QUOTE(cygoh9 @ Sep 11 2009, 11:50 PM) My confusion is not how the mechanism work. That thing I know.ok la....like this!This is about the blood glucose regulation mechanism.Below is my problems. The correction to hyperglycemia is due to the intensity of stimulus. When there is something wrong to the mechanism the stimulus will persist and of course the symptom like polydipsia will persist and these are due to the frequency of stimulus. This is what I think,I am not sure whether the statement above is correct or not.So,please give me some idea about this. Another thing that I confuse here is the symptom that persist is due to intensity or frequency?Example,the diabetes patient will keep on feeling thirsty is because the frequency of stimulus or intensity?

May I suggest that you take up a remedial English class? SORRY! This is about the blood glucose regulation mechanism.I change the sentence already.Do you feel better now?I'm so sorry for create this problem here.I will try to write the sentence properly next time. I know my stupid english is terrible,if any mistake I did please correct me. I hope I can learn how to use proper english from daily life and here.

QUOTE(limeuu @ Sep 12 2009, 05:26 PM) mbbs, where are you studying again?....... Im studying in cucms. I just want to know the relationship between these 2 factors.Are you mean that I no need to know these?if this is what they are teaching, i worry.....both at the things they are teaching, and you obsession with obscure facts of no clinical relevance........ They taught me about the mechanism but do not relate anything to intensity and frequency.Maybe,I think too much. Here,the first semester we learn the basic medical sciences in separated subjects as introduction to make sure we have the strong basic of medical sciences. Then second semester onward we will start to learn all these basic medical sciences by organ system and of course some clinical relevance stuff will be injected as well. So,now we just at the quite basic state but lecturer trying to relating some fact that we learn with some clinical cases to make it more interesting and understandable.Now,I have finish my first course that is general anatomy and enter second course ,physiology. I can understand what is actually happening in mechanism of blood glucose regulation and the problems occur when there is something wrong to the mechanism.Other than that,I also can relating some classical symptoms(polyuria,polydipsia,glucosuria) of diabetes mellitus to the things that I learn. Maybe I think those what i learn can related to intensity and frequency of stimulus but cant actually. This post has been edited by MBBS siang: Sep 12 2009, 06:01 PM |

QUOTE(limeuu @ Sep 12 2009, 07:09 PM) Now they are teaching the basic science like anat,physio,patho,pharmaco as introduction for one semester before we enter system......! What are you expected?Actually,I will relating the blood glucose regulation mechanism to the "intensity" and "frequency" . Its because I think that the beta cell detect the amount (intensity)of glucose in the blood is increase to the level that higher than the set-point then the correction will be carried out. If there is something wrong to the mechanism ,so ,the correction could out occur properly and the stimulus(abnormal high level of glucose) will persist that keep on stimulate the beta cells to correct the conditions(frequency). Im trying to use this 2 words to explain. This post has been edited by MBBS siang: Sep 12 2009, 08:13 PM |

Why I am trying to relate the blood glucose regulation mechanism to the "intensity" and "frequency" ?
It is because I think that the amount (intensity)of glucose in the blood is increased to the level that higher than the set-point is detected by beta cell, then the correction will be carried out. If there is something wrong to the mechanism the correction could out occur properly and the stimulus(abnormal high level of glucose) will persist and keep on stimulating the beta cells to correct the conditions(frequency). So, I try to use these 2 words to explain.

I know what you are trying to say.It is due to the glucose which contained in the filtrate of renal tubule that attracting the water from ECF of the surrounding of the renal tubule then cause polyuria.The body continue to lost the water this stimulate the thirst center to tell us to drink water(thirsty)polydipsia.This post has been edited by MBBS siang: Sep 12 2009, 09:00 PM |

QUOTE(zltan @ Sep 12 2009, 09:35 PM) I think you are mixing things up. We have not learn the action potential yet but I learn it in stpm before. The exam for last friday which about the homeotasis do come out with the word intensity but I forgot the sentence already.Therefore,I try to explain it with these 2 words.Did they teach you about Action Potentials and nerves? Something along the lines of the intensity of the stimulus determines the frequency of action potential firing? What you are doing at the moment is mixing the nervous system with the endocrine system. Words must be used accurately in the right context. P/S: You need to work on the bolded parts This post has been edited by MBBS siang: Sep 12 2009, 08:50 PM |

QUOTE(cygoh9 @ Sep 12 2009, 11:27 PM) I appreciate your enthusiasm. But you will cover endocrine soon, not now. And I'm still unclear on what you said. Hmm....I know already.I dont think there is much of nervous system involved in beta cell stimulation. PS have you covered the physiology of how glucose enter beta cell yet? and how insulin is secreted etc. I don't relate the endocrine system with nervous system actually.No,we just roughly know the process because have not enter the system yet. |

QUOTE(limeuu @ Sep 12 2009, 11:55 PM) medicine is a very precise field, and the terms used means very specific meanings, sometimes different from what lay people understands...... True. I have to learn.hence a good command of the language used for medical practice is vital.....and in msia, and much of the world as well, the language used is english...... therefore fluent and faultless use of english is vital for effective communication between healthcare personnels........ and therefore, those medical students whose english ability is wanting, should take effort to have it remedied asap.......... |

QUOTE(valens @ Sep 13 2009, 01:51 AM) i am just going to be honest here.. it actually scares me, to think of what our future Drs are going to be after reading the few recent posts here.. Where are your worries come from? Thanks! i could possibly be one of their patients one day, and i wish things will turn out ok. perhaps i may have to screen test the Drs first before they actually screen test me in the future.. We are students,if there is any misconception about what we learn is acceptable.As long as the students willing to find out the answer is consider good. You should have confident to the future doctors here,most of them are very helpful and open minded. We have exposed to so many cases regarding the irresponsible of HO.So,that is very good reminder to us before we become HO. This post has been edited by MBBS siang: Sep 13 2009, 09:27 AM |

QUOTE(limeuu @ Sep 13 2009, 10:51 AM) the other area of concern is the motivation of young doctors from henceforth...... This is very true.I totally agree with this.The bolded part is highly concerned.The patients shouldn't be the victims in order for a young doctor to compensate their investment or gain more than that. The most important thing to be concerned must be the ethics.The doctor wanna be should understand what they are going to learn is not just the medical knowledge but the passion to care. >20 years ago, there are no private med schools, education even overseas like uk/oz was virtually free. even those who went to india pay relatively little. over the last 15 years fees have increased significantly........now, with the mushrooming of med schools both locally and overseas, and high fees private med education, young doctors will have paid anyway between a quarter to over a million ringgit for their education....... there is going to be a very strong urge to recoup this investment as quick as possible.......this will change the way medicine is practiced.......and ethics and patients will be the victims....... all we need is to have 10% of young doctors compromising ethics.....(the figure is likely to be more than 10%, based on normal human behaviour and motivation)........ yes, there are very strong grounds to be concerned......... All the ethics are come from the "passion to care".My mum always remind me,when I graduate as a doctor don't put the money as the priority and please care your patients properly because she is going to be our future patients. So,every doctor wannabe please bear in mind.When we start to do something irresponsible to the patient please think of it for a while.Will you still do the same things if the patient is our parents or siblings.(touch wood) Of course, I will always remind me and keep me away from "syaitan"!

QUOTE(csrulez @ Jan 8 2010, 02:59 PM) I was kinda surprised to hear from few of the year 3 students from indonesia admitted to AIMST (year 2) following the andalas incident late last year. Format of the exam is not the main concerned. My friend from new castle(UK) also never answer the essay questions but they know what they learned. They have totally no experience in writting SAQ/LAQs paper, and i was told that their final paper only consisted of 200 MCQs. I mean, come on. They've not sat for any essay questions throughout their whole course. How can that be? And FYI, they did quite badly in the exams here at AIMST. Now, i doubt the quality of doctors produced by Indonesia. The main problem in Indo is the course contents in basic medical sciences rather than the exam format. In my college, we also don't have the essay but our final exam contain short answer questions. In my opinion, sometime essay questions may bring some negative effect to the medical students. Medical students tend to study for exam or try to memorize what they learned for exam just because worry about the essay questions. Of course, not all students will be like that but I believe most of the medical students will do that if there are essay questions. |

QUOTE(onelove89 @ Jan 16 2010, 02:05 PM) he did mention about SAQ and LAQ. By rights there should be some of SAQ/LAQ rather than 200 questions of MCQ. the bold part I don't really understand. I reckon you're saying that they are blindly memorizing w/o understanding for the exams? Yea. I mean students will tend to only aim their target for exam rather than the knowledge itself and some of them may just blindly memorize the fact in order to answer the essay questions but do not really understand.Sorry, for did not saw the "SAQ/LAQ" mentioned by csrulez.

QUOTE(StarGhazzer @ Feb 27 2010, 11:50 PM) These are things that we already know, but unfortunately can't do much to change it unless one has huge 'connections' with those that yield the power. Recognition of universities can only be decided by the authorities, but within the hospital itself things can be done to help improve the quality of the junior staff. Absolutely, the senior medical staffs have nothing much can do to change the situation as everything are beyond their control but improve the mentorship is the only way to achieve the win-win situation. No points of complaining but keep the situation the same. They should try to guide those sub-par junior medical staff properly in order for them to be more competent and on par with other HO . Senior medical staffs play insignificant role in recognition of medical school and registration of medical graduates. Therefore,keep on criticizing and complaining will never improve the circumstances now. We're going in circles here; what we're seeing now is many senior medical staff complaining on the media and blogs about the sub-par standards of certain foreign university graduates, but how many of them are actually pushing for a proper mentorship/training programme within the hospital to help them? Supervise them, guide them the proper way of doing things, show them how it's done, assess and provide constructive feedback, rectify and countersign paperwork, it sounds like babysitting but if it helps them to improve then it's a win-win situation.

QUOTE(limeuu @ Apr 15 2010, 06:19 PM) this i don't understand........can someone who can think like a politician explain this to me?.......... Apparently,they mean private practice may encourage doctors to remain in the country. I think they mean reduce the years that required compulsory service and of course housemanship will be remain the same.in any case, it comes to the same 4 years, iike before they increased the housemanship to 2 years... and also this is in preparation for the expectation glut in doctors in 4-5 years time..........the gov need NOT have to provide employment for junior doctors after 4 years, like they have to within the h/0 and compulsory service period........... Btw, the logic behind is partially true. I don't think most of the medical doctors will leave because of this. Even if you shorten the compulsory service,they will still leave and give them an earlier chance to leave. This post has been edited by MBBS siang: Apr 23 2010, 06:50 AM |
