End of my 4th Year Internal Medicine Posting🤓

Hi there ,

This posting have given me a breather from what is going to happen when I become a doctor one day , Insya Allah. Because Internal Medicine its the core of medicine, hence the name internal lol!

Just wanted to let you know , in 5th year Final Year,  2months is apply for this posting! whereas in 4th year is 1 month, it shows how much its needed before graduating. yikes! and 1 month in 4th year is too rushing to squeeze, but examiners dont ask management in detail because still 4th year students, so kinda fair.

So far , internal medicine covers all systems basically. thats the hard part, it covers from ECG readings, xray readings, fundoscopy ,and relatively all the small small numbers and units, and formulas, and plus all the diseaes known to human. From CNS to Bone Marrow.

So , for my long case i gotten :
Dengue with underlying heart disease ,

and i scored for the first time 88% !! what a breakthrough to be honest, basically i just got lucky for this one because my case was pretty dang common , my other colleagues gotten a much harder cases , from hepatic encephalopathy to ataxia , TIA and many more weird unread topics that i missed to read , that basically could have gotten me an F.


So then again, with this awesome gift from Allah , 88 % now its time for me to get an A for the first time in 4th year, Truthfully , me in 4th year its been hard , because somehow the things we learned from 3rd year is not the complete version * theroy wise , because 3rd year is just a warm up. 4th year when they did 1 month posting, its hell to cover a 2 months worth of knowledge. Thats the challenge and plus , examiners are much stricker , and 4th year students have to know how to manage and elicit in moderate detail of the disease pathophysiology and types, and management 2-4 will do with reasons why compared to square pants 3rd year.



OK! so today just want to blog because i just done with my Theory papers! and it was pretty challenging , i need more side reading when im free , because most of the time i watch online movies and going out with friends instead of studying 6 hours minimum.


well , the Theory paper was divided in to 12 Questions MCQ , 3 Short Assays and 3 OSCE.

12 Questions MCQ : Was moderate


3 SAQ :
Chronic Liver Disease
God i dont remember....


3 OSCE :
X-ray : TB with cavities and lost of weight findings
ECG : Atrial Fibrillation , i answered Ventricular Tachy Cardia
Picture of Pressure Sores : I answered horrendously weird


Anyways i hope it pans out!
