Introducing books for Pediatrics Posting:

    

A must have for those who are doing pediatric posting in Malaysia Governement Hospital. Basically it is a book of guidelines mostly on management for the governement hospitals all over Malaysia. And doing pediatric posting in CUCMS, the lecturers expect us to know some outlines of management for our case presentation or case write up. Hence, this book is really helpful. Unfortunately you can't buy this book from Kamal Bookstore. You can download the pdf file here.

In A Page Pediatrics

     I found out this book, at the 7th week posting. It was late but then I can tell you, this book is really wrth buying. For the clinical exam preparation, I read this book plus the Pediatric Protocol, the green book that I introduced above. I will share more about my preparation for my exam in the Pediatric Posting sharing. Of course not all the information was available in this book but then this book comprise of most of the common cases and for every diseases, it has the epidemiology, signs and symptoms, differential diagnosis, lab investigations, management and also the prognosis. I really make full use of this book. Whenever I found any additional information in Nelson or Essential Pediatrics by OP Ghai, I will write it in this book. For me, this is also a must have.

Illustrated Textbook of Paediatrics

      I bought this book. People call it SUNFLOWER. I like the classification for hematological disorders in children, meningitis, the pictures of types of rashes, neonatal jaundice, nutrition and normal development for children in this book. :) Dr. Rosman love to use this book!

Nelson Essential of Pediatrics

GHAI Essential Pediatrics

     I suggested that you can borrow this two books from the library. That is what I did. Nelson is good but it is really thick. So as Dr. Azlina suggested to us, read only the points in the table form. Those are all the important points. Seriously, I love to read tables in Nelson as compared to Ghai Essential Pediatrics. It helps! It is really informative!


      If Dr. Rosman will suggest you the Illustrated Textbook for Pediatrics, Dr. Azlina will prefer you to use Ghai Essential Pediatrics. However, up to you which want you prefer! As for me, I love the In A Page Pediatrics, the green Protocol plus reading up the tabulated points form in Nelson. :D By the way, Ghai Essential Pediatrics is the only textbook that has some explainations on dengue hemorrhagic fever. :)

The voyage of the Dawn Treader

After going to pc Fair this morning, my friends and I went to Times Square.. watching The Voyage of The Dawn Treader, the fifth book written by C.S. Lewis, a christian author. It is so amazing, I always love when it comes to the part that Aslan appears and helps :) And this time, the best part is when theyir ship went to an island whereby there will need to overcome their "evil thoughts from the past."

In the mansion, Lucy met an old man and his advice for them before they leave the island of Dufflepuds was, "To defeat the darkness, u must defeat the darkness inside you." This advice is really suitable for me, my current situation. When I saw they are tempted by their "past experience" (that is when they reached the dark island), I saw myself actually.. ehem... that was not the main point here (^_^")

Another interesting quotes I got from the movie is from Reepicheep. I am not very sure, but he said something like this, "I am willing to put down my sword, for my joy is to see your kingdom." And so, Reepicheep throws his sword away and paddles his coracle to Aslan's Country. I hope to put down my sword too.. hm..


And in this story, most of it talk about courage! :)

Christian themes in "The voyage of the Dawn Treader" : http://www.gotquestions.org/Narnia_Voyage-Dawn-Treader.html

I love the story because of the way the author write it more or less similar to the Christianity. Well, some may not agree with me but the story was good although the 3D effects weren't that much. Oh ya, I watched 3D version this afternoon. :)

The first book told u how the magic cupboard came from. A "must read" book :)
The second book is fun, lots more better than the movie. This is "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe."
The fourth book, Prince Caspian, no comments..
The fifth book is boring..quite dragging a bit in the part when they landed at the island of Dufflepuds. I slept so many times while reading. The movie is far more better. This is "The voyage of the Dawn Treader". Movie released on 9th December :)

I, myself not yet finish reading all the 7 books. :) Anyone interested to read the 7 series of the chronicles of narnia, kindly contact me, I can borrow u my books. My best friend bought the whole set for me on my 18th birthday :)

Next holidays, I will read on "The silver Chair." :)
