BP monitor device is a devices that used to read the blood pressure in our body. I'm pretty sure that you already know what the function of BP device is. But, act like you don't really know okay. Please.

How to know if our BP is normal?

For a normal reading, your blood pressure needs to show a top number that's between 90 and 120, and a bottom number that's between 60 and 80. When both your systolic and diastolic numbers are in these ranges, you're considered by the American Heart Association (AHA) to be within the normal range for blood pressure.

What is systolic and diastolic?

When your heart beats, it contracts and pushes blood through the arteries to the rest of your body. This force creates pressure on the arteries. This is called systolic blood pressure.

The diastolic blood pressure number or the bottom number indicates the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats.

Steps to take BP using BP monitor devices.

1. Firstly, put the cuff at the patient's left hand. p/s: You can also use the right hand, but since left hand closer to the heart, you will get more accurate reading (according to the SN who teach me how to use the devices) 

2. Next, push the fourth button at the monitor and the cuff will be pump. ( The device my be different cause there are variety of BP monitor used by the hospital or clinic) 
( If the cuff is loose, it will be shown at the monitor of the device and you need to tighten the cuff) 

3. Make sure your patient is relaxed and comfortable. Our blood pressure will rise temporarily if we feel anxious or uncomfortable. 
Don't frightening your patient okay. 


4. Make sure not to talk with your patient or keep the patient still and silent while taking the reading. Since moving and talking can affect the reading. 

5. Take two or three reading. The average of the reading will show more accurate reading. Don't be to lazy to take the reading three times, the machine will calculate it for you. You just need to jot down the reading. Remember, don't be to lazy okay. 

6. Record the BP of the patient in their Borang Rawatan because it will be use to suggest the suitable treatment for them. 

P/s: Patient with high BP will be asked to walk at the Terapi Alami garden for at least 20 minute to help them lower the BP reading. 
And after they finish their therapy, we need to record their BP once again to see if there any changes. 

I think it is enough for today. I have share some information about BP and share the normal range of BP with you. So! what is your BP reading? Mine was 103/ 69 yesterday. Make sure to check your BP if you always feel dizzy and take a good care of your health.

Do I look like a doctor wearing the white lab coat? Its actually a picture from yesterday when I was learned how to take the BP reading. Since today I can't get any help to take my picture while taking the reading, I share with you the picture from yesterday :). 

I will share different information tomorrow. So stay tuned!  Remember, your health is the top priority in your life.  

Adios!

Today I would like to share with you about physiotherapy.

Physiotherapy helps to restore movement and function when someone is affected by injury, illness or disability. It can also help to reduce your risk of injury or illness in the future. 

The warded patients in QLMC need to do physiotherapy every day after or before massage. There are five types of physiotherapy activities at the ward which are, hand and leg exercise, walking, sit and stand, and cycling. Each of the exercise need to be done at least 20 minutes, depends to the patients strength. Don’t force them if they feel tired, ask them to rest for a bit and then continue their exercise. For the patients that are unable to move, the therapist will help to assist them to do the exercise also known as manual therapy. 

Physiotherapy can improve the patient’s physical activity while helping to prevent further injuries. But, make sure to be extra careful when assist the patients to do physiotherapy since some of them unable to move without our help. 

There might be no problem with other exercise, but when it comes to walking, the therapist needs to be extra careful in order to prevent any incidents such as fall. Remember EXTRA CAREFUL. 

Since I already learn physiotherapy subject during fifth semester, there is no problem for me to understand the concept of physiotherapy. Thanks to En. Bob (En. Mohd Hafzal) cause teaching us physiotherapy theoretically and practically. 

Okay, I think it is enough for today padlet.

Adios! 

Let me share with you one of the picture of the patient doing physiotherapy (cycling) today with my assistance.

Today I want to write about the services and treatments offered by QLMC. QLMC offered traditional treatments for the patients in need. Since QLMC open in UKM few months ago, QLMC has more than a thousand of patients who receive treatments for variety of diseases and health problems.

Some of the patients who unable to walk before the treatments now can walk by themselves. This proved the effectiveness of the treatments offered here in QLMC. People not only come from Selangor or KL, but some of the customers willing to travel from other state to receive treatments here. 

Some of the regular customers come to get massage from the therapist and some of them come to QLMC for the first time after read about QLMC from the newspaper and suggested by their friends or relatives. Usually, full body massage will take one hour and also one hour and half. Some of the patients also come to get massage to relieve their body from pain and aches after a long day of working.

Not only offers treatments, QLMC also offer services to the customers which are ward facilities, day care service and ambulance services. Now, QLMC has 17 patients in the ward. The patients in the ward will also receive treatments such as massage, physiotherapy and therapy. 

Before this, I don’t really know about the effectiveness of traditional treatments. But, during my two weeks here, I can see the changes in patient’s condition day by day. I can see their happiness and gratefulness after receive a few treatments.

Dear readers, don't ever give up to find a cure for any diseases. Nowadays, the traditional medicine become famous because of the effectiveness in curing some problems that can't be cure with modern medicine. Not only traditional Malay medicine, there are also traditional Chinese medicine and Traditional Indian medicine. But, remember to make a wise decisions in selecting treatments or traditional medicine because there also a lot of irresponsible people who sell traditional medicine only to gain profit without even care the side effects. 

I think it is enough for today. I hope with all the information I shared in my padlet can give some knowledge to the readers. 

Good Bye! 

Below is the picture of Ustaz during diagnosing one of the patient at ward. 

It is first time for me working at medical centre and takes care of the patients. The first thing I need to know was the patient’s diseases, disability, behaviour and many more. At first I was so awkward with the patients since I never taking care the old folks before. But, as the time flies, I became close with them and treat them like my own grandparent. I hope with my little help, I can bring happiness in their life. 

Next is, I meet a lot of people with different diseases and different behaviours. Some of them is very friendly and ask me so many questions but some of the patients act arrogantly. I do believe in ‘karma’. We treat others nicely and vice versa. Please always treat others nicely even when you don’t even know them. 

Other than that, I can see that in the modern days, traditional medicine still can gain trust form the people in need. Actually, there is a huge business opportunities in traditional medicine field if this traditional medicine treatments and herbs can get the certificate from government bodies. I hope one day, government can give certificate to traditional medicine practitioners so that they can expand their business to other region. 

Moreover, if you are willing to learn, you will gain more knowledge. Don’t put any excuses when your employer asks you to do something. Try to observe and learn something by yourself. Gain knowledge as much as you can at your workplace. It might be helpful to you someday. 

I think it is enough for my padlet today. I have meeting at 7 o’clock in the morning tomorrow so I want to sleep early. Huh! 

Adios! 

If you notice, instead of wrote what I’ve done every day, I wrote about what have I learn every day. Every day, I do the same job but I learn different new things. I’ve meet different people who suffers different diseases. 

Today I’ve meet a patient who suffer ‘Bell’s Palsy’. So today, I would like to share with you about ‘Bell’s Palsy’. 

What is Bell’s Palsy?

Bell’s Palsy is a paralysis or weakness of the muscles on one side of your face. Damage to the facial nerve that controls muscles on one side of the face causes that side of your face to droop. The nerve damages may also affect your sense of taste and how you make tears and saliva. This condition comes suddenly, often overnight, and usually gets better on its own within a few weeks. Bell’s Palsy is not the result of a stroke or TIA. 

What causes Bell’s Palsy?

The cause of Bell’s Palsy is not clear. Most cases are thought to be caused by the herpes virus that causes cold sores. In most cases of Bell’s Palsy, the nerve that controls muscles on one sides of the face is damaged by inflammation. 

What are the symptoms?

·         Sudden weakness or paralysis on one side of your face that causes it to droop. This is the main symptom. It may make it hard for you to close your eye on that side of your face. 

·         Drooling.

·         Eye problems, such as excessive tearing or a dry eye.

·         Eye problems, such as excessive tearing or a dry eye.

·         Loss of ability to taste.

·         Pain in or behind your ear.

·         Numbness in the affected side of your face.

·         Increased sensitivity to sound. 

Treatments suggested in QLMC. 

·         Massage on the face area.

·         Bekam Lintah.

·         Therapy. 

After a week receive treatments in QLMC, the patient seem to get better. Compare to the first day she visited QLMC, she now can put a smile in her face again. 

I’m happy for the patients who slowly recover after get treatments here in QLMC. There is always a second chance in life. 

I think it is enough for today. 

Adios! 

So today I wanted to share with you the important of family supports to the patients. 

Most of the patients in QLMC (ward) aged 60 years old and above have different background and different sickness. Some of them warded in QLMC for a long time and some of them only warded for a few days only. There is no problem with patients who warded for a few days only. But some of them seem to be left here in QLMC and their child rarely visits their mother or father in the ward. The saddest part is when they keep asking when their children will visit them. 

Although some of them was senile, but they still remember their children’s name. They frequently asked me when will their children come, I just can say they will come when they are free. 

Moral support is actually the most important ingredient in the process of recovery of the patients. Moral support from their children or relative can lift up their spirit to get better day by day. Without a good support, they will feel left out and neglected. They spirit to recover will slowly fade away. 

So, if any of your family members suffer chronic diseases, make sure to give moral support to them and fight along with them. This is because they need our support in their toughest time in life.

Adios!

Almost a month since I started my internship here at QLMC. And I’ve learnt lots of thing and meet a lot of people. I started to love my job and the patients in the ward. Although it is quite tiring, but I have fun here with my friends. We have the chance to learn lots of thing.

Today, after finish doing our job at the ward, we arranging the file contain warded patient’s information. The file is quite messy and we have to arrange it by alphabetical order. We organise the file together with En. Fahmi. 

We take about three hour to arrange the file. I take out all the files from the drawer, categorise it by the first alphabet in their name. Some of the forms have been separate from the file and we need to find the file to put the form inside. It is quite tiring because there are a lot of files but we manage to finish our job before end of our shift. 

The files contain the information about the current patients in the ward and the patients who warded before. We arrange it by alphabetical order to make it easy for us to find the files in the future. 

So today I spend most of my time to arrange the files. 

So today I wanted to share about the activities in the ward. 

We have 17 beds in the ward. Currently all the bed is fully occupied. Today we have three new patients. 

Early in the morning, SN and therapist will help the patients to take a bath. 

SN will take the patient’s BP. 

Breakfast time!

The therapist will start to massage the patients in the ward. After finish massaging the patients, the SN and practical students will help the patients to do physiotherapy and Terapi Alami. I need to write the time of the treatments start and end. The massage treatments take an hour to finish massage the whole body and 30 minutes for reflexology. 

Ustaz will visit the patients to do some check-up.

Lunch. Some of the patients are unable to eat by themselves, so we need to feed them. 

Take the patients BP again. 

Tea time. 

Treatments for pm shift. Reflexology and therapy. 

Dinner. 

Check the BP again.

In the free time, we will use that time to key-in the data. We will take turns to have our lunch and dinner since we don’t have specific time for rest time. 

It’s Friday already. Day 19 of internship at QLMC. Almost a month since I’ve started my internship.  

So today I would like share about diabetes. Diabetes is the most common disease that affected people worldwide. 

What is diabetes? 

Diabetes is a lifelong condition that causes a person’s blood sugar level to become too high. 

There are two main types of diabetes:

Where the body’s immune system attacks and destroys the cells that produce insulin. 

Where the body doesn’t produce enough insulin or the body’s cells don’t react to insulin. 

Type 2 diabetes is more common than type 1. During pregnancy, some women have such high levels of blood glucose that their body is unable to produce enough insulin to absorb it all. This is known as gestational diabetes. 

·         Feeling very thirsty. 

·         Urinating more frequently than usual, particularly at night.

·         Feeling very tired. 

·         Weight loss and loss of muscle bulk.

·         Itching around the penis or vagina, or frequent episodes of thrush.

·         Cuts or wounds that heal slowly.

·         Blurred vision.

·         The amount of sugar in the blood is controlled by a hormone called insulin, which is produced by blood and into cells, where it’s broken down to produce energy. 

·         When food is digested and enters your bloodstream, insulin moves glucose out of the blood and into cells, where it’s broken down to produce energy.

·         However, if you have diabetes, your body is unable to break down glucose into energy. This is because there’s either not enough insulin to move the glucose, or the insulin produced doesn’t work properly. 

·         Although there are no lifestyle changes you can make to lower your risk of type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes is often linked to being overweight. 

·         Between 4.0 to 6.0 mmol/L when fasting.

·         Up to 7.8 mmol/L 2 hours after eating.

·         Before meals 4 to 7 mmol/L 

·         After meals 9mmol/L (type 2) 

Today I learn how to test blood sugar level using blood glucose meter. We can check our blood glucose level using the device. Thanks to fatihah cause willing to be my first patient. I was so afraid to prick her fingertip but manage to do it somehow. What a brave girl. Bravo! (clap hands).

 

En. Ahmad. 

Stroke left side of his body. Before this he cannot move and stand on his own, but now he can stand and move his hand and finger a bit. He seems so happy with his improvement day by day. He will be discharged next week. 

It’s good to know that they have lots of improvement after receive treatments in QLMC. Although some of people might see it as a small improvement, but to the patients it’s a miracle for them. 

Every day, the therapist will massage the patients in the morning and evening. After massage, the patients need to do physiotherapy which is cycling, hand exercise, leg exercise and walking. This will help the patients to slowly recover until they will be able to walk again.

En. Jefree

En. Jefree also suffer stroke on his left side of his body. At first, En. Jefree unable to move and using ryles tube because he was unable to eat normal food. He also cannot talk. But now he can sit, talk and eat normal food. Although he cannot walk, but still he improve a lot and seem to get better. 

Okay that's all for today. I will share more about the patients that now recover after getting treatment here in QLMC. 

About my lateness to update my padlet, it is because I have no data. I had no money because my I haven't receive my scholarship yet. 

Adios

The severity of seizures can differ from person to person. Some people simply experience an odd feeling with no loss of awareness, or may have a "trance-like" state for a few seconds or minutes, while others lose consciousness and have convulsions (uncontrollable shaking of the body).

Some people may only have a single seizure at some point during their life. If they do not have a high risk of having further seizures, they would not be regarded as having epilepsy.

Causes of epilepsy.

For many people with epilepsy, seizures can occur without any obvious trigger. However, certain circumstances or the use of certain substances can sometimes precede a seizure. These include:

About my lateness to update my padlet, it is because I have no data. I had no money because my I haven't receive my scholarship yet.

It's also known as a prolapsed or herniated disc.

A slipped disc can cause back pain and neck pain. Other typical symptoms are numbness, a tingling sensation and weakness in other areas of the body.

The sciatic nerve is often affected in cases of slipped disc. It's the longest nerve in the body and runs from the back of the pelvis, through the buttocks, and down both legs to the feet.

If pressure is placed on the sciatic nerve (sciatica), it can cause mild to severe pain in the leg, hip or buttocks.

Not all slipped discs cause symptoms such as pain, weakness or tingling. Many people will go their whole life not knowing they have slipped a disc.

What causes a slipped disc?

A slipped disc occurs when the circle of connective tissue surrounding the disc breaks down, allowing the soft, inner gel-like part of the disc to bulge out.

The damaged disc can put pressure on the whole spinal cord or on a single nerve root, where a nerve leaves the spinal cord.

This means a slipped disc can cause pain in the area of the protruding disc and also in the area of the body controlled by the nerve that the disc is pressing on.

It's not always clear what causes a disc to break down, but age is a common factor in many cases.

As you get older, your spinal discs start to lose their water content, making them less flexible and more likely to split (rupture).

Smoking can also be associated with a slipped disc because it causes the discs to lose their natural flexibility.

Other factors that can put increased pressure and strain on your spine include:

These situations can weaken the disc tissue and sometimes lead to a slipped disc. 

Adios!

Pain in the lower back (lumbago) is particularly common, although it can be felt anywhere along the spine – from the neck down to the hips.

In most cases the pain isn't caused by anything serious and will usually get better over time.

There are things you can do to help relieve it. But sometimes the pain can last a long time or keep coming back.

How to relieve back pain

The following tips may help reduce your backache and speed up your recovery:

Although it can be difficult, it helps if you stay optimistic and recognise that your pain should get better, as people who manage to stay positive despite their pain tend to recover quicker.

We also suggested to massage the patients if they suffer back pain. 
The pain can be relieved after massage.

On the morning we will make sure the therapist massage the patients. The time and type of massages should be jot down. For reflexology it will take 30 minutes to finish and for whole body massage it will take an hour. After finish massage, we assist the patients to do physiotherapy such as cycling, hand exercise, walking, sit and stand and walking at Terapi Alami. At 12pm, we provided lunch to the patients. We proceed to take their BP reading. At the evening, the patients will be massages once again to make sure their muscle will not stiff. They will have tea time at four o’clock and dinner at 7 o’clock. At night, we let them rest or watching television until they fall asleep. 

At the front desk we just have to key in the customers information, assist Ustaz while he do medical check-up. Although it seem like a simple job, but acing customers is not that easy. We need to be patient even when we were scolded by the customers. 

I already write this in my padlet before. So that was my duty every single day. That’s why I prefer to wrote information about diseases instead of wrote my job. 

If I learn something new, I’ll definitely share with you guys. So, stay tuned okay. Thank you and Good Bye.

By the time we finish jog around the park, the aerobic team started to do some preparation and lots of people start to gather around. We spend about an hour at the park before headed back to QLMC. But before that we stop at the ‘pasar pagi’ to buy some food for breakfast. 

We have so much fun together. After a month here we have the chance to go out and do some activities. I hope we will have the chance to do lots of activities soon. 

At the evening, we work as usual. We usually have lots customers on weekend. And today our last customer arrived at 11pm and I finish my shift at 11.20pm. 

Our happy faces after done aerobic and jog at Taman Tasik Cempaka.  

We arrive at Taman Tasik Cempaka at 7 50 am and the aerobic was about to start. My friend and I join the aerobic for about half an hour and then we decided to jog around the lake. There are lots of people jog and join the aerobic at the lake. It’s good that people nowadays realise the importance of exercising.After that we go to pasar pagi to buy some food for breakfast before working.  

As usual, weekend is always been so busy because we have lots of customers. Some of them already booked their slots but some of the customers just walk-in. It’s good to hear that some of the customers know this medical centre from their relatives and friends. Some of the customers also bring their family and friends to receive treatments in QLMC. Mouth to mouth promotion is sure the best marketing strategies because we able to deliver information based on our own experience.

The Origin of Traditional Malay Medicine:

Some believe it is started when the birth of the child of Prophet Adam. 

In Traditional Malay Medicine, we believe that human are made of 5 elements which are water, fire (blood), wind, soil (body itself) and also spirit. 

Diagnose disease using Traditional ways:

-          Based on the time, date, months.

-          The date of birth.

-          Name (total letter in the name)

Determine body heat (body temperature):

-          Betel Leaf:  The leaf is put at the armpit to determine the body temperature. This is because the betel leaf is sensitive to the heat. It will wither and the colour of the leaves turns brown to blackish colour. 

-          Cotton: Damp the cotton in the water and then put the damp cotton at the nostril or at the ear. 

-          Blood: Count the pulse. If the pulse is fast, our body temperature is high. 

Severe hypoglycemia is when your blood glucose level becomes so low that you’re unable to treat yourself and need help from another person. Severe hypoglycemia is dangerous and needs to be treated right away. This condition is more common in people with type 1 diabetes.

Symptoms:

QLMC use new papers as a medium to promote their business to community. Promotion through new papers is actually brings more good because people are more likely to believe news and mouth- to-mouth promotions. QLMC use Harian Metro as a medium to promote their business and introduce their business to citizens. Lots of people visited QLMC after read the news about QLMC in the new papers of Harian Metro. 

Not only advertisements, testimony is also important for a business to gain trust from customers. We need to share the testimony from our customers after receive treatments in QLMC especially for the warded patients. This is important to gain trust from the customers. 

I think that’s all for today, I will continue to share more information tomorrow. 

Now we still search the suitable company to send them a letter to inform them that we offer lots of services in QLMC. We hope we will be able to attract the company and make them promote our business to their workers. We wanted to be well-known not only in Selangor area but all over Malaysia. Not only that, we also hope that we will be able to help people with health problem to be healed. 

 I don’t know if my herb ‘Mahkota Dewa’ will bear fruits before I finish my internship at QLMC. Mahkota Dewa can grow 1 to 2.5 meters. I hope it will bear fruits soon!!

Today is my turn at the ward. After they finish their lunch, I proceed to take their Blood Pressure and ask their improvements day by day. It’s good to hear that most of our patients have some improvements after warded for a few days and receive treatments. 

Swelling in the legs caused by a blockage in the lymphatic system, or an inherited condition. 

The lymphatic system consists of a series of lymph nodes (glands) connected by a network of vessels (lymphatics), similar to blood vessels. 

Fluid surrounding body tissues usually drains into nearby lymph vessels so it can be transported back into the blood. However, if the lymph vessels are blocked, the fluid can’t be reabsorbed and will build up in the tissue. 

Unlike oedema, lympoedema is a long-term condition that can cause discomfort, pain and loss of mobility. 

It can be cured, but it can be controlled using number of treatments. 

The symptoms of lymphoedema can be clearly seen. Based on my observation, the symptoms are:

1. Difficulty with movement due to swelling.

2. Hard, tight skin. 

3. Folds developing in the skin.

4. Wart-like growths developing on the skin.

5. Fluid leaking through the skin. 

Mr. Abu the patient who suffer lymphoedema for about a year. He told us that sometimes there is blood leaking from his skin. 

After treatment using leeches, his foot looks better than before. We can see clearly his fingertips turn to normal skin colour compare to before treatments his foot was black colour. He has problem to walk properly due to his swelling foot. 

His leg is swollen start from his knee. He also cannot drink more than a cup of water a day. 

As we can see clearly, his feet and ankle are swollen. This is one of the symptoms of CKD. 

Causes: 

1. High blood pressure. 

2. Diabetes.

3. High cholesterol.

4. Kidney infections.

5. Kidney inflammation (glomerulonephritis).

6. Polycystic kidney disease.

Below as we can see in the picture, his leg is swollen. 

Reflexology is a non-intrusive complementary health therapy, based on the theory that different points on the feet, lower leg, hands, face or ears correspond with different areas of the body.

Reflexology is a therapy which can be received by anyone at any age, from new born babies to those receiving end of life care, and everyone in between. However, there may occasionally be times when it is not suitable to provide a treatment.

Gout is a type of arthritis in which small crystals form inside and around the joints. It causes sudden attacks of severe pain and swelling. Gout can be extremely painful and debilitating, but treatments are available to help relieve the symptoms and prevent further attacks.

1. Severe pain.

2. The joint feeling hot and very tender.

3. Swelling in and around the affected joint. 

4. red, shiny skin over the affected joint. 

1. Build-up of substances called uric acid in the blood. If you produce to much uric acid on or your kidney don’t filter enough out, it can build up and can cause tiny sharp crystals to form in and around the joints. These crystals can cause the joints to become inflamed cred and swollen and painful. 

2. Obesity, high blood pressure/diabetes.

3. Having close relative with gout. 

4. Kidney problems.

5. Eating foods that can cause a build-up of uric acid(red meat, seafood).

6. Drinking too much beer. 

Today we learn how to diagnose the patients by touching their foot. There are points at our foot which are connected with our body parts or organ. We can diagnose the problem suffer by the patients by put a little bit pressure at certain point and the painful feeling felt by the patients can told us that he/she had problem at certain parts of his/her body. 

We will learn more how to diagnose patients in our next class. We only two months left before finish internships and we still have lots to learn. 

After finish our class, we work as usual. 

In the morning, the treatment is whole body massage which takes one hour and one the evening the treatment is reflexology which take 45 minutes. We need to record the time to make sure that the therapist followed the time for the massages. 

Other than that, we also recorded other treatments such as physiotherapy and ‘bekam lintah’. For patients who unable to do physiotherapy, we sit them on the wheelchair and bring them outside.

So today is the last day of March. Lots of thing happened in this past two months and I’ve learn a lot too.

What should I share today? 

So today I would like to share about the improvements of our patients. The most amazing thing is, our patients name En. Zainuddin and En. Nazir now can walk. After a few weeks warded they finally can walk again. I was so happy for them. I would like to interview both when I have suitable time and also with their permission to.

Although we help them with the treatments every single day on the morning and evening, but it’s up to the willingness of the patients to get better. Some of them have the will and really hard working in doing therapy and walking and the result is marvellous. They can walk again after a few weeks. Without their willingness, they will not be able to recover quickly. Because we need to have the will to do something. 

I think I’m will miss this place after I left. I’ve learn so much here, not only learned to adapt with working environments, I’ve also learn about life. What we have today, might not be ours tomorrow. Appreciate every single day of our life, every single time we use both of our legs, our hands. We might loss this someday as we grow old.

Help people with all your heart. Because we might need others help someday. I was so grateful that I had this opportunity to help people in need while doing my internship. I was given this huge opportunity to learn and at the same time to help others. My small favours might be a huge one for them. 

I have lots of doubt at first, before starting my internship. Because most of our seniors said that they only do small work such as Photostat or printing all the documents and only sit at the office doing nothing all day long. I think I’m lucky then.

Million thanks to QLMC. Give this huge opportunity for me to learn.

Arrange the booking table is actually the most difficult things to do. And things will get more difficult when we have walk-in customers. But we have to do the best for our customers to make sure they have the opportunity to get treatments.

Today we have guest from Bahagian Keselamatan UKM. I don’t really sure the exact amount of the guest but I’m pretty sure there are about 30 people. They actually wanted to know about Qalam Laduni.

Actually their office is near Qalam Laduni and that’s why there are curios because sometimes lots of people come to Qalam Laduni. 

Some of them already know the existence of QLMC and frequently visit to receive treatments. 

They arrive at QLMC at 9.30 am. After finish introduced QLMC to them, we bring them to Terapi Alami. Some of them wanted to check their blood pressure first before walk at Terapi Alami. 

They seem so excited with our services. 

Reactivation of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) that has remained dormant within dorsal root ganglia, often for decades after the patient’s initial exposure to the virus in the form of varicella (chickenpox, results in herpes (shingles). Although it is usually a self-limited dermatomal rash with pain, herpes zoster (shingles). Although it is usually a self-limited dermatomal rash with pain, herpes zoster can be far more serious; in addition, acute cases often lead to postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) and is responsible for a significant economic burden. 

Today I’ve meet with a patient who suffers herpes zoster (kayap). So I wanted to share a little bit about herpes zoster. 

So today we have cupping class with En. Fahmi.

Our class started at 8.30 in the morning. En. Fahmi told us to go at Terapi Alami. He then show up with golf beg. What?? We in our cupping class and what with the golf beg. Are you being serious? Can someone please help me relate this situation? That’s was my thought at first. I’m sorry if you reading this En. Fahmi. Haha! 

He then take out 6 golf balls and give one ball to each person. He then pointed Farhana as the leader. So, our first task is make a round and we need to pass all the balls to the last person with the condition everyone need to touch all the balls. He gave us 5 seconds. We complete the task in 5 seconds and receive the next task which is passing all the balls through everyone in 2 seconds. Wait! What? Two seconds. Are you serious, again? But we actually manage to complete the task. Yeay! How we manage the task will be our secret. Haha! So the moral of the story.. he wanted to show us how we make decisions and how we solve problems in a short time. Fuh! 

Done with the golf balls. Then he gave us the next task. He gave us a questions paper. We need to complete all the questions in two minutes. Again En. Fahmi? Huh! Without any hesitations, we start to answers all the questions. And again?? What’s with the questions huh? It almost two minutes when I read the last question, and guess what?? It stated that, answer only questions number 1 and 2! I’ve answer all the 23 questions with all my heart! Haha! Gotcha! 

So what is the moral of the story? And is he actually tried to teach us? Can you guess, cause I don’t want to give the answers. Haha! 

Okay next! He told us a little bit about cupping. Where is the origin of cupping and why we need to do cupping. I think I will tell more in our next class. 

Adios! 

Usually customers only come to receive treatments. And guess what? Today I’ve meet with one of our customers who gave her opinion to me about QLMC. She is actually our regular customers. While waiting her husband to pick her up, she started our conversation. At first she asked about us, how long have we works at QLMC and asked us about our course. Then she started to talk about customer services. Customer service is the most important thing in a business because customer’s satisfaction is our main goal. 

And guess what? She also said that mouth-to-mouth promotion is the most important thing. Yes! I’m agreed with her. I’ve share about this type of promotions earlier. She told me that she know about QLMC from her friend. She wanted to try the alternatives treatments because she actually suffers mild stroke. Besides the modern medicine, she wanted also wanted to try alternatives medicine to treat herself. 

She also loves the environments at QLMC. The trees, golf field and the fresh air far from bustling city make her calmer and relax. Yes! That’s true! The location of QLMC is actually strategic for a medical centre. Although it’s not in the middle of the city, but it’s actually the environment is suitable for the warded patients and also for the customers. 

It’s great to have opinion from our patients. 

Then Ustaz came for daily morning check-up for the patients. We started with the male patient then move to female patient. After done check-up, we started assist the patients to do physiotherapy which are cycling, hand exercise and some of them who are unable to move both hand and feet are being seated. 

Lunch is ready right after we finish with physiotherapy. While waiting the lunch being served, we help the patients to sit on wheelchair. Some of the patients unable to eat by themselves so we need to feed them. 

Right after I finish feed En. Hamdan when suddenly I saw Staff nurse rushing to one of our patient. She told me to take SPO² device at the desk and I immediately pass it to her. When she put the devices at the patient’s finger, I saw her SPO² reading was 70 below. The normal SPO² reading is 95% above. I’ve started to panic when the staff nurse asked me to call En. Fahmi. He is ready with ambulance to take the patient to the hospital. They go to the hospital immediately along with the patient’s daughter. My friend and I were left to keep an eye on other patients in the ward.

We proceed to do our job, recorded the patient’s blood pressure. It almost 3pm and we call other staff nurse to help us with feeding. Luckily they came and help us with the feeding and change the diapers. 

Sadly, the patient died at the hospital due to heart attack. 

Mariam warded to hospital due to SPO² low. Since morning our staff nurse monitored Mariam’s condition because her unstable SPO². Sometimes her SPO² was normal but then it suddenly dropped to 80 something. 

After receive permissions from her family, our staff nurse bring her to the hospital. Luckily she is okay. 

Actually we already asked her family to bring her to the hospital few days before that, but her family told us to wait. I don’t know what’s wrong with them. As if the death can wait. 

She vomited frequently. The staff nurse asked her family again whether the dosage of her milk is correct. And what shocking us the most is her daughter gave us the wrong dosage of milk. Guess what her excuse is? ‘I add the dosage myself, double the dosage prescribe by the doctor’. I don’t know what her problem is but that could bring harm to her mother. Added the dosage of the milk can cause the milk to enter her lungs due to overloaded milk. 

Fuh!! 

Luckily she is okay now. 

Aida age … Suffers stroke on left side of her body for one year and three month. She can walk but with help. She actually still a young women compare to other patients. 

Ruslan age … also suffers left stroke, hypertension, leg oedema and diabetes. He can walk but with help due to his unstable leg. It’s quite difficult to communicate with him cause he quite all the time and barely talk. 

Some people believe that pregnant women can’t be massage. But actually pregnant women can get a massage but with the correct ways. There are three points that cannot be massages located at our foot.

Pregnancy massages can help the mother to feel relaxed. Massage relieves many of the normal discomforts experienced during pregnancy, such as backaches, stiff neck, leg cramps, headaches or swelling.

In addition, massage for pregnant women reduces stress on weight bearing joints, encourages blood and lymph circulation, helps to relax nervous tension which aids in better sleep and can help relieve depression or anxiety caused by hormonal changes. 

So, pregnant women can actually get prenatal massage. 

Benefits of prenatal massage:

Five elements in order to keep balance in our body:

Ø  Metal 

Ø  Water 

Ø  Soil 

Ø  Woods

Ø  Fire 

I think I’ve shared a lot of information, my job and task. I’ve read other student’s padlet and they make it so simple. Just a few points and they wrote the same thing every single day. But it’s okay, for me internship is learning process in workplace or in real working environment. That’s why I’ve decided to wrote what my job is and at the same time what I had learn here. 

I’ve share lots of information to my reader(s) and I hope some of information I’ve share can help them in many ways.

So, what’s new today?

En. Zainuddin finally wanted to walk again after a week he stop walking. He slowly stands up while holding a wheelchair and walk slowly step by step. I was so excited because before this he refuses to walk when we ask him to do some therapy. I taught that he might feel uncomfortable anywhere but he seem fine. It’s good to see him walk again. 

What I’ve done today?

Today I’m on my evening shift and as usual at the evening we need to record and monitors the therapist massaging the patients.

My friend and I arrange the BHD to keep it inside the files. Some of the patients already had their own files and for the new patients, I need to take a new file for them. Although we have all the information in the system, but we need to kept all the record in case if something happen. 

I think it’s enough for today. 

Adios! 

This is our main weaknesses. Lead time. We have to make our customers wait and ask our therapist to work non-stop. I hope new therapist will be hired soon since the demand is quit high lately. 

Weekends will never be an easy days for us. 

Definition 2: An old-fashioned term for a psychological disorder characterized by conversion of psychological stress into physical symptoms (somatization) or a change in self-awareness (such as a fugue state or selective amnesia).

Relate with supernatural disturbance such as seeing black figure or women with long hair or many other things. When we speak about hysteria, people will automatically relate it with seeing ghost or the ghost/spirit enter our body. 

There is a case in Kelantan where a school had been closed for few days due to the students and the teacher hysteria after seeing black figure wandering around their school. 

Sometimes hysteria also affected universities students. Some of the scholars relate hysteria with stress or psychological disorder. And some of citizens relate it with when a human in a very weak state (lemah semangat), spirit can easily entered their body. 

Whatever the causes of hysteria, hysteria can be harmful if the person holding a weapon or something that can be harmful to themselves or to others. 

Hysteria usually treated with religious way. We must calm down the person who affected with hysteria.

Today as promise, our supervisors En. Fahmi bring us to Saga Hill located at Ampang. Saga Hill is one of the famous hiking spots in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur. We arrived at Taman Saga around 8 o’clock because the maps show us the wrong way. We started to hike and take one hour to reach the peak of Saga Hill. On the top of the hill, a gym facilities is provided and a few hammocks, table and chairs. People can rest before going back or going further to the waterfall. 

After rest a few minutes, we continue our journey to the waterfall. Actually we ask a few people that we meet along the trek asking them how far the waterfall from our location. One of the hikers told us that it only take 20 to 40 minutes to the waterfall. Without wasting time, we start to hike to the waterfall. It takes 40 minutes to arrive to the waterfall. The waterfall is not as big as I imagine but the water is so cold. 

We rest for about an hour before decided to going back because my friend and I have to go to work at 4pm. We only take one hour downhill. Its rain heavily right after we enter the car. 

We arrive at QLMC around 3 o’clock. Tired but worth it. 

Two different situation that need patience. 

This new patient admitted for 4 days only. She is okay but not strong enough to walk by herself. But she suffered senile. Sometimes she’s crying because she wanted to change her diapers, but the SN already changed her diapers. She forget about it and she kept saying that everyone in the ward are so evil because doesn’t want to help her. 

She also forgot that she already take wuduk right after the SN help her wear her telekung. She crying because she claimed that she cannot perform her prayer without wuduk. But actually she has it.

In the morning, around 10 o’clock she will start asking for somebody to help her take her wuduk because she wanted to perform her prayer. When everyone told her that it’s only 10 in the morning, she will say that she already late to perform her maghrib prayer. 

Everyone was so patients attending her including the other patients that help us to make her calm. Before this she actually stayed at Nursing Home.

Today I meet one of the leukemia patient. His eyes are swollen, his left eye swollen bigger than the left eye. He suffers leukemia for years and chooses a traditional medicine to cure his illness. He refuse to do chemotherapy because he afraid it will affect his body. 

He had tried lots of traditional medicine and hope that ‘bekam lintah’ will help him to reduce the swollen. He also consumes traditional remedies instead of hospital medications. 

26 days left before we finish our internships. Today my friend and I kept the patient’s information for April inside their files. At the end of every month, we have to kept the information inside the files and create new invoice in the database. The information of the patients will be kept in database and in the files. In case we have problems with database, we still have the files. 

Since on weekend we only have a few patients left in the ward because most of them going back to their home, we have lots of time to do rearrange the files.  

Our last cupping class. Huhu.

So today, En. Fahmi showed us the demonstration of wet cupping. Thanks to En. Nizam, one of our patient willing to help us in our learning process. 

We start our class with introduction to the tools used for cupping. Then we proceed to the demonstration of the cupping. 

Steps:

1.      Make sure all our equipment for cupping is enough.

2.      Use swabs to clean the cupping point and then put the cup. 

3.      After finish placing the cups, open the cup and use a lancing device to pierce the point. Start in the middle, make a round until at the edge of the cup mark (mark left when the cups suck the skin). 

4.      Put the cup back at the point. We can see the blood coming out. 

5.      Repeat the steps till done placing all the cups. 

6.      Wait about 5 to 10 minutes until the blood start to clot (to make sure that when we open the cup, the blood will not dripping to other part. 

7.      Using gauze, wipe the blood at the patient’s body and in the cup. Repeat until done. 

8.      Place the cup at the point again to suck the remaining blood left at the points. 

9.      Then wipe the points with swabs to clean the blood. 

10.  Wipe the points with iodine and then done!

11.  Clean all the tools used and sterilize it. 

 

As usual, I go to work and do what I need to do. Today I work alone in the pm shift in my other two partners in am shift. Now we only have 3 female therapists and 4 male therapists. We need to carefully arrange the booking table to make sure that we can offer our service as usual in the same time we need to make sure that our therapists get enough rest before serving other customers. We have to make sure the quality of our services. 

 

23 days left until we finish our internship. I think I should start write the report and plan the video presentation that need to be submit later. 

Our lecturer will come to QLMC because one of my friends was chosen to be evaluated out of hundred students from our course. Although I know the lecturer will only evaluate her, but I also feel a little bit nervous. 

 But at the same time, I quite excited to have her visit us here as she can see our workplace. 

 

So again, today is my last pm shift for this week. Fuh!! Starting tomorrow I need to wake up early.

 

As my friend end their shift at 4pm, I continue to watch over the leeches that are still sucking one of our patient’s blood. Ergh!! 3 months in QLMC and honestly I’m still afraid with that blood sucking creatures. Yuksss. But I can do the leeches cupping by myself now but I’m still afraid to take the leeches in the jar because when it swam in the water I felt like it can be me and hold onto me tightly. 

 

But better than before, I can touch it now although I felt a little bit afraid (a little bit?? Huh). I hope I will have the courage to really touch it with my bare hands. Fuh!

 

Bertungku after giving birth is essential in Malay culture. Bertungku is important to remove or get rid of remaining/excess blood after giving birth, help to recuperate the uterus and help to recover the nerve near the uterus area. 

 

Bertungku is placing a warm stone (warp with leaves and towel) in certain part of the body especially around the uterus area. In Malay culture, we believe that “bertungku” can help to remove all the toxins in the body. The warm stone keep the body warm and produce sweat. 

 

Purpose of “bertungku”:

1.      Get rid of fat.

2.      Help the uterus to shrink to it normal condition.

3.      Help our body to turn back to its normal condition. 

Bertungku can be done by ourselves or with the help of professional or better known as “mak bidan”. “Bertungku” can be done after postnatal massages. I’ve share about postnatal massage before this. It is important to take a good care of our body after giving birth to avoid the long term effects such as soreness or pain all over the body after few months or years after giving birth. 

Steps of preparing the “tungku”/hot stone: 

1.      Heat a stone in a fireplace or stove.

2.      After get enough heat, place the stone on leaves and wrap it with a towel.

(Make sure the heat is suitable to avoid injuries).

Earlier in the morning, we have foreign customers who come to get a massage. He said he suffer pain in his left shoulder and wanted to get a massage. He is a post-doctoral student in UKM and a special forces and military under prime minister back in his home country, Iran. What a great chance to have foreign customers visited us because usually we only have local customers and a few of them are Chinese and Indians. 

He even told us to promote QLMC because some of the students are still not aware the existence of QLMC at Danau Golf UKM. My friend as him which place is the most strategic to promote QLMC. So he suggest to promote at place where there lots of athlete because he said that they really need a massages.  

 

Fuh! Waking up with an empty stomach is not really a good start. So I’m drinking Milo to gain some energy early in the morning. Breakfast is essential to provide some energy for us. Working with empty stomach is a bad idea. 

 

So today is Sunday and as usual we know that it will be a hectic day for us. We already prepared mentally and physically. Haha. Because there not so many customers in the morning, I’m helping staff nurse at the ward. After ustaz finish examining all the patients, we immediately start the treatments. 

 

We bring the patients to “terapi alami” and some of them need to do ant therapy. One of our patients need to do leeches cupping. At first, our therapist in charge of doing the leeches cupping but then she has booking. I then take over her place and continue to do the leeches cupping. Whattttt!!!!!!! I have to do it by myself since all the therapists were busy with their job. OMG!!!!! I’m still afraid to touch the leeches with my bare hands, so I use gloves. What if that blood sucking creatures bite me or walk (walk??? Or crawl or what so ever lah) on my hand?? I can die from shock. Grrrrrr!!

I need to do not only one but two of them (it). I I’m sooooo dead. Haha. 

 

So my first attempt to let the leeches suck the patient’s fingers. With shacking hand I tried to focus, praying that that little creature will bite quickly. After a few minutes, tadaaaaaaa! It finally enjoys the taste of the sweet and yummy bloods. Huahuahua. Okayyy next attempt…. I’m all aloneeeeee!!! Help help!!! While the first leech enjoying ‘his’ meal, I’m struggling with this one to let it bite the patient’s toe. 

Finally!!!!! I did it. 

 

Waiting the leeches to fall off is sure a long wait. Fuh! The blood is sure good huh?? I’ve wait for an hour and the first leech fall off while the other still enjoying his meal. Hey leech, I’m hungry too T,T. The leeches finally fall off. Yes!! Finally!! Erghhhhh. 

I’m free from leeches. After carefully dressing the leeches bite mark, I immediately go to the café to other something that I can drink. Fuh!! 

 

That’s all for today. Thank you for spending your precious time reading my novel-like padlet. Wakakakkaa. 

 

Adios!!

 

It’s okay because we can give more attention to patients in the ward. Today ustaz examine the patients in the ward and two of them need to do leeches cupping. My friend and I do the leeches cupping while the therapists massage and help the patients do physiotherapy. 

 

As usual the leeches cupping took one to two hour to be done and that was a long wait. I’m sooooo sleepy while waiting the leeches to fall off. They sure eat a lot. Look at the picture, the leech was so big but it won’t stop sucking the patient’s blood. We finish the treatments at almost two o’clock. I was so hungry because I skipped my breakfast. 

 

After lunch we start to check the patients BP and SPO². We separate our task to make our job easier. While my friends check the BP and SPO², I key-in all the data. After finish all the job we take a short break before our shift end.

 

Few days left. Huahuahua!!

 

We wanted to shows all task given by our supervisors so we recorded all task that we have done. We even interview one of our warded patients. I’m afraid 20 minutes will not enough for me. We have recorded all the treatments so the last thing that we have to do is record our presentation. 

 

Talking in front of the camera is not so easy. But video presentation is lot better than presentation through skype. We only need to upload our video and share the link. Fuh! 

Yesterday at 4 30 o’clock we take Uber and start our journey to Tadom Hills resort for a short break. We arrive at Tadom Hills Resort around 5 30 o’clock and check in at the reception. 

 

I was so amazed with the beautiful and uniqueness of the resort which 95% of the facilities was builds using bamboo. The tent, chalet, hut, chairs, tables and many more are made off bamboo. Good place to relax and chillin’ after a hectic day at work. 

 

We rented a hammock because it was the cheapest among all the facilities offered. There actually a hut but hammock sound more interesting then hut which are equipped with bed. You can swing in hammock. 

 

After take a stroll around the resort, we hang out by the lake side restaurant. We ordered English pies. Bonding time with my bff and enjoying the sunset. 

For dinner we ordered BBQ for 3pax cost Rm90. I gave 5 stars for the BBQ. With RM30 for each person we can enjoy lamb, chicken chop, grilled squid and sausage and grilled salmon, pasta, fruits and drinks. Recommended! 

 

We wake up early in the morning and having our breakfast. For breakfast they serve variety of food. Worth your money. At 9 o’clock they open the lake called Tadom Splash. Without wasting our time we quickly jump into the water after done with our breakfast. They provide bamboo raft and bamboo platform with the height of 5meter to jump. Since I have issues with height, I volunteer myself to record my friends jumped from the platform. Huahuahua. 

 

Play time over!! We checked out at 12 noon and Good Bye Tadom Hills! Great experience! Tadom Hills Resort checked! 

 

After done with morning massages, we bring the patients to do physiotherapy. We finish all jobs before lunch. While they prepare for lunch I help the patients to sit. Most of our patients are unable to sit by themselves. As usual, I help to feed the patients. 

 

I think that’s all for today. Nothing interesting to be shared with you guys. 

Adios! 

 

Today we have a short visit from PICOMS. 

The aim is to introduce QLMC to PICOMS and with hope PICOMS can send their students for practical. 

 

They arrived at QLMC on 11 in the morning. En. Hasbee on behalf of QLMC gives them a welcoming speech and thanks them for willing to make a visit to QLMC. After that Ustaz invite one of them to experience how Ustaz diagnose patients. After done diagnose, we bring them to take a short tour to our facilities. Then they move to Hotel Puri Pujangga for a short talk and lunch.

I hope there will be new practical students as soon as we left to help the sn at the ward. And I hope their management as good as us. Hahaha. 

 

On the evening, we work as usual. Fuhh!!

 

Today we have another programme which is Muzakarah. But I’m not involved with the programme because he claimed it is not proper for me to join since I’m free hair. So I was left to continue my work at QLMC. 

Our lecturers Madam Dalila and Sir Faezi came to join the Muzakarah. Before they go to the Muzakarah, they take a short tour at QLMC. After that they move to Danau Golf to join the Muzakarah.

 

There only a few customers since morning so I have nothing much to share. 

A picture with our lecturers, Madam Dalila and Sir Faezi. Saw lecturers. They came to QLMC for Muzakarah.

 

Around 7 o’clock, a walk-in customer came and wants to meet Ustaz. Because it’s her first time visit QLMC, I have to key-in her data in our database after date I checked her BP. 

 

There nothing interesting today since I was so sleepy. I don't know why, maybe I stay up late and woke up early in the morning. 
So I think I’ll stop today padlet here. 

Adios!! 

 

Deep inside, I felt so sad to left everyone in QLMC. Four months working together create a great memory. But four months away from home,hmmmm.. 

 

We work as usual. I remember back then, when we first came. We know nothing, but now we can handle lots of things. But still, we seek for advices when it comes to make an important decision. It was great when I can lessen the SN job at ward. Handling more than 10 patients is not an easy job. Some of the patients will call us every 5 minutes. Fuhhhh!! 

 

We have this one patient who kept calling us, day and night. He will ask us to help him move, drink, and lots more. He actually wanted some attention.

 

Actually I have no idea what to write in my padlet. Hmmm. 

Adios!!

I beat my own record, away from home for four months. Good girl. Huh! 

So today I’m on my morning shift. Again! 

 

What to write again!! Huhu. 

I’m not a good writer duhh!! And I have no idea what to write since I’ve wrote lots of things back then.(Really??) 

 

Counting days….. 

I can’t believe it, that I almost finish my internship, almost finish my degree life. 

UPSR, PMR, SPM, MATRIKS and DEGREE. Next?? Master of course. 

 

At the age of 23 years old, I’ve started to think about my future. Frankly speaking, I don’t even bother to think about it before. Haha. 

 

Opssss… remember Shazleen, this is not your diary. This is padlet. Haha. Sorry!

 

Around 3pm, my supervisor told us that one of our intern student taking leave (MC). She takes a sudden leave and I was too tired to continued working and double my shift. I wish that she tell us earlier and we can change our shift. 

 

Working is sure tiring compare to studying. We have to face different kind of people every single day. Huh! 

Day 108 of 110

 

Two days left until I finish my internship!! I’m sooooo excited.. Yeayhhhh.. 

I beat my own record, away from home for four months. Good girl. Huh! 

So today I’m on my morning shift. Again! 

 

What to write again!! Huhu. 

I’m not a good writer duhh!! And I have no idea what to write since I’ve wrote lots of things back then.(Really??) 

 

Counting days….. 

I can’t believe it, that I almost finish my internship, almost finish my degree life. 

UPSR, PMR, SPM, MATRIKS and DEGREE. Next?? Master of course. 

 

At the age of 23 years old, I’ve started to think about my future. Frankly speaking, I don’t even bother to think about it before. Haha. 

 

Opssss… remember Shazleen, this is not your diary. This is padlet. Haha. Sorry!

 

Around 3pm, my supervisor told us that one of our intern student taking leave (MC). She takes a sudden leave and I was too tired to continued working and double my shift. I wish that she tell us earlier and we can change our shift. 

 

Working is sure tiring compare to studying. We have to face different kind of people every single day. Huh! 

Yahoooooooo!! 

Officially finish my internship at Qalam Laduni Medical Centre. 

Million thanks to QLMC’s staff for their guidance in this four months of my internship. They teach me a lot, and I’ve learn a lot too. I’ve learn lots about traditional medicine and basic information to take care of sick patients and elderly.

 

It was a great opportunity to be part of QLMC staff although as an intern students. 

 I was so happy when our patients told us about their changes after receive treatments at QLMC. Some of the patients who unable to walk before now can walk with their two feet. 

 

Before this, at UMK, we only learn about TCM theoretically, but in QLMC we learn it practically. 

 

Thanks to the staff nurse for teaching us lots of medical information. Not to forget the practitioners who teach us lots of information about the massages. And lastly the management team who help us a lot. Thank You. 

 

Hope to see you guys later. Adios!!
