Lessons Learned on Integrated Seminar Week 1

Based purely on my observation...

1. Its never great to be the first team to present, whenever and wherever. 
Reason: You have got no point of reference when presenting something unusual and new.
Example: Common pharmaceutical care plan. Anyway, WHO THE HELL THOUGHT OF SOME SHIT THINGS LIKE THIS?

2. Never ever ask too much question in the integrated seminar that could kill your fellow classmates. 
Reason:  When it is your turn, you are going to drag down your teammate(s) by the barrage of missiles and nukes warhead coming at you from 360 degrees from some of the (usually) silent powerhouse.
Example: I don't think we need any example here. It is so damn obvious...

3. It is always good to have low profile people as your teammates.
Reason: Statistically (Well, sort of, based on my observation + mental statistic) proven to reduce the amount of missiles and nukes aimed at you.
Example: Err...No name shall be mentioned here to preserve their anonymity.


4. READ AND READ AND READ AND READ ALL THE GUIDELINES IN THE WORLD.
Reason: Missiles and nukes from the elders or the young guns will mostly be based on guidelines. Memorised all of it if you can. Melt and fuse them to your brain cells. And better seal it with whatever gingko biloba or vitamin if you have to. Also, preferable not just from Malaysia. The buffet of guidelines from the millions of societies/organisations/bodies in US and UK is all for you to choose for.

5. We all love W** and *S* as our facilitators. And we all hate *I as our facilitators. Also **Y is damned in love with clinical trial.
Reasons and example: W** and *S* give me the feeling that they are very supportive of the presenter. *I, meanwhile, love to hate, preferring to slaughter the presenters. Maybe his taste of woman? I don't know. Just be grateful that he is not my facilitator. Meanwhile, no offense to **Y, but she is totally IN LOVE with clinical trial. So deep in love that she can remember all the strangest names of all the trial. Very useful for research though. A good thing about her is that she does not set off as many missiles at you as compared with *I.


6. Case study presentation is the most targeted area by your lovely-trigger-happy "comrades".
Reason: Most of the missiles and nukes aimed at weak points in the case study. Statistic (of my own) have shown that more than 50% of the missiles target your lovely case study. Beware!
Example: Errr...ALL the 12 case studies so far are your lovely examples!

Thats it for now. Got to do my integrated seminar now or risk getting fried by my partner in crim....err...Presentation.
