close monitoring for patients is affected . COVID kills those with & without the disease.

To all fellow senior doctors, kalau nak roast your juniors with questions but in the end when they cant answer & u do not correct or teach them, plz die kudasai. Teaching is not the time to stroke inflated egos. Nak ajar, ajar betul2 to the point they understand. Ajar dgn ikhlas

Today, my 87-year old grandma passed away from COVID. She had recovered from a previous lung infection, discharged from hospital & transferred to a hospice, where she contracted COVID. Where she had gotten it from, we don’t know because her admission PCR was negative.

We each struggle in our own ways, but some struggle more than others Spend a little bit of your time to try to understand what others are going through, and then just a little bit more to see if u can help If u can, do. If u can’t, at least be kind. Kindness is always free.
