"A Grandfather Story" on Leong Sin Nam
Thank you for your continuing interest in this book. This book is out of stock since 2011. However you will still be able to read this book in the National Library and Perak State Library. An account of the Life and Times of Leong Sin Nam is also available in the Wikipedia. The second edition of this book is forthcoming and will include more details revealed recently. I am currently writing a manual titled "Breathing Better Together".
Spirography
Used this set to draw beautiful spirographs when I was a teenager. Still remember how many times I have to trace the patterns before getting them right. There were 4 colour pens. Nowadays these circular patterns can easily be created using a computer software like Draw plus. I don't think these kind of art tools are available on sale anymore.

Modified Borg Dypnea Scale
Took 2 hours to produce this Scale. Couldn't find the correct combination of words and pictures in the web to make it easier for patients to indicate their level of breathlessness during stress testing. Will also be using it for the 6 minute walk test.
Patient Instructions for Borg Dyspnoea Scale
“This is a scale that asks you to rate
the difficulty of your breathing. It starts at number 0 where your breathing is
causing you no difficulty at all and progresses through to number 10 where your
breathing difficulty is maximal. How much difficulty is your breathing causing
you right now?”

Visible Body 3D Human Anatomy
This software on Human Anatomy is a great teaching tool for patients and doctors. Seeing the airways and lungs in 3D helps me understanding the relationship of various structures. This programme can be purchased directly from the web. Link http://www.visiblebody.com/index.html . Software is licensed for 2 computers.
Here in the picture you can see my computer screen and a large LCD monitor which serves both as a CCTV monitor plus teaching screen. I also use it to review chest x-ray findings with my patients.
