Hybrid health records; combining paper and digital medical charting

Today we had our training in the new, read-only hospital records system. We use something called PowerChart which is employed in almost all of the hospitals run by the Vancouver Island Health Authority (VIHA). Various sub-programs are used to input pathology info, lab values, medical imaging reports and transcribed patient encounters. We are still meant to do phone dictations to the typing pool, but they’ll appear in the chart. We hand write orders, but they are faxed to someone in the magical basement who enters them into the system (or maybe the unit clerk does it). ER triage forms are included in the system. I’m not sure how much will be in paper format, but for now, we are to have both the electronic and paper charts open in front of us when doing any record perusal.

The ‘hybrid’ system exists because we are transitioning from paper to pure digital charts. Unfortunately, I’ve seen this elsewhere, and I have yet to encounter a service that is 100% digital. The St. Paul’s Hospital Emergency Department, in Vancouver, is getting close. But doctors and nurses still use paper forms for triage & notes, even if they are scanned in eventually.

To view radiology, we still rely on InteleViewer for PACS. It’s quite nice, because we can log-in from home… if I could just figure out what my proxy account is!

Tomorrow or Monday, I’ll find out what my Family Practice preceptors’ clinic is using. Most that I’ve encountered in the past use some blend of paper histories and progress notes with digital labs, consults, and radiology. This isn’t uncommon across the country; according to the CBC, Canada is still pretty retro when it comes to the format of medical records. Digitizing can be an expensive and cumbersome process, though the government of British Columbia has started to inject funding into the area. There are so many companies manufacturing Electronic Medical Records software; partly, this is because they are trying to build the ‘perfect’ system (many of these are physician-created) and partly, they can make good money doing so. Competition and capitalism allow for consumer choice, but I’ve got to say that here is one place where I would really love a national, standardized system. It would need a lot of health-care provider input and would have to be adequately customizable to make it acceptable to most people. But I can fathom it. Maybe we’ll get there in my lifetime.

Guidelines For Children’s Eye Care

Prevention of defects of the eye is a very important, especially for parents. Like many of developing eye problems in children, eye care of children is of utmost importance.

At what age should we begin to pay attention to the eyes of your children in difficulties and to prevent them? Poor vision is born of bad habits. The time to begin, therefore, is when the baby begins to see objects around him.

It is the color of bright objects hanging from a baby’s cradle on top of the level of his eyes like a lollipop, which will lay the groundwork for much of the muscle imbalance that later on the causes of refractive errors and the eyestrain.

The baby still looks to the object and acquire the habit of watching while the small muscles of the eye is fixed instead of flexibility. And parents welcome the baby is “good” and that he was calm in his cradle, without creating a disturbance.

In early childhood, too, the initiative of children is surrounded by adults who sense to play him. do too much with their faces and eyes of light, an attitude which he adopted unconsciously.

Eye care of children should certainly deal with cross eyes. Cross-eyes often make their first appearance in early childhood, the condition is often shortly after birth and the distraction of the parents, either (a) the state of neglect, in the hope that it will be clear that the time password, (b) have made the eyes, causing tension and stress, (c) or to eye on the young child.

Glasses are a trial to anyone. How many times you hear someone complain, “I do not have my glasses yet.” For a child, the glasses are much more unfortunate, for psychological reasons, and for visual reasons. To see a small child, with round glasses on his little nose is simply a tragedy. It is grotesque.

Cross in the eyes of a baby can be cured by the simple process of fixing a patch over the good eye so that the low is obliged to take his part. Otherwise, the vision in the weak eye, but becomes weaker, it is strongest in the eye, until the condition is fixed.

It should be stressed that the sooner you realize the signs of lack of vision, the easier it is to correct them.

Another point to be made on children in care, is that every year, countless children are fitted with glasses when there is absolutely nothing the matter with the eyes. In some cases, the complaint of visual problems, even blindness, is a deliberate form of a simulation or an attempt at self-dramatization or psychological symptoms of some underlying emotional.

In other cases, Children who complain of headaches or poor vision, and all eyes showed temporary signs of abnormal vision, are pressed by their anxious parents of an ophthalmologist and the child is helpless chained with glasses. Yet the headache May be the result of one of the innumerable causes and poor vision in May be due to a defect in the habits of the child slipped, without his parents, observation of the facts.

The eyes are the first to show the results of the bad health condition and degraded. If you wish to maintain normal vision of your child, therefore, make sure that his physical condition is at height. Bad teeth, tonsils, adenoids, glands are bad, but poison in the system affect all eyes immediately.

A balanced diet is important for healthy eyes. We are, to a greater extent than we realize, a product of what we eat. A lack of food is essential long-term effect on weight, energy, our ability to exit or to guard against the disease.

Any parent who wants to guard and protect the health of her child is alert to see that the proper vitamins and calories, the quantity of milk, green vegetables, vegetables and fruit appear in the daily food of the child .

It should be noted, however, that if all these things are essential for growth and the creation of a healthy body, vitamin A is especially important for healthy eyes.

Prevention is better than cure when it comes to your child’s eyes. Attention to children eye care can never start too early.

TEFRA APPROVED!!!!!

Prayers have been answered!   (see THIS post I made back in March if you forgot what TEFRA is)

Today, Nick got home from work and jumped in the car with me and we pulled up to the mailbox as we left the house. We saw a suspicious envelope from the state and we tore into it. It was an approval letter stating we have been TEFRA approved! Praise God!

We will pay $58/mo and it will pay for EVERYTHING medical related for Luke. Anything that insurance doesnt cover TEFRA picks up. Therapy, co-pays, medicines, and whatever else! The amount is based on sliding scale but it’s fantastic because ONE of his meds costs that each month. This is such a good thing. He has at least 3 meds he takes daily and if hes sick he can easily have 4 or 5 meds at once. 

Also, now.. this is the tremendous part… TEFRA is retroactive from the date we applied (March 28) go back 3 months (December 28)!! We will be reimbursed for ALL his meds from December 28 .. TO DATE! All his medical procedures (which is both swallow studies and the upper GI), all his PCP well and sick visits, neurology and EEGs, ENT and allergy appointments will be covered and anything we have already paid will be reimbursed! 

We will reapply every year to retain TEFRA. The program is available until 18yrs of age.

Chlamydia

For everything there is a first time. Yesterday was the first time that we ever got a call from a pharmacy. The pharmacist asked us to fax over information about chlamydia for a young woman who was waiting there. The coworker who received the call had to ask me how we handle such transactions. I told her to fax it ASAP once I found a suitable entry on the topic in a medical encyclopedia. The first one that I found was too short but had a really nice close-up of an infected schlong. After seeing it I was like, “Next!” Then I found the perfect entry in another book that I had my coworker copy and fax for the woman.

… All in a days work.

Toilet Tale

Jimbo was pleasantly surprised when he saw a little post card slipped under the door of his office when he came in for work yesterday morning. The card was from a student who recently made a trip to Singapore and picked up the card, thinking that Jimbo would “find this postcard interesting”. (Thanks! And yes, it is interesting)

Here’s what was printed on the card:

Photobucket

Which begs the question: Okay, so you can’t get HIV from the toilet seat, so what CAN you get from the toilet seat?

Actually not much, from what Jimbo read on the net.

For instance you can’t really catch public lice (crabs): Crabs – also known as pubic lice – can be spread by sex play and other intimate or close contact. They’re also spread by contact with infected bedding, clothing, upholstered furniture. A common misbelief is that infestation can be spread by sitting on a toilet seat. This isn’t likely, since lice cannot live long away from a warm human body. Also, lice do not have feet designed to walk or hold onto smooth surfaces such as toilet seats.

You can’t really catch Genital Herpes, unless “Basically you have to be sitting on a toilet seat immediately after someone who has Herpes Simplex in outbreak sat on it and managed to smear a large amount of virus on the seat. You will then have to have rubbed either your genitals, anus or an open cut on your bottom or thighs on the toilet seat to catch the virus but even in an unlikely scenario like this, the chances of catching Herpes are very slim”

And basically, you can’t really get any STD from a toilet seat. “To my knowledge, no one has ever acquired an STD on the toilet seat — unless they were having sex on the toilet seat!” says Abigail Salyers, PhD, president of the American Society for Microbiology (ASM).

Still, there are some things that one can do to minimize the risk of getting an infection when using a public toilet:
* Rather than flushing the toilet with your bare hand, use your shoe. Everyone else is probably doing it.
* After washing your hands, use a paper towel to shut off the faucet and to open the door on your way out, in order to keep from becoming contaminated (but then again, in Malaysia, toilets with paper towels are rare)
* Whenever possible, use a restroom stall with toilet paper that is almost completely covered in a metal or plastic holder, which will guard against splattering water and germs.
* Use hot-air hand dryers with care. In order to feel the hot air, you might have to get very close to the vents. Don’t let your hands touch the surface of the vents, however, or you’ll risk contamination.

So, why is Jimbo talking about toilet (tall) tales?

Here’s a story.

Once upon a time, a young couple got married. As expected with marriage, the young couple had sex. Two weeks later, the wife felt pain and discomfort near her genitalia which rapidly progressed to severe ulcerations and secondary bacterial infection. Because she sought treatment late (due to shyness maybe), she was in shock and having high swinging temperature by the time she presented to the hospital.

Thankfully, with a good course of antibiotics and Acyclovir, she recovered over a period of 2 weeks. The diagnosis was Herpes Simplex with secondary bacterial infection.

The wife said she never ‘did it’ before marriage. “Ditto”, claimed the hubby but he did say he had some ‘lesions’ on his penis on and off for a long time.

The wife asked Jimbo how she got the awful thing. The hubby asked Jimbo how he got the awful thing.
The wife looked at the hubby one kind.
The hubby looked back at the wife one kind.
They both looked at Jimbo one kind.

It’s a one month old marriage.

And so Jimbo took a deep breath….

Muttered a prayer asking for forgiveness for what he was about to do….

And said…

“Maybe one of you got it from a dirty toilet”…

Jom balik!

0133 Hours – July 03, 2009.

Alhamdulillah, sekarang baru tergerak hati dan berpeluang untuk update blog ini. Setelah beberapa ketika ditinggalkan, dek kerana diri dihimpit kesibukan dan kebengongan menempuh peperiksaan.

Peperiksaan, semester keenam dalam bidang perubatan di sini sememangnya sangat2 mencabar. 5 subjek kesemuanya, yang menjadi pillar “rukun” kepada bidang medik secara keseluruhannya. 5 subjek tersebut adalah – General Surgery (Pembedahan Am), Internal Medicine (Perubatan), Pathologic Physiology (Fisiologi Penyakit), Pathologic Anatomy (Anatomi Penyakit), serta Pharmacology (Farmakologi/Ubat-Ubatan).

So untuk post kali ini, aku nak bercerita satu demi satu peperiksaan tersebut. Guna ayat skema pula tu. Lantaklah korang nak baca atau tidak. Haha.

0136 Hours – July 03, 2009.

Peperiksaan sudah disusun jadualnya. Mengikut perancangan awal, aku bercadang nak selesaikan sekurang-kurangnya satu peperiksaan lebih awal dari tarikh sebenar, agar bebanan di hujung-hujung bulan tidak terlalu ketara. Namun apakan daya, perancangan hanya tinggal perancangan. Sudahnya aku buat semua peperiksaan tepat pada tarikhnya juga.

Peperiksaan pertama yang aku tempuhi adalah Surgery. Tekanan tidak terlalu terasa, kerana subjek ini secara relatifnya mudah (berbanding subjek-subjek lain). Aku sempat la juga untuk habis mengulangkaji semua soalan-soalan yang ada. Peperiksaan subjek surgery terdiri dari beberapa aspek – teori, dan praktikal. Sebanyak 3 soalan teori akan ditanya, meliputi aspek asas-asas dalam pembedahan, soalan umum berkenaan pembedahan, serta soalan mengenai infeksi/jangkitan melibatkan pembedahan. Seterusnya bahagian praktikal pula, soalan keempat, pelajar akan ditanya mengenai pelbagai aspek – bagaimana mengenalpasti kumpulan darah, bagaimana melakukan bandage/balutan @ dressing, mengenalpasti gambar X-Ray dan lain2.

Adapun aku, mendapat soalan yang lebih kurang senang juga lah. Soalan pertama aku, mengenai Antiseptik Biologi dan Kimia. Habislah semua aku cerita. Soalan kedua, mengenai Pemindahan Darah (Blood Transfusion). Pun alhamdulillah, aku boleh prepare jawapannya. Soalan ketiga, mengenai Boils And Furuncle (Bisul) – pun aku lega, sebab memang aku tertarik dengan infeksi ini memandangkan aku pernah dibedah ketika kecil dek kerana penyakit ini. Soalan keempat aku, mengenai balutan Dessault.

Secara written, alhamdulillah aku berjaya lah menulis rangka jawapan. Namun kemudian part yang paling digeruni, iaitu menjawab di hadapan lecturer (viva). Aku membentangkan rangka jawapan aku tu, alhamdulillah lecturer (Dr. Avdonin) menerima dengan baik. Kemudian dia mula bertanyakan soalan-soalan tambahan kepada aku. Dek kerana chuak, tambahan pula kebanyakan soalan yang ditanya tersebut aku tidak baca pula, so aku sangkut lah sedikit. Antara soalan yang ditanya – apa beza Furuncle dengan Siberian Ulcer/Anthrax, apa beza autologous blood transfusion dengan reinfusion dll.

So natijahnya aku dapat 4 sahaja (B). Huhu. Apa2pun syukur~

0147 Hours – July 03, 2009.

Peperiksaan Surgery pada 9 Jun tersebut berakhir. Peperiksaan seterusnya, Internal Medicine, iaitu pada 16hb. Subjek yang sangat-sangat penting, kerana menjadi asas kedoktoran sebagai kerjaya kepada para pelajar. Antara yang kami pelajari adalah seperti bagaimana mengambil case history pesakit, bagaimana membuat auscultation (mendengar bunyi menggunakan stetoskop), bagaimana mengambil tekanan darah, serta mengenai penyakit-penyakit yang common seperti tekanan darah tinggi, kencing manis dsb.

Alhamdulillah, senggang masa yang ada antara peperiksaan surgery dengan internal medicine agak panjang, iaitu 6 hari. Maka boleh la juga aku prepare keseluruhannya. Namun sangat2 risau, kerana banyak sangat yang perlu dibaca. Bila baca yang hujung2, yang awal2 tu dah lupa. Bila baca awal2 tu, yang hujung pula yang lupa2. T_T

Hari exam. Kami sangat2 menggeruni seorang examiner ini, biarlah dirahsiakan namanya. Walaupun berwajah baik seolah-olah mempunyai naluri keibuan, kami difahamkan beliau sangat kejam ketika peperiksaan. Pernah terjadi kes pelajar cuba membunuh diri kerana tidak tahan asyik digagalkan peperiksaan berkali-kali oleh beliau.

Maka pada hari exam itu, para pelajar tahun ketiga NNSMA secara berjemaah berdoa agar dielakkan dari berjumpa dengan examiner tersebut.

Nasib baik aku mendapat tarikh peperiksaan di hari kedua, examiner tersebut tidak hadir. Aku dapat examiner yang merupakan cikgu aku sendiri. Soalan yang aku dapat juga senang-senang, alhamdulillah. Satu soalan mengenai bagaimana mengesan masalah kardiovaskular, satu soalan mengenai fenomena “Pulse Deficiency”, manakala satu lagi soalan mengenai ECG. Ah, aku memang dah khatam habis ECG!

Namun apakan daya, dek kerana kemalasan aku di kelas agaknya (hehe), serta kegagalan menjawab beberapa soalan tambahan dari examiner tersebut, aku diberi markah 4 (B) lagi. Syukur, alhamdulillah. (^_^)v

0156 Hours – July 03, 2009.

Peperiksaan internal medicine tamat. Aku mula menjadi pening-pening. Intoxication. Peperiksaan seterusnya, subjek Pathologic Physiology, hanya selang 3 hari! Masakan mungkin aku dapat mengulang kembali kesemuanya dalam masa 3 hari! Tambahan pula, subjek ini aku pelajari ketika awal-awal semester dahulu, so banyak sangat yang sudah dilupakan. Bila baca balik pun, rasa macam blur je. Huhu.

Aku nekad jelah. Baca sebanyak mana yang boleh. Pandai-pandai lah goreng di hadapan lecturer nanti. T_T

Alhamdulillah, aku dapat soalan yang agak aku boleh jawab. Soalan mengenai allergi, soalan mengenai fenomena kurang darah / lebih darah, serta satu soalan mengenai analisis jaundice dalam badan.

Examiner tersebut pula, jenis yang evaluate secara first-impression. Beliau tidak dengar habis kesemua jawapan pelajar. Just dengar 4-5 ayat untuk satu soalan, then dia terus tulis markah dan proceed untuk soalan seterusnya. Barangkali dia tengok kepada tahap konfiden pelajar agaknya. Syukur bagi aku, kerana aku yang awal2 tu je yang boleh jawab. Soalan2 belakang2, aku goreng je. Hehe. Alhamdulillah, B lagi. =)

0201 Hours – July 03, 2009.

Kemudian, peperiksaan yang antara paling digeruni – Pathologic Anatomy. Digeruni bukan sekadar kerana banyaknya yang perlu dibaca, tetapi lebih digeruni kerana seorang examiner ini yang begitu kejam ketika peperiksaan. Sejarah telah membuktikan ramai perajurit-perajurit yang kecundang di tangan examiner ini, hingga terpaksa membawa peperiksaan tersebut ke semester hadapan (repeat).

Peperiksaan Path.Anatomy juga sangat kompleks skopnya. Pada mulanya, pelajar akan menjawab soalan objektif sebanyak 50 soalan terlebih dahulu. Sesiapa yang lulus (lebih 35 betul), baru dibenarkan untuk proceed. Siapa yang gagal di peringkat ini, secara automatik gagal keseluruhan peperiksaan.

Seterunya pelajar diberi kertas soalan, yang biasanya mengandungi 4 soalan. Soalan pertama merupakan soalan teori. Soalan kedua merupakan soalan kes klinikal. Soalan ketiga merupakan soalan mengenalpasti slide histologi, manakala soalan keempat merupakan soalan mengenalpasti spesimen gross. Dan sesiapa yang ada menyediakan pembentangan (ala-ala kerja kursus) untuk semester tersebut, akan mendapat pengecualian soalan ketiga.

Selang masa 3 hari sangat-sangat mendesak aku. Itulah 3 hari yang paling panjang dalam hidup aku. Terlalu mendesak. Aku cuba juga sumbatkan kesemua material dalam kepala otak aku. Nasib baik subjek tersebut baru sahaja aku pelajari sebelum peperiksaan, maka masih segar di ingatan aku. Akhirnya aku melangkah ke dalam bilik peperiksaan dengan berdoa – “Mintak2 lah tak dapat soalan mengenai cancer, mengenai infection!”

Dan alhamdulillah, dengan izinNya, aku tak dapat langsung soalan mengenai kedua-dua tersebut. Soalan pertama aku mengenai Acute Kidney Insufficiency (Kegagalan Buah Pinggang), manakala untuk klinikal kes pula aku dapat mengenai Hypostatic Bronchopneumonia. Soalan ketiga aku dikecualikan, memandangkan aku ada membuat pembentangan, manakala soalan keempat aku mengenai Pulmonary Embolism.

Kemudian tiba saat-saat yang dinanti-nantikan = menjawab secara viva. Semua pelajar di dalam bilik peperiksaan tersebut berdoa, semoga tidak diketemukan dengan examiner kejam tersebut.

Hampir tiba giliran aku, cikgu yang mengajar kelas aku, Dr. Kuznetsov tiba ke bilik peperiksaan. Beliau lantas bertanya – “Who’s ready?” maka aku dengan lajunya mengangkat tangan! Lantas beliau datang kepadaku untuk memulakan sesi viva.

Alhamdulillah, soalan-soalan aku tersebut, aku jawab sejibik-sejibik sebagaimana yang beliau terangkan dalam kelas! Beliau sendiri tersenyum, sebab beliau tahu apa yang aku jawab, itulah yang beliau sampaikan di dalam kelas. Alhamdulillah, aku cemerlang. “It’s been a pleasure to learn from you, sir!”

0213 Hours – July 03, 2009.

Tamat sudah peperiksaan Pathologic Anatomy, tinggal peperiksaan terakhir – Pharmacology. Peperiksaan yang aku sendiri gelarkan “the Mother of Medic”, kerana ia merupakan antara subjek terpenting. Melibatkan pengurusan rawatan dan ubat-ubatan. Berpuluh-puluh nama ubat yang perlu dihafal. Setiap ubat ada kategorinya yang tersendiri. Setiap ubat ada mekanisma yang tersendiri. Kesan sampingan yang tersendiri. Indication yang tersendiri, contraindication yang tersendiri.

Dan semuanya untuk aku ingat – dalam masa 3 hari T_T

Rakan-rakan aku yang lain, satu demi satu mula futhur. Banyak yang sudah terlalu tertekan, sehingga menunda peperiksaan ke semester hadapan. Ada yang menunda satu peperiksaan, ada yang menunda 2. Sungguh tergugat semangatku melihat rakan-rakan sudah mula berehat-rehat “bercuti” melepaskan tekanan, sedangkan aku masih punya satu peperangan terakhir.

Tunda? Tunda bukan pilihan aku. Sama sekali bukan pilihan aku. Aku sudah merasai peritnya menunda peperiksaan ketika di tahun dua dahulu. Cuti yang tidak tenang, dek kerana memikirkan peperiksaan. Tambahan pula, untuk tahun hadapan, aku akan menghadapi peperiksaan awal. Untuk menunda, bererti menyeksa diri sendiri.

Lantas aku pergi ke peperiksaan Pharmacology dengan hati yang pasrah dan redha dengan apa jua ketentuan. Kalau ditakdirkan gagal, maka aku repeat lah semula. Kalau ditakdirkan lulus dengan C pun, aku bersyukur.

Alhamdulillah, examiner tersebut, Prof. Dugina, seorang yang sangat-sangat memahami. Beliau tahu, ini merupakan peperiksaan terakhir. “I’m very tired, prof,”. Soalan-soalan yang aku dapat, aku tidak dapat menjawab dengan baik. Semuanya aku jawab separuh-separuh sahaja. Contohnya, soalan pertama mengenai ubat Psychostimulant – terdapat beberapa jenis ubat, namun aku terangkan mengenai kafein sahaja. Kemudian, ubat analgesic non-narkotik, aku hanya menceritakan mengenai aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid). Soalan terakhir, mengenai rawatan jangkitan Spirochete, aku hanya menjawab mengenai jangkitan Syphillis sedangkan banyak lagi jangkitan Spirochete yang lain.

Melihat jawapan aku yang kurang memuaskan, Prof. Dugina mengajukan soalan-soalan tambahan. Namun soalan-soalan tersebut simple sangat2. Seperti – “Apakah ubat bagi merawat Ischemic Heart Disease?” “Apakah ubat bagi tekanan darah tinggi?” “Apakah jenis-jenis diuretik yang kamu tahu?” etc yang aku dapat jawab dengan baik.

Akhirnya beliau memberi aku markah 4 (B). Syukur sangat2~!!

0222 Hours – July 03, 2009.

Secara overall, aku bersyukur sangat2 dengan peperiksaan kali ini. Alhamdulillah, masih tiada C dalam buku rekodku, maka aku masih ada harapan untuk dean’s list (Red Diplome).

Nasib dan takdir sangat-sangat menyebelahi aku. Soalan-soalan yang aku dapat, semuanya yang aku study betul-betul. Bersyukur sangat-sangat.

Aku tak tahu apa yang aku amalkan sehingga Allah betul-betul menolong aku untuk exam kali ini. Namun yang pasti, setiap malam exam aku sms mak aku, minta dia tolong doakan. Bila aku tensi nak futhur, aku sms mak aku. Dan aku yakin, doa dari mak aku yang push aku through semua ini. Alhamdulillah.

Kini, tamat sudah tahun ketiga di Nizhny Novgorod State Medical Academy. Wallahi, sekejap sangat2 masa berlalu. Dahulu aku masih mengira-ngira hari aku berada di sini, tanpa aku sedari sudah 50% rupanya perjuangan aku.

Rata-rata senior menyatakan, tahun ketiga adalah tahun yang paling menyeksakan. Alhamdulillah, aku telah berjaya harungi, maka inshaAllah untuk tahun-tahun seterusnya aku tidak akan futhur. Terus doakan kejayaan aku di sini, kalian.

0227 Hours – July 03, 2009

Pasti ada yang sedar, kenapa Kid asyik menghitung masa? Aku sebenarnya sedang menunggu detik jam keempat, untuk aku bertolak dari Nizhny ini, menuju ke Domodedovo Airport, Moscow. Penerbangan aku akan berlepas pada pukul 6.30 petang, 3 Julai 2009. Akhirnya, pulang jua aku ke Malaysia..

Ah, baru 2.30 pagi? Panjang2 aku taip, sejam je?? Apa lagi yang aku nak buat? Hmmm..
