“Hmm..is the dose 50mg or 500mg?…oh well…I’ll just give either one.
Someone will correct me. I don’t want to look stupid in front of the M.O”
“That’s not En. Ramli’s X-ray but I’m too scared to tell the specialist
because I will get scolded”
“I remembered the surgeon left a gauze in the patient’s abdomen
but I guess he remembers it. Anyway, it’s not my problem”
Specialist : “ Start the patient on T. Carbimazole 20mg OD “
H.O : “Did he say Carbamazepine or Carbimazole?”

Doctor, I have a 29-year-old male in our ED. He has had abdominal pain for 3
days and was being treated by G.P previously. Since he wasn’t getting any better,
his wife drove him here from Chini to Pekan with their two kids. He waited in
the ED for an hour and a half before we saw him. He was then started on IV drip
for half hours in the ED while waiting for blood investigation. The G.P treated
him with T. Ranitidine for the past two days. I would like you to review this
patient now as we think this is an appendicitis.
