QUOTE(zstan @ Dec 23 2012, 10:55 AM) well if you want to opt for 'smaller' hospitals you can always apply places like pahang, kelantan, terengganu, perak etc. too far. if not in selangor, ns melaka or johor is ok |

With the tsunami of housemans, popular posts will fill up quickly, and you will get asigned somewhere.....they do not entertain appeals anymore, if you don't want, they will send someone else, and you can wait.....
So advise is, choose a smaller hospital, especially further from klang valley.....otherwise they may just assign sabah or sarawak to you..... |

On Tun Dr. Lim Keng Yaik's demise...
QUOTE ...Dr Lim died at 5.13pm on Saturday, leaving behind his wife Toh Puan Wong Yoon Chuan and three children. He was 73. Si Pin said he and his family were in Hong Kong on a holiday when he got a call from his father to return home. “He was supposed to join us on the trip, but he pulled out when he started having problems with his leg. He had been ill for a year and was hospitalised on Friday with breathing difficulties,” he added. Si Pin said Dr Lim requested to be moved back home from the hospital as “he wanted to pass away in his own house”. When asked what was his father's last words to the family, Si Pin replied: “Live life and go on...now you don't have to stay three feet from me.”... Source: http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=...0024&sec=nation Since we have yet to know the actual cause of death and if we are to speculate... could it possibly be due to pulmonary infarct from an emboli coming from his leg? DVT? ... ? Then again he was ill for the past 1 year...? cancer perhaps? Anyway... RIP for the late Tun and condolences for his family.

He had cancer.
If I'm not mistaken it was a 'manly' cancer. Either prostate or testicular? |

Let the man RIP.
There is no need for any speculation on his medical condition in public space. |

I was asking purely out of curiosity on the mechanisms/prevalence of hypercoagulability state in malignancies, so I agree. any one can shine some light on this issue? Also this article is pretty good: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1550339/ another dumb question: do we put all patients undergoing chemo/radio with DVT prophylaxis? |

Not really unless the patient is quite immobile or bed ridden. Compression stockings is mmuch a viable alternative for prevention if the patient is not highly at risk. DVT prophylaxis with drugs may give rise to unwanted bleeding.any one can shine some light on this issue?

You need to work on that english if you want to do med/ study abroad. Alevels is the best choice imho. provides a broader pathways after and prepares you better for uni, in general. If you want twinning, there are a few to choose from, manipal, pmc and IMU are basically the main choices. I don't really count Monash sunway>clayton as 'twinning' though. How're your results? |

I am not interested in medicine at all but I am merely asking on behalf of my friends what names to run away from when it comes to dodgy medicine programs. Sorry for not doing my own research because it is just not me, I am expecting nothing but a short reply. So far, I only know of SEGi and the notorious President College. What else should be added to the list?
