Please DONATION in MAHIDOL day

Prince Mahidol Adulyadej

statue of Prince Mahidol at Siriraj Hospital


“I don’t want you to be only a doctor but I also want you to be a MAN”

the quote of Prince Mahidol, the father of King Ananda Mahidol (Rama VIII) and King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX) of Thailand. He was also regarded as the father of modern medicine and public health of Thailand.

In order to appreciate his virtue and be grateful to him, 24th Sep (the dead day of Price) of every year is settled to be Mahidol day.

And this is a good opportunity for Mahidol students, especially Siriraj medical students, to be volunteers. All of the outcome of donation is determined thoroughly for only buying medical devices and using for a numerous poor patients in Siriraj hosptal, absolutely not including academic affair or research matter.

We, volunteers, are seperated to almost 30 lines in Bangkok and other provinces around Bangkok for asking donation (totally about 80 outgoing times). We must ask for donating house by house. It may be exhausting, some of people that didn’t know sometimes look down on us…. however we are always proud to be a part of this charity.
This volunteering work is not compulsory course however almost of all students participate in this job. Absolutely, I am a volunteer every year, used to be head of Bang-ka-pi line and this year I’m a medical student committee for Mahidol's day donation.

I suppose You can realize that this way is extremely beneficial not only for the poor patients but also Mahidol students. I think This is a brilliant method to instill student a good attitude of altruism, compassion and follow Prince mahidol’s teaching “the patients’ advantage must be considered first”

Moreover, as a volunteer, I got lots of valuable experience, the kindness of people impress me. Though some of them are very poor such as a beggar, pity elder man,..ect. are willing to sacrifice a little of their scant money for this charity because they trust in Siriraj Hospital and hope these little donation will be more advantage for someone….. it’s extremely impressing, isn’t it….,

Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

It seemed not any portent that I would be a doctor untill I had attended “wish been DOCTER”, the camp for high school students of Siriraj medical school, before entrance examination….

Likewise that time, I’ve just found out that I’m falling in love with enchanted PSYCHIATRY…. There is not any omen as well…

The 4th year medical student must pass department of psychiatry for 3 weeks, due to this department was my last one of my 4th year, this field has never been in my choices and I had somewhat disliked psychi because…..
- I wouldn’t like to work with insane patients,
- human thought was too complicated to understand
- my 3rd year score was very poor.

But in the 4th year, After studying psychiatry, I realized that it is one of interesting subjects. Moreover communication skill is important for therapists, you can realize that speech is only one confident and proud talent of mine… I love talking with the patients as well as my friends (when they face any problems and ask me for my advice). I am always happy if ones’ suffering are lessened after our conversation.

In order to explore myself… I applied for child and adolescent psychiatry, elective course in my last 2weeks vacation of my student life.
1 week pass rapidly… I suppose I’m falling in love psychiatry sincerely…

The way that professor approach the patients is different from other kind of specialists. They notice thoroughly verbal and non-verbal language, behavior, communication, social skill, cloth, the reaction of patient and patient’s family members, etc… , predict one’s personality and thinking. Specially they care of ones’ feeling, each speech sentence is produced careful and reasonable. Absolutely, I can apply this subject matter in my life to be a good mental health person as well as good communication skill.

In aspect of child psychiatrists, it’s no doubt that they must be excellent parents that bring up their children perfectly.
Dr. Wanpen, I can touch her warmth and think of my own mom and my granny when studied with her... she is my respected model and such a nice woman..
Dr. Suporn, another one of my model of child psychiatrist said that she had applied the theory for her own child and found out that though these methods are too difficult to continue all along (in thailand) but if parents are steady, these ways are very effective for child rearing… moreover she supposed she might not be able be a good child psychiatrist if she had never tried by herself (with her child).

Absolutely, I have never known what the right method of child rearing is… so do most of parents, I suppose. Child psychiatry department arrange weekly “Parent Training program”, and I had a chance to attend this activity last week, I realize that it’s extremely useful for everyone (not only for parents). The lesson consist of how to use “I” message to present one’s feeling directly that is better than “U” message or BLAMING which discourage listener’s feeling and useless way for behavior improving, including emotional reflection practice, the method to cease bad mood expression that result in arguing, etc.
In conclusion, this class was beneficial and I realize that I’m the one must practice these lesson as well.


By the way, Psychiatrists are extremely deficient; 400 general psychiatrists and only 100 child and adolescent psychiatrists in Thailand, on the other hand, I suppose you cannot imagine what a numerous psychiatric cases there are; including the admitted patient and psychiatric problems that are anticipated to solve.

Hopefully, I can be a good and excellent one same as my respected Professor in the future…
Wish my dream come true..

Pediatrics


Pediatrics is one of the busy and exhausting department for siriraj medical student...
Due to lots of task and my laziness, I’m far from writing any mail or updating my blog. However I still think of this classic way, writing blog can give me a chance to revise my daily story. ok i'll try to write my story as much as i can...

I’ve been in Anan building 4th floor for 5days ago, just today I have known n’ dance(TeamB, I’m in Team A), the well-known chronic disease girl that my friend usually told me about her behaviror, she is just a common girl that usually prefer to play with any male doctor other than female ones obviously... and i just got that experience today, she deny to play with me and call out keng, my wardmate to talk and play with her… I cannot believe what a 5-year-old flirtatious girl she is…. Hahaha

now I have 5 cases in my responsibility... arriving ward to progress them around 6.30am before morning ward round with resident and progress them again after my class in the afternoon before eveing ward round....
the new case just admitted yesterday and I hurried up to finish my pneumonia report last night(1.30am) … the case presentations are usually prepared so i'm quite busy and exhausted every now and then
moreover In pediatrics we, the medical students must be on overnight duty, that's the first time in my life

Being in Pediatrics department is somewhat exhausting however I usually proud to be a part of team and take care of my patient myself... that is such a nice feeling....
