Critical Thinking....

SaLam n Hye!

Ok, me n myself... Again, ader issue.... =( as written for the title.... CRITICAL THINKING! OMG! Why would someone invent tis! Salah Edward De-Bono kah?? Jeez....!

......Rewind......

I was (am still now) preparing for my interview with IRISH CONSORTIUM, which will be on the 17th of January 2011, to get into one of the top Ireland Med School.... Starting from leprechauns, to the streets keep changing names from one corner to another.... It rains A LOT... No tall buildings.... U2, Westlife.... till, Mary McAleese is the President of Ireland.... Next, I googled "How Doctors Think" stuff....which introduced me to a book by Jerome Groopman... I WANT TIS BOOK SOO BAD! =(( any chance to go to Kinokuniya?? after those google-ing sessions, it was highlighted that i need CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS in order to answer interview questions thoroughly !

........Forward................

Here I am..... Figuring wut critical thinking is all bout...? again, I did some google-ing.... n found....

Foundation for Critical Thinking website...... WOOW!

CURIOSITY... Can i use these methods below to actually answer interview questions later...?? Especially on ethical issues.... Hurrmm.... ??

1st method :

a) Analyze

b) Conceptualize

c) Define

d)Examining

e)Questioning

f) Reasoning

g) Inferring (conclude from evidence and reasoning)

h)My stand

always be : CLEAR, ACCURATE, RELEVANT, LOGICAL, FAIR.... *mcm senang je..*

2nd method :

1. Realize a correct response is one which falls within a fairly broad range; in other words, there is not necessarily a right or wrong answer. “It doesn’t matter what you believe as much as why you believe it.”
2. Be consistent in your remarks.
3. Always answer with a patient-focused approach. “Do what’s right for the patient and you’ll never go wrong.”
