Two weeks have passed...
alright... the above is a case of Chronic Osteomyelitis of the right tibia (with multiple puss draining sinuses)...

Patient is a farmer, ignorant to modern medical care, sees quacks first during early stage of the disease (ayurveda, Hindu priests in temple, etc), condition got worse as seen above -> then he goes to hospital...

We in Malaysia wouldn't have allowed for such disease to progress to this level... Most Malaysians would have gone straight to the hospital for treatment before the above can even occur (except a few quack-believing Malaysians)....

I'll post more interesting cases in a day or two... for now, Medical students here can see how Chronic Osteomyelitis can present as....

Added on December 16, 2010, 4:21 pm... and the following are some of the differences between Malaysian and Indian health care system, with regards to private medical clinics and pharmacies (Warning - images are very large):


In India, Private clinics don't dispense medicines - that is solely done by the pharmacy. Doctor sees patient, make dx and treat, then gives prescription for the patient, the patient then buys the medicines from any pharmacy outside...

As you all can see from the first picture, a pharmacy is conveniently located beside a private clinic...

guys
i know the fact that children BP should be lower than adult
but i need to know the specific value for each age group (newborn,infant,young children and older children)

for example: peadiatrics normal resting pulse
age -------------------------- beats/min
<1 year -------------------------110-160
2-5 years------------------------- 95-140
5-12 years-------------------------80-120
>12 years  ---------------------------60-100

taken from book
but i couldnt for BP
of course BP cant be the same as adult
just look at the pulse
only child above 12 years old, the pulse value became same as adult

So,you means this will be covered in Clinical year? I'm currently 2nd year...I feel like so stupid to be so ignorance and yet arguing about uncertainty...

Yea. I got what he was saying. I am trying to visualise a situation when one is treated or attended to by Egypt graduated doctors.

That's what a doctor told me. By 5-10 years, doctors will be like people so sells toys down the street.

Well I'm just gonna say I'm going to a well-respected university 

But unfortunately the forum and website don't provide any clue I heard that it best to go to your first day without buying anything as the lecturer might using another book. Is it true?

This might be a little bit early but do you guys know the normal attire for the class?

i wonder which well respected uni will accept A-,B,B
