Ethic camp

On my weekend after new year celebration, I had an opportunity to participate in ethic camp at Chon La Preug resort, Nakonnayok.

The camp consist of workshop, buzz group and scenario that activate us to consider about physician morality, conflict between doctors and other health care occupation who must work together, and also relationship between doctors and patients.

The patients that were broadcasted in mass media as the plaintiffs to sue doctors, were invited to clarified their information in media in their views and expressed opinion about current physician. Absolutely we could not change their negative thinking to doctors. However instead of quarrel and being enemy, we took this chance to understand our patients’ feelings more, their view reflected us what most of patients need from their doctors that not only medication but also compassion and good communication to clarify patients’ status.

Actually in my view, because of media, people misunderstand the truth and criticize doctors as the offenders. On the other hand, we, doctors portray a complainant as a devil to destroy us either.

Everyone usually need understanding, empathy and supporting especially from their doctors that they trust and salute to. Just open our hearts, we will find out that compassion and communication skill can protect ourselves perfectly. No one is offender or devil at all in many cases, but misunderstanding caused from bad communication, I suppose. We cannot treat them only medication, but also treat their feeling as well, love and care our patients as our beloved person, advice and educate them as well as patients’ relatives clearly, frequently and sincerely.

I believe that virtue is the strongest shield, though mistake occur, forgiveness will always follow for the good doctors absolutely.

Volunteered doctor in Ranong, Thailand

This is another activity that is my memorable time. My friends and I went to rural area in Ranong as volunteered doctors last year.

This was my first time as a 5th year medical student to take care and also prescribe for lots of patients without consulting and signing of my professor… OH MY GOD!! The patients will still be all right after visitting us??? ><

In order to be perfect in being a real doctor (without professor) first time, we must do homework much; reviewed common problems that anticipate to meet and also dose of medication as much as we could.

After finishing our class around 4-5pm friday, we hurried up to catch the bus that would depart from Bangkok around 6-7pm and take a whole night in non air conditioner bus about 8-9 hrs… Opps!! I could not deep sleep on the seat that could not lean down, so chatted with my partner and counted the stars until my friend feel sleepy. However due to lots of fatigue, finally I was unconscious and slept on uncomfortable seat. We arrived our destination around 4am and pave mats on the floor as line of troops without discriminating gender due to not enough area.

The morning started at 6am after we took a bath and had an excellent breakfast that was prepared by folks for us. Then we began our duty immediately by history taking, physical exam and prescribe for our patients.

And everything finished around 5pm with about 900 patients (10 doctors). Wow!!! It’s impossible… almost 100 people per one of us anyway I must be the most clumsy and service slowest of us, I supposed.

We ended up my exhausted day by traveling to view waterfall that is not far from our place, had another excellent meal (from people around there as well) and catch the bus going back siriraj to start our work on Sunday….

It’s such an impressed experience, I’m proud to make a little benefit to society though it’s not a big deal… but hopefully I’ll have some chance for this job again

Teenage pregnancy

This is my experience in 4th year to make a research in community hospital. Absolutely, this is one of compulsory programme for the 4th year to create 1 community research per 1 group. And I had a chance to go to Koa Yoi Hospital, 30 beds hospital in Pechburee.


The first day of us start at antepartum clinic, because we had never passed Obstetrics department before (5th year curriculum), we looked clumsy to approach patients and just followed the instruction of generous nurses.


After finishing the morning antepartum clinic, we met the administrator of the hospital and found out that he is specialized in Obstetrics. Wow! it’s no doubt that this small 30 beds community hospital is capable of ceasarean section including complication cases and there are lots of antepartum cases in ANC


In ANC we realized that most of pregnant are teenage, the data was inspected and we found out 46% of ANC pregnant is lower than 20 years old.


That is not a trouble?? Or they disregard . Almost of folk here haven’t thought teenage pregnancy is a trouble at all because it is too easy to find teenage pregnant in this society. In addition their mothers as well as their granny were teenage mother as well.


So we start and use this problem as my community research


The activity that impressed me much was workshop for elementary students; Prathom 5-6 about sex education. Due to the children are cooperative and the topic is interesting, everything was all right


The other subplan is visiting and approach night-working teenage girls. Their family problems and their background were not different from the character in soap opera. These life story teach me to open my eyes, be broad-minded and understand others more. However their lifestyle and vision could not be changed after 2 visits absolutely but hopefully my advice can give them more advantages, Give up smoking, have safe sex and return to have a school life again if it is possible.


Absolutely, I got such a memorable time for creating my first own research, managing intervention. Though it just a simple research that take only 1 month, I am very proud and got much advantage for this.

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….,

And these are example photos

this's a special occasion to ask for donation by BOAT (normally, travelling the by bus to destination and by foot for asking donate house by house) by medical student committee for Mahidol's day Donaiton .... it's such a nice experience!!
