My Good Student
Amy Chin (Y/M Hospital Semporna, Sabah) came for MTAC Warfarin attachment in Hospital Duchess of Kent, Sandakan (HDOK) 7-11 December 2009. She was a quick learner. Even taught me some tips on Warfarin Therapy. =) Amazing her Vitamin K chart.
MTAC Warfarin started in Hospital Semporna on 17 December 2009!!! Fantastic is the word.
My two cents of advice for her:
TREAT THE PATIENT, NOT THE LEVEL.
Good luck to "Hakka Mui" of MTAC Warfarin, Jabatan Farmasi, Hospital Semporna.

Getting Out Of Your Comfort Zone
He said, “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover.”
So, sail far and fly high. Let no regrets or disappointments come in your way 20 years from now.

HOT DOGS
2 Chinese illegal immigrants found themselves in New York. Feeling hungry, they came up to a street vendor selling hot dogs. Wong said to Lee in a shocked tone, "Look, they eat dogs here too." Says Lee, "Well, since we are he...re,we must do as they do." The vendor handed them their food in two paper packets. Wong opened his packet & looking slightly embarrassed, asked Lee, "Which part of the dog did you get?"

ABSTRACT
Introduction: The HDOK pharmacist-managed warfarin clinic (PMWC) was started in December 2005. Lau et al (2006) found that anticoagulation control by the PMWC was as good as usual medical care. There were significant improvement in compliance and patient knowledge. Although monthly audits are carried out, in-depth study on anticoagulation control had not been undertaken since 2006.
Objective: To evaluate if outpatient INR control in the PMWC have improved with experience and changes in protocol/workflow over the years
Methodology: Retrospective medical record review, 4 months in duration, investigating INR control in 2006 and 2009.
Results: 131 and 191 patients were studied in the 2006 and 2009 periods respectively. (to be cont)
Conclusion: After three years of experience running the warfarin clinic, the PMWC significantly improved anticoagulation control and reduced the number of INR tests required to maintain good INR control.
