What a wonderful week!

I t has been a wonderful week for me! my whole life was never like this before. I was asked to keep the secret of what happened, I promised it, so I won't be able to discuss thing in detail. Nevertheless, I wanna share good luck and feeling with everyone, wishing you all have something nice happen to you.
On top of that, my buddy Brian sent me "Ugly Betty season 2" DVD, he is such a sweet guy, caring and gentle. He remembered I bought "Ugly Betty season 1" when I was in his place early this year for his wedding. and he knew I just loved that TV show. It really cheers me up as he stated in his mail.
For those who haven't seen the show, go get it or rent it, it is available locally the season 1 with Mandarin subtitles.

God, thank you for everything!!

嚇出一身汗 scare hell of me!

早上洗澡脫衣時 鏡子裡看身體背後 突然發現屁股靠近菊花的地方 有一塊膚色變得很蒼白 非常顯著
“這是怎麼一回事?“
我實在是有點不太能相信。再仔細看一下,心裡越來越毛,
“不會吧,不是什麼squamous cell carcinoma?"
當醫師就是這個壞處,什麼不想,有問題馬上想到最可怕的鑑別診斷

洗完澡,躺在床上,翻來翻去,就是睡不著,一直在想那裡是怎麼一回事?想到皮膚科學弟蔡宗樺,上網查一下他的門診,有耶,就是現在早上。於是電腦掛號,下床衣服穿上,就搭捷運去亞東醫院。

學弟看過後,告訴我,不是什麼squamous cell cancer 。啊 我太高興了!
之後因為太久沒有看到學弟,又跟學弟寒暄ㄧ會兒,回到家已經是下午一點多了 。

趕快回到床上 一躺就睡著了 因為晚上又要上班 !就這樣過了一個嚇人的早上!

While I was undressing for shower, I noted a pale patch near my ass on the mirror, the lesion was so obvious. "What's going on here?"
I was hard to swallow this incidental finding, looking at the lesion, i just felt the whole thing scary and creepy.
No way... is it squamous cell carcinoma?
I guess the pitfall of being a doctor is always thinking the worse diagnosis.

After shower, lying on the bed, just couldn't help to think about this thing, a dermatologist colleague Tsai TH came to my mind. I checked his schedule on internet, and he had clinic hour this morning. I booked it right away, and jumped off the bed, got dressed and left home to hospital.

After evaluation, TH told me it was not squamous cell cancer.... I was so happy!
I chatted with TH for a while because we hadn't seen each other for a long time. When I got home, it was past one o'clock pm already.

I crushed on my bed and felt asleep right away. I had to work again tonight.
That's how I spent a terrified morning.

“心摟“是甚麼?大家來說台語 Let's speak Taiwanese

情境是這樣子的 在急診室裡 阿嬤因為腳指甲外翻很痛到醫院來

護理師: 阿嬤 花生沙瞇呆記?
阿嬤: 阿 低店裡氣歐心樓阿踏丟晶嘎......
護理師: 心摟阿?“心樓“四蝦瞇米ㄍㄧㄚ?

答案在留言裡

It was like this in my ED, a grandma came to hospital because she had a very painful nail injury.

RN: grandma, what happened to you?
Grandma: oh, I got kicked on my big toe by a worker in the store

....the fun part was that RN didn't understand "worker" in Taiwanese... and asked gnradma What is "worker" ....

我又回來這裡!I am back here!

三年後我又回來這裡了!因為朋友一直抱怨蘋果的網站很不友善、螢幕會當機、彩球一直跑、是沒錯 我也覺得很不可思議。。。。。

其實最近我對部落格是完全沒有在經營、偷懶的不行、去冰島的影片也被我冷凍中待處理。我到底是在忙什麼?

工作是都還老樣子、倒是認識了一些新朋友、ㄧ群很不錯的朋友。也遇上喜歡的人、不過沒有happy ever after結果、倒是對自己又多了解一些、知道我自己要甚麼、要如何去做。

就這樣了! 今天學會玩 plurk 很有趣!

I am back 3 years after I left here, it is because my friends all dislike my Apple's website, it is unfriendly, freezes the screen, and keeps the color ball spinning..... that's all true, i found it unbelievable as well............

The truth is I neglected totally my blog recently, being so so lazy, the travel film is frozen in my closet, what have I been doing these days?

Work is still the same, I got to make new friends, a group of good people. I also met someone that I liked but no happy-ever-after ending for us. I learned little more about myself, knowing what I want, how to approach it.

That's my briefing, I learned how to plurk today, it was fun!

部落格搬家的原因

其實也沒有什別的原因 新的站昰在法國設置的 速度也差不多 多了一些其他輔助工具 例如文章分類 可以上傳多媒體 相片音樂或影片 還有很有趣的瀏覽來源分析 可以給很多細節 例如 瀏覽者人數 瀏覽頁數 轉介來源網址 瀏覽器的使用

不過我想最吸引我的昰在正體中文首頁有我們的國旗 讓我感到很受尊重 也昰這樣讓我想給她捧場一下 有點難理解的理由的理由 試用一段期間發現還真是不錯 所以就決定轉台了

說台語 Speaking Taiwanese

前幾天 我用台語問病患 懶趴會痛嗎? 事後護士美眉覺得我的台語很俗又有力 又有一次 我跟他們說 小便的台語不是“燒便“ 那是北京台語翻譯產生的 台語沒有所謂的小便 正確就是說尿 “ㄧㄡ“ 用台語問大號正不正常 用“逮便“也是很典型北京台語直接翻譯的話 事實上“棒賽“才是正統的台語 美眉們覺得"ㄧㄡ“和“賽“很粗俗 其實我一點都不覺得 因為現在很少人這樣說 久而久之 就變成非主流不雅的用詞 他們真的俗 不雅嗎? 我覺得台語是很美麗的語言

另一個有趣且經典的就是 “大小便失禁“ 那台語要怎麼說ㄋ?謎底下次揭曉 有跟我上班的人都應該會聽過

Few days ago, I asked a patient if his ball hurts in Taiwanese, Later nurses told me it sounded vulgar & strong. Another occasion, I told nurses the right way to say urine in Taiwanese, and explained to them that a lots "Taiwanese" they say were not correct, because they were directly translated from madarin, like Madarin-Taiwanese. It is their feeling that some Taiwnaese words sound really low and vulgar, I don't agree. I think it is because we don't use them often enough. People are not used to them. I think Taiwanese is a beautiful language.

Another fun phrase is " bowel and urine incontinence", how to say it in Taiwanese? I will tell you next time, those who has been working with me recently probably heard me saying that already.

說台語產生的笑話 Taiwanese misunderstood

昨天有位護士美媚跟一位喘的阿媽用台語說 等一下要給你痔瘡的藥 你知道他要說什麼嗎?

其實他是要說 止喘 (機竄)不是痔瘡 (抵ㄘㄥ)北京台語說快一點真的會會錯意

Last night, a nurse told an elder patient who has trouble breathing in Taiwanese “I am gonna give you hemorrhoid med", Do you know what she really meant to say?

Actually, she meant "to improve breathing" not " hemorrhoid". When you speak Taiwanese with a madarin accent, it is easy to cause confusion.

Be a nice guy or a good guy? 當個好人或正直的人?

There is a fine line between a nice guy and a good guy? What am I? A nice guy or a good guy? Or I should rephrase the question, do I want to be a nice guy or a good guy?

I can think instantly a lots "good" reasons being a nice guy; people would love to hang out with you; people feel relax at your side; no hard time; no argument; no embarrassment; no criticism.

I can also think of some reasons for being a good guy: being fair; being responsible; being helpful. But there are downsides, people may see you hard and tough, not easy going and laughable sometimes.

I still don't have a definite answer yet; I pretty much act on my instinct, maybe more on good guy side. Sound like a bad choice. I remember Gigi told me once it was a bad choice but a right one.

So there is a fine line between them? I doubt it.

And I know I preach too much sometimes on residents, sorry guys! need to bear with me :)

這裡真的不好嗎? Is it really that bad? ¿Es tan malo aquí?

I had chance to talk few residents about few things , one that we talked about was not happy being in this department. This is not a new issue, I always have a slight different perspective. Residency is a training program, this is a very fundamental concept, so I think resident should be more concerned of if I am capable of, or well prepared to be an attending physician. I don't know how many of them really give a thought of that, such as that should I am able to handle a miscommunicated case, to make family and patients to be on our side, rather than be hostile and threatening. When a situation rises, most of residents will just assume senior physicians would take over and solve the problem. Few will try to step aside and learn how to deal with this issue. Residents like to complain they have long hours and not enough vacation. They are important issue but they should not be the only focuses in their minds. From another point of view, is it really that bad the hour here? Did they not have their vacation time? There is an old saying " Moon is rounder in foreign country than in hometown".
I am not defending the department policy, I am not the boss and I don't and can't make any policy neither. All I want to say is residents need to be more broad minded, look further with open view. A wise man sees issue from all different angles.

Anyway, this is all just my opinion. You don't need to feel the same way!

Tenía ocasión de hablar a los residentes sobre pocas cosas, Una de las cosas que hablamos fue no estar feliz en el departamento. Esto no es una nueva cosa, tengo siempre una alguna distinta perspectiva. La residencia es un programa de entrenamiento, esto es un concepto muy fundamental, así que pienso que el residente debe ser preocupado más de si soy capaz de, o ser preparado bien para ser médico. No sé cuántos de ellos realmente eatan pensando de eso, por ejemplo si puedo manejar el caso malo comunicado, para hacer que la familia y los pacientes estar en nuestro lado, más bien que sea hostil y amenazado. Cuando se encuentra una situación dificil, la mayoría de residentes apenas asumiran que los médicos mayores asumirían el control y solucionaran el problema, pocos residentes intentarán aprender cómo tratar de los problemas. Los residentes gustaria quejarse ellos tienen largases horas y no bastantes vacaciones. Son asuntos importante pero no deben ser los únicos focos en sus mentes. Desde otro punto de vista, ¿ es realmente tan malo la hora aquí? ¿No han tenido sus tiempos de las vacaciones? Hay un viejo refrán "luna es más redondo en país extranjero que en la ciudad natal". No estoy defendiendo la política del departamento, no soy el jefe y no puedo hacer ninguna política ni unos ni otros. Lo único que quiero decir es que los residentes debe haber mentes más amplios, mirada más lejos con la visión abierta. Un hombre sabe verá el problema de todos los diversos ángulos.

De todas formas, éste es todo apenas mi opinión. ¡Usted no necesita sentir la misma manera!
