CTC Meeting

I reached hospital as usual today ..almost forgetting about our CTC meeting. It is actually a monthly basis consensual meeting between my unit, cardiology and cardiothoracix surgery unit in HUKM. Yeah.. partly because i am not the one who has to prepare slaids for the meeting.. And for today.. my junior did their part. All together, we started the meeting with the presence of 3 cardiologist and 5 cardiothoracix surgeon. Our aim was to discuss regarding cases that need surgical intervention like CABG (bypass surgery) , valve replacement, defect closure (e.g Atrial Septal Defect) and also featured interesting cases we have seen in our daily practice. We even sometimes concluded for conservative management for poorly functioned- non viable heart when nothing much to offer.

We have to go through patient profile, the ECHO findings and the coronary angiogram or transesophageal ECHO (TOE). The discussion was quite extensive with the respect of both team input and specialities.

We ended our meeting nearly 7 pm... and my my ... i was very tired... Earlier, the clinic today finished on time... thanks to my colleagues who managed to cope with time. Luckily.. our planned Registrar's Nite Out in Tupai tupai today was cancelled off . Tak cukup korum !! Was it very difficult to gather all of them?? Yeah ... doctors ..mmmmm. Tomorrow,my 2 cardiologists will fly off to Bangkok for an international conference.. I expect tomorrow and the rest of the week will be busier without them around. Arrrrghhh.. And one of them even said `Nevermind .. Syukur is A Superman ! " What ?? I am..... mmmmmm feel honoured . At least , people appreciate me in that manner.

This was before the meeting, waiting for others to come.. but refreshment always come first.. ha ha..
