A signboard was erected yesterday at the entrance of Manipal.edu and Library building.. It does make one wonder, who’s coming?

*roll the drums*

Director-General of Health, and President of Malaysian Medical Council,

Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Dr. Haji Mohd Ismail Bin Merican!

OMG!

So generally there’s a session for us to meet with Tan Sri at Chaitya Hall, Hotel Valley View.. Before that we had light refreshments at another hall.. but i  didnt have photos of it.. hehe

He came mainly for the inauguration of the MMMC Student Council..

Tan Sri delivering his speech

The speech is.. well.. very entertaining, very different from any speech I’ve heard before.. Like our dean has rightly pointed out, this would be the first time people would say “Noo….” when the person delivering the speech wants to end the speech. This really shows how we enjoyed listening to him, and his humorous stories..

So in the end, what did i learned?

I need to get a PDA phone. Why?

“Patients nowadays are more informed than they were before with the advent of information technology. Doctors must keep themselves updated with the latest developments in the field, to stay relevant.”

So.. If the patient asks about something new that I’ve never heard about, I can always ask to be excused to go to the toilet, and go search for info on the phone!
