marsupialization

have you ever heard of that word?
yesterday in dr mahmood salem's class, he described about ovarian tumor.
one of the complications of an ovarian cyst or tumor is infection...
if the infected stuff adheres to the colon, it would be very difficult to remove it as the colon contains feces...(incase you accidentally cut the colon, the feces will spill all around the peritoneum...no no!)
so what surgeons would do is...marsupialization.

Marsupialization is the surgical technique of cutting a slit into a cyst and suturing the edges of the slit to form a continuous surface from the exterior to the interior of the cyst. Sutured in this fashion, the cyst remains open and can drain freely. This technique is used to treat a cyst when a single draining would not be effective and complete removal of the surrounding structure would not be desirable.
-from prof wikipedia

and in dr adel farouk's class yesterday's afternoon, he also mentioned marsupialization in treatment of bartholin's duct cyst

plus, dr adel added...marsupialization came from a latin word 'marsupial', which means pouch...
'zai kongga!"...
konnga?...wut's kongga?...
i googled it up...and found out it is a kangaroo...hehe...

and my search also led me to this very beautiful video...



subhanallah...can you imagine an embryo climbing up it's mother's belly?...like an actual embryo!...it's a fetus already if am not mistaken...but seriously...pinkish and almost lucent...
this world is magnificent!

why havn't i knew this information before?...god i can't believe it!
adeeq, if ever you are reading this...owh, please bring me back a kangaroo!...:D
*i'll make sure u'll read it anyway...hehe

natural is the best...

i must say, since i've been living in egypt these almost past 5 years, there's never a year past without me inflicted with a GIT upset...(tibe2 rase malu lak nk cakap sal topic nie...:p)

but anyway, what i really wanna forward here is the miracle of these stuffs...

marmariyah + kammoon + na3na3 (no. 3 represent letter 'ain in writing)
p/s: am not sure if these names are exactly correct, i spelled it out from my landlord's articulation...

owh, i dun remember if i've ever mentioned this before, but i've been very fortunate to have such a caring landlord...their whole family treated us like their own children...ustazah maha n ustaz moataz

every week i'll drop by her house as she teaches me how to recite the quran...and this week i came along with my upset stomach...and she began to question me (frankly, better than 'the doctor' taking my history)

bla bla bla...and i answered...bla bla bla...and she asked..."have you seen a doctor?"
"yup, they gave me panadol for my fever and antibiotic."
eih??? (what???) no no no, you need to drink something hot! ana haa'mil wahdah! (i'll make one!)
and she went into her kitchen

few minutes later, she came back with a cup of yellowish colored fluid...it perfumed the whole room...smells nice, but i still doubt the taste...

"take it while it's hot! this is good for stomachaches! or flu...or anything!" she instructed me

"hurm...fi sukkar?" (is there sugar in it?)

"aaa... aiyuwah fi, ana 'arif enti bihibbi sukkar!"...hehe (aaa...yup, i know you love sugar!)

"eih di?" (wut are these?) i asked, pointing at the cup

"dol?...marmariyah we kammoon we na3na3...ahsan min antibiotic!" (these are....---....they are better than antibiotic!)

(dis one i made at home...look how beautiful that flower like thing suspended in mid water...:D)

i took a sip...not bad...it tasted different but nice...herbal like~

"el marmariyah di min el arisyh, sahbiti tigibli!" (this marmariyah came from el arisyh, my friend brought it for me!")

ooo...i dunno what to reply next, basically because i lack of egyptians vocab...but...wow! from somewhere near Palestine?...kind of an honor isn't it?...
wish i'll have a chance to step foot there once...(dreaming~)
*i've been to el arisyh in july 2007...but just as far as 5 km i guess away from Gaza's borders...and then our bus drivers were hushed away by the guards...they were soldiers i guess, but i still regard them as guards...i mean...soldiers are people we look up to...not look down at...

anyway, after class...ustazah maha packed a plastic of those stuffs for me

"di...wahid ma'la'ah soghir ma'a kuub mayyah sukhna fi sobah, masyi?"
(this, one teaspoon in one cup of hot water in the morning, ok?) 
she prescribed to me with her hand gestures to make sure i understood...hehe

and alhamdulillah, the abdominal pain went away~...:D
unfortunately, i still don't know which food i ate wrong...huhu
el marmariyah we kammoon di, ma araftusy eih...(the marmariyah and kammoon, i dunno what it is)
walakin na3na3 is mint leaves...:)

*dr's hesham's party was marvelous!

cower behind his effort

as i stood up from the floor in dr hesham's final revision lecture this morning (the lecture hall was almost packed), farhana patted me and said

"May Allah bless dr hesham!...seriously!"...i smiled and added "Yup! he deserves better than bless!"

Dr Hesham with Rana not me...just after his lecture this morning...:D

(thanx for allowing me to post your picture Rana!)

since early november if am not mistaken, Dr Hesham has been giving us (5th year Qasr el Ainy students) revision pediatrics lecture ...every teusday and thursday at 6.45 a.m. in the morning...yup, that early!...as that was the only time either one of us was free...honestly speaking, i only ever get to beat dr hesham once or twice before his lecture...he was always on time...and towards the second semester, we added another 2 hours in wednesday from 2-4 p.m....

and there was once dr hesham did a straight 4 hr revision for slides just before our peadiatric end round exam, wow!...he was standing the whole 4 hours!

his efforts mesmerized me... it showed me that, being great doesn't come by chance, i cower behind the effort that he's shown...how he worked hard to come as early as 6.45 in the morning and sometimes end his lecture from the groans of students who thought their brain were about to explode from the amount of informations he gave ( i mean to convey that even at his age, he didn't seem to know the meaning of tired compared to us 'syabab') ...no wonder he is a professor...and not only that he is concern in giving us knowledge, dr hesham also taught us about being a good doctor...

his lecture today ended with slides about:-

Qualities of a good Doctor

sense of responsibility

compassion and empathy

professionalism

fount of knowledge

humility

clinical acumen and judgement

communication skills

a good doctor is more than academic excellence, it involves right attitude, aptitude, character, commitment, demeanor and heart of service

- Dr Mohamed Hesham Sayed

*May Allah bless you for your efforts and sincerity more than you deserve...thank you dr.!

* grateful to be given the chance in meeting such awesome people...it is very rare to find such professors willing to give out free lectures as early as dawn and hardworking friends who boost your spirit to search for knowledge...and i found them here in my school, Qasr el Ainy Faculty of Medicine.
