I was both excited yet nervous because I had more time to prepare this exam since this block had less subjects to be memorized. But I spent the previous weekend at home so I think I still need more sleepless night to make it possible to strike A. Aaamiin.
I decided to write again on this challenge since I was bored lately on my routine. Study, then get bored, overslept, wake up, then take the handout to the bed, then read some of it, overslept again, get shower, study again, and it went cycle. (The truth was I went overslept much than study lol)
One of my unforgettable teacher is dr. Tonang. He is a lecturer and taking clinical pathology as his specialist. He was one of best student in our faculty years ago, in 1993, even made it to the national level. After getting his MD, he got the scholarship in Tottori University, Japan for molecular pathology. Then he came back to Indonesia and decided to work in his almamater. He had a really stunning personality (it's not my personal opinion) and what he did was beyond giving lecture but he gave added value on his lecture, a lesson about life.
I got the chance to have him as my group tutor in the previous block, in pediatric. What the best from his was for letting us to speak our opinion without giving any pressure. Even, he gave some hints about what we should learn. And the most unforgettable advice from him was "I demand all of you to take out some negative words in your speech. Let us have a positive mindset, and we just need to start the mindset from our words. My rule is in this discussion, please take out -maybe-. It is a negative one and not scientific word. It may a hard one but lets practice it"
And the discussion went funny. Because every time we try to use 'maybe' we used to stop talking or change it with another word like 'we predicted it would be'. And it does have a really good impact on me. I do really talk carefully because people judge me from my speech.
Then in another block, he gave a lecture about blood transfusion. It's not about the lecture that impress me but the value he taught us. Firstly, it is about don't let people make funny of our self or don't let people to underrate us. He taught us, when we finally enter the clinical year, don't let the patient called us as clerkship, but "young doctor". Because clerkship had a negative image in the society for being incompetence, we should introduce our self in another way, build the new image. He was emphasizing about we should respect the senior, even when we know they do wrong procedures. It called manner. Later we can discuss about the senior's mistake, in a good way. And also, we should respect our junior also. Don't make fun of them. It will be good if we respect each other, right?
And he also jokes (i think he's not joking, but talking a serious stuff in fun way) about how to look for a good life's partner. They must be a frequent blood donors. Why? Because they definitely don't have HIV/AIDS, hepatitis viruses in their blood. They must be not having hypertension or hypo tension. They are healthy because they get stimulated to produce new red blood cells because of the transfusion. And the important thing is they must be having a good social side in their life because they loved to share!
I loved to have him as one of our lecturer in this pre-clinical year. It must be good to have him also in our (stressful) clinical year. But I do grateful to meet him, to learn a lot from him. Learn his positive thinking, a good islamic-thinking, and also as a seven stars doctor. Glad to learn a lot from you, dr. Tonang!
