a case

assalamuallaikum...

i should be busy studying for my just next week paed's exam...*plez pray for me..hehe* but i just wanna share a story bout a case i saw few days back dat touch my feeling today....

luckily. i'm not as busy as previous weeks for this week as our group had cover on most of the class...so,fortunately, sy bpeluang on call yg benor2 on call...hehehe~together with man, my grup leader...so, as kene join ward round n so on....km terjumpa sorang budak india, bout 9 years old...come with squint (juling) and facial asyymettry ( muka senget sbelah)...dan,berjalan xstabil...asek nak jatuh2...



the doctors and us were there with the patient bout sejam gakla, asking history, do examinations...adalah agak pelik presentation mcm ni kat kanak2...dan si ibu menunggu slama sminggu b4 bawak anak ke hospital...thinking that it's just a small problems...related to refractive error...dan bawa anaknye ke kedai cermin mata....

doctor did order for emergency CT scan for this child and found out she had some kind of lesion di kawasan otak nye (lebih specific utk yg memehami,di brainstem n cerebellum)...it's most likely a malignant tumor...cancer...

investigations had still been carried out to rule out the cause...tapi, bak kata doc saya, mungkin adek ni mengidap medulloblastoma...iaitu cancer yg rendah tahap survival nye...i was touch by my doc's word as me n man who r d student yg mula2 saw this kid...and she was really nice, innocent and naive...

rasa sedih if it's true...her mother plak is just 23...sbaye plak tuh ngan sy (but da ade anak...hehe)....how to cope with the lost one day??only God knows...

i'd stressed it so many times...if ur child had some symptoms, or just having fever, go and get medical treatment as early as possible...u never know what'll happen for just a simple symptoms....

bye!
