Fantastic Years in Medical School

This presentation was produced by me some 3 years ago when my University Mates met in Ipoh.
The video has become jumpy after reformatting to MPEG4 format for blogger upload.  Hope you won't feel giddy after watching it.  Do enjoy the music if you need to close your eyes!!

COPD Lecture @ Citrus

COPD lecture for a select group of doctors and pharmacists.  Saturday 28th September 2013 at Citrus, Ipoh.  The salmon and dessert was really good.  

 

Handheld scanner

I am very impressed with this handheld scanner called Avision.  I managed to scan some very clear  images from the blue picture album below.  There is some urgency in getting the family history together.  Mother just celebrated her 91st birthday.  Praise the Lord.  You may wish to see some pictures at http://drokleong.blogspot.com/

The Doctor

This large framed poster hangs above the examination couch in my clinic.  It was a gift from Dato Teh Siew Eng a close family friend.

"The Doctor" was painted by Sir Luke Fildes.

'Fildes himself said that he wanted 'to put on record the status of the doctor in our own time'. In his description of the picture he indicates that unlike the case of his own son, this one has a happy ending: 'At the cottage window the dawn begins to steal in - the dawn that is the critical time of all deadly illnesses - and with it the parents again take hope into their hearts, the mother hiding her face to escape giving vent to her emotion, the father laying his hand on the shoulder of his wife in encouragement of the first glimmerings of the joy which is to follow.'

The Gopeng Museum

Visited the Gopeng Museum last Saturday 21st September 2013.  The old double storey shop house was located rather easily.  If you are coming from Ipoh along Gopeng Road, just take the turning to the left before the police station and then another left turn to reach the main road in town where the museum is located.

The operators of the museum have put in a lot of effort into preserving the heritage of Gopeng town.  However, the museum should be more focused on the story it is trying to tell rather than placing all the unrelated exhibits under the same roof.  My sincere congratulations to the directors of the museum.
