Appreciate your limbs !

It is hard to meet a day without MVA ( motor vehicle accident ).So it is almost impossible for me now to do oncalls without case.Sometimes the numbers reached up to total 25 cases only in one day !

But, Alhamdulillah Allah gives me strength.I like orthopaedics.I like dealing with bones, muscles, fresh blood, and even maggots in diabetic foot !
Really, Allah is merciful.I learn many things in this posting.How I'm feel very lucky to have complete four limbs while certain other people have to sacrifice their leg.Human only appreciate things when that things lost...na'uzubillah.

Be careful my brothers and sisters.Drive safely.I've already seen many cases here, don't follow them.Please pray before you drive, and keep zikrullah while you're driving.When your limbs get fractured, then it will create problems.Think about people around you, your mum, father who realy concern and care about you.Don't burden their life because once you fractured, you need somebody to help you moving and that's the time they have to sacrifice themselves for you.At least...

Last week, a man around 60 years of age, underwent above knee amputation.Pity on him, he actually still in denial state.He could not accept that he will lost his limb untill his son managed to counsell him.When I was in the operation theatre room, Dr Zubir's initial plan was just wound debridement even in the consent written KIV AKA.At last we found that the infection was very bad and spreaded up to above knee then AKA was proceed.We did in spinal anaesthesia, so the man actually knew that we were operating him in the OT during that time.He kept asking for cold drinks even before we put him on the table and continue mumbling until the time we cut his left limb into two.Alhamdulillah...the operation was successful.

Knowledge is wonderful.It is.
