This thursday, the final year students will attend their HO interview. And according to medic students in UK and Ireland which has already passed the interview few months back, the interview will be conducted in Bahasa Malaysia and there will be 3 interviewer. 2 from government, 1 is a doctor.

1st person will ask everything about the country such as Rukun Negara, ask u to sing Negaraku, ask who is the Menteri Besar selangor, who is the current Yang di-Pertuan Agong, blah blah blah. So this made everybody panic and they start hafaling Rukun Negara and practice singing Negaraku —> not kidding! Feels like we are back to primary 1 last time. Hahaha. By the way anyone remember the rukun negara? Kepercayaan kepada Tuhan,…. eerrhhh next one is wat?.. Someone enlighten me? Haha my dota mate have difficulties in remembering the rukun negara.

And since there’s a big changes in our country since 8th of March I think they all should prepare something different a bit. In case they ask me who is the most gempak politician in Malaysia, I would answer them Jeff Ooi! Bloggers for bloggers mah!

2nd person will ask u to translate some medical related terms from english to BM —-> die lor… 11 tahun blajar BM tapi 5 tahun kat russia, semua orang mia BM sudah turun standard. So my neighbours all kumpul in the kitchen during dinner time for a belajar dan refresh BM session.

Then we realise hor not all the words we remember. Lol… pls dun ask me why we forgot about it. It’s just so spontaneous to keep BM out of our brain after SPM tamat. Errrhh… some of the words… we couldn’t recall what it is call. Will all the kind and smart readers help me translate? those unknown or forgotten words are marked with a lot of question marks. Terima kasih.

Breast - nen nen payudara
Cancer - sel barah
Vagina - alat kelamin????—-> according to enghaw hehe, betul ke ini? tolong translate
STD - penyakit kelamin (ini saya tau)
Elbow - saku siku
Knee - lutut
Ankle - ????
Headache - sakit kelapa kepala
Penis - kukujiao????
shoulder - bahu
Piles/hemorrhoid veins - Buarsi? —> spelling correct or not?
Diarrhea - cirit-birit
constipation - errrh?????
Vomiting - muntah
Nausea - loya????
Pregnant - mengandung
Preterm baby - errh… bayi… bayi… tak cukup bulan???? (ini saya tak tau)
Menstrual cycle - kitar haid

hahaha not only medical terms, even when writing resume we got difficulties. Why do our government make things so difficult neh? bahasa pasar boleh guna tak abang? Even my Malay neighbour have forgotten some of the words lol.

3rd person (doctor) will ask about theory so I guess this one no problem kua…. unless if he ask me to name all the classification of antibiotics… omg.

so I better study hard, study relli relli hard… balik rumah belajar BM dan sejarah… and probably have to ask my primary Yr 4 brother to teach me who is which minister and so… hmm let me see do I still remember how to sing Selangor state song? hmmm…. But hey I know who is the new chief minister of Penang - Lim Guan Eng! errh… no no, should I add YB in front of his name as well? =)

They really ask such questions?
Lol.. I don’t think local docs also know all. -.-” (I’m jz a 2nd year med student)

So here I’ll try to help since we are studying in English in local Uni too.

Vagina = faraj
Hemorrhoids = Buasir
Pre-term = pra-matang, I guess.

If you wanna know the basic terms, I think I try refer you to UKM “Wikipedia” project that we’d done at:

http://www.medicine.ukm.my/wiki/index.php/Talk:Main_Page

You can laugh at it anyway, cos basically we had no idea what we were doing since translating is hard enough for us too.

Hope it helps..

oooh ya..UPM had a good wiki of definitions on medical terms…as they got a new wing for their health sciences now….

I’m a Singaporean anyway…so we got no rukun negara… just have to remember the pledge,national anthem, and …. CONSTITUTION..

One thing I know they will ask is the UN GENEVA CONVENTION HUMAN RIGHTS ACT.

I know..because I asked those silly questions before… when I was lecturing …

ha! i see that u r nervous about that interview.
I had it last year, not so difficult la.
Mine was 2 interviewers, 1 from SPR and 1 was a doc.
The guy from SPR will ask anything, like who’s director general of Health Ministry, rukun negara, Chief Minister….blah…
But, if you don’t know some, i dun think they will penalise you gua…
[if they ask about the new CM of PG, said loudly: Lim Guan Eng from DAP!!!]haha!
Some of my friends were “tested” by the doctors, as if they were sitting for long cases.
Phew! lucky mine just ask about what do i intend to subspecialise in.
Anyway, don’t worry about the language, most of the doctors nowadays use Engliah.
I have another short case exam on Thurs, and after that…..freedom for 3 months!!!! YEAH!

Azrin: Hi azrin, thanks for the translation. Lol u sure premature baby is bayi kurang matang? sounds very funny tho. =D

einazani: like what medicboyz said… yes! they ask these questions for unknown reason. Probably trying to test how patriotic we are? hmmm… hehe my interview will be next year cos I’m graduating in June 2009.

micching: oh yea… zakar… ahaha

-YM-: hey junior, akaka the grass on the other side is not always greener. I think local medic students are as good as other places. We have to deal with patients in Russian language so it’s kinda hard for us to remember back BM cos we seldom use BM anymore in conversation. Keep it up! continue to hafal ur rukun negara for the next few yrs until ur interview =D. In case after i bcom doctor and is suppose to interview next time, I’ll help u pass… shhh dun tell anyone about this *wink.

宝茹: I know 1 fillipino word! hallo! ahahaha
