i have been posted to the orthopedic ward in K5 for exactly one month now
i have learnt a lot including on how to order drugs through the computerized system
of course, there were a lot of ups and downs
3 of my MOs are kind enough to me
my brannula skills have improved a lil bit.
i can now withdraw blood from old uncles. i could still remember how terrible i was back in med school. the vein was protruding and i couldn't get that blood into the syringe
Dr A said that my skills and knowledge were inadequate when i assisted him in OT. he said i was holding the scissors badly.
Dr K hit my hand with the bone cutter when i held the scissors wrongly. we did Incision and drainage for a right shin abscess in the OT 2 days back. i had fun sucking the thick yummy pus. i was then warned by him to stop playing with the pus
i presented my first CME today. surprisingly my specialists love my presentation
hoho...so delighted and proud of myself.
i can now treat high BP cases, hypokalemic cases and uncontrolled DM
i have done 2 ray's amputation too
guess that i have achieved quite a lot in this one month
can't wait to go to medicine. the HOD is worst than the combination of manomani and mv. since all my colleagues are appealing for medical after ortho postings, i guess i will go to hell together with them
starting my active call tomorrow. i hope i will be able to set at least 3 brannulas...
